If you're like most computer users, you probably have a lot of data that you need to store, access and manage. An M.2 SSD can be a great way to do this, but how do you get your data onto and off of the SSD? That's where the SSK Aluminum USB 3.2 Gen 1 to M.2 SATA NGFF SSD Enclosure Adapter comes in. In this review, we will take a closer look at this product and see how it performs in everyday use.

Design and Build Quality

The SSK Aluminum USB 3.2 Gen 1 to M.2 SATA NGFF SSD Enclosure Adapter is a compact, portable device with a stylish aluminum alloy shell. One of the first things you notice is how light it is – weighing in at just 1.76 ounces, it is easy to carry around in your bag or pocket.

The enclosure adapter is very easy to use. On one end, it has a USB Type-C connector that can be plugged into your computer or mobile device. On the other end, it has an M.2 SATA NGFF slot that can accept a variety of solid-state drives (SSD) of various sizes including 2242, 2260, and 2280mm.

Performance

The SSK Aluminum USB 3.2 Gen 1 to M.2 SATA NGFF SSD Enclosure Adapter uses high-quality master chip technology to ensure fast and reliable data transfer – up to 5Gbps with USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard. This is more than enough for most people's needs, allowing you to transfer large files, backup your data, or even run an operating system from your external SSD. The blue indicator light on the adapter makes it easy to monitor the data transfer status, providing a quick visual cue.

Compatibility

When buying a device like this, compatibility is always a concern. The SSK Aluminum USB 3.2 Gen 1 to M.2 SATA NGFF SSD Enclosure Adapter supports SATA-based M.2 NGFF(B Key/B+M Key) SSDs. However, it does not support NVMe/PCIe M.2 M Key SSDs. Before purchasing, you should check your SSD label to see if it prints PCIE, NVME. If it does, this enclosure will not support it.

The device is compatible with a variety of operating systems including Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Linux, and MAC. It also works with a variety of devices with USB Type-C ports, including laptops, tablets, smartphones, and gaming consoles.

Summing Up

Overall, the SSK Aluminum USB 3.2 Gen 1 to M.2 SATA NGFF SSD Enclosure Adapter is an excellent product that performs well and is easy to use. Its compatibility with a range of operating systems and devices makes it a versatile addition to your tech arsenal. However, please note that it only supports SATA-based M.2 NGFF(B Key/B+M Key) SSDs and not NVMe/PCIe M.2 M Key SSDs.

While it is true that other SSD enclosure adapters provide higher transfer speeds or better build quality, they are often much more expensive than the SSK version. Given the price and performance of the SSK version, it is hard to go wrong with this product for those looking for an affordable yet still reliable and high performing enclosure adapter.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a reliable and easy-to-use M.2 SSD enclosure adapter to store and access your important data, then the SSK Aluminum USB 3.2 Gen 1 to M.2 SATA NGFF SSD Enclosure Adapter is definitely worth considering.
