I got this after retiring my old boot-drive to re-purpose it as an external drive. Depending on what cabel i use the drive doesnt seem to get enough power to remain on but ive had the most sucess with type-c to type-c cabels with no dongles in-between as for the durability of the unit- i feel comfortable to hammer a nail into place with it. Its a tank and i feel safe throwing it into my bag.Despite what it may seem like the notch in the top isnt some sort of carabiner. And while i dont own any to test i would imagine its too narrow for one.Onto instalation: its fairly easy to install a full length NVMe SSD and i would imagine it wouldnt be difficult to install shorter drives. Though i do take issue with their choce of hex key screw as most enthusiests dont have a proper screwdriver for those as they arent really used in PCs. I cant recall if it came with a tool for it either but quickly reviewing the asymbly video on their youtube channel reveals they are using those awful L shaped wrenches for them so if it did come with a tool it was probably that.As for speed: its obviously being bottlenecked by USB transfer rates but this results in faster random reads and writes than your average external drive or thumbdrive. (You can even game off of it lol) that being said this speed comes at a cost and that cost is heat. Luckily the whole enclosue is one big heat spreader so it should stay cool enough to mantain decent speeds and not fry. Though i have not run extended stress tests on mine to verify this.

First things first, yes these are not cheap but you get what you pay for. I have a Sabrent enclosure but it kept disconnecting from my device for no good reason. I needed something that wouldn’t disconnect and after much research came across the Asus enclosures and checked out multiple reviews, videos, etc.I purchased the Rog Strion first, then Tuf.Rog: I purchased this specifically because it had the C to A cable as well (the good vendors dont just sell them and there’s a bunch of junk that won’t do data properly). It is nice and fairly light for the material. The installation went smoothly (after I paid attention to how the top comes off and goes back). The lights are cool but my use case has it out of the way. The speed is great and no strange disconnects. I do have cooling fans in my little set up (multiple devices) so I can’t speak to it getting hot. Hopefully this will last forever.Tuf: I needed C to A for my first use (why I got Rog), but really wanted this. When it came on sale (along with the Crucial storage) I grabbed it for portable storage. This thing is heavy duty. Solid aluminum throughout. Installation was a breeze. Only time will tell, but from what I’ve seen this should keep working forever.I don’t plan on beating the crap out them so I may switch them around. Depends on how much I wanna see pretty lights.

I primarily use this for storing my games and other files so that I can use it like a USB stick on-the-go. This enclosure is definitely worth the money and will more than likely protect your fragile NVMe drive from getting crushed in a backpack, destroyed from getting dropped, or even prevent the NVMe from liquid spills (no guarantee for this if you drop this in a pool). This is a sturdy enclosure and can provide you with great speeds if your USB-C port is able to provide those speeds. Your mileage will vary depending on your computer components and you may get either slower or higher speeds than other people based on the hardware you're connecting it to. Just be sure to not lose the hex key this enclosure comes with. Overall, I am satisfied with the speed and functionality of this enclosure and I may consider getting another one if I am ever in need of one.

I had an old HD which I used as external drive for working with my files. It started giving me probemss so I decided to move all info to an SSD with the corrresponding enclosure. This one has been so far very useful. I have no worries my SSD would be damaged and has a good weight. Transfer speed is good enough, especially with the provided cable. Definitely reccomend.

The enclosure feels very durable to me, it was very easy to install my 500GB NVMe in after using the included alan wrench. I saw speeds up to 1000MB in both read and write, copying large files over to it from my desktop computer and then transfer them to my laptop was fast both times.While it worked great at what it does, the one thing that I notice very quickly is it gets hot to the touch. i would say about 10mins give or take and the enclosure is hot. I had to leave it sitting til it cooled off before I put it into my laptop bag.

Easy to use. Seems very sturdy with its weight and metal design. Came with a cable.

TL;DR - This thing is built like a TANK, it’s easy to install the SSD, it’s USB 3.2 fast, don’t think about it, this is the enclosure for you.Okay so this thing is built like a brick s*** house. It’s so heavy I weighed it and it clocked in at 5.5oz (for reference an iPhone 14 Pro weighs 7.27oz). I never review products on Amazon but I was so blown away by this thing, I’m gonna buy 3 more. Do I need them? No. Do I WANT more heavy objects that can hold 8TB of speedy data? Yes siiiirrr!This thing feels like the data drive you would secure in a Call of Duty mission, for real. This thing could honestly be used as a weapon so maybe don’t give it to your kid or whatever. I swear, this thing is gonna outlive me the way it’s built.Anyway, it’s really nice, well priced for the way it feels and performs and I don’t know why you would ever buy the ROG version over this one or any other enclosure for that matter.Actually, one thing to note, if you’re planning on swapping drives in and out of your enclosure regularly, you do have to unscrew 4 screws with an allen wrench to open this one up, so this may not be for you if you’re doing that. But if you plan to drop the drive in and seal it up for life, it’s an easy number one pick.

La sensación que te dan los materiales es de lo mejor, la velocidad de transferencia (aunque depende del SSD que elijas) es excelente, claro que se calienta pero ser un completo de cuerpo de aluminio es perfecto para disipar mucho calor.
