USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-Free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA SSDs (EC-SNVE)

First and foremost, it works as advertised! Just plug an M2 SSD in, close the door, connect to computer, use windows Disk Management tool, configure the SSD, DONE. Afterwards, it shows as an external drive. It's got an external aluminum body which makes it sturdy and works as a heat sink. As such, it gets warm to the touch which is to be expected. It's about 4-5/8" (11.7 cm) long and 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) width and 1/2" (1.2 cm) thick, so it's very small and portable, and so MUCH more convenient than a common USB memory stick. It comes with a small USB-C to USB-C cable. Tested on my HP laptop with USB 3, I get 523 MB/s sequential read speed 192 MB/s write. This of course depends on so many things that it's only useful to show that it works fast. Your conditions can be much better or much worse. Be sure to use a USB 3 port for maximum speed.

This is my second purchase of this exact enclosure. Works like a charm. I have a 4 TB NVMe in the original for 4 years now and still works perfectly. Yes it costs a little more than many other brands. I do feel it is a little too high but still bought it because I know the quality already. It will take any M.2 form factor up to 2280 or NVMe or Sata in the same form factor. No tools needed for quick change out of the drive. It's PCIe 4 so reasonably fast transferring large files. i been buying Sabrent Drives & other products since back when not many parties trusted them. Never had a single problem with anything. I will say they don't always get my money now simply because their prices have been pretty high.

Easy to use, works as advertised. I used it w a 2280 m.2, so don’t know how well it would take a smaller one. It works well, and keeps the ssd from over heating. I used it to clone a system disk. Didn’t measure speed, but it wasn’t slow. I would buy it again.

Works like a charm for everything i need! Popped a 2TB WD Nvme and although my computers dont have USB4 ports, Im still getting literally 4x the speeds i was getting with my old Passport eHDD. It was even plug n play with my iPhone 16 Pro Max so I can record apple prores/log video! Phone automatically detects the SSD and allows you to record RAW video straight to the drive and transfers 2GB/sec which is insane to me. I cant imagine i'll need anything faster for quite some time. The fan is not silent of course, but overall for what it is, its compact, portable and FAST

Perfect Tool-Free Solution for Expanding Boot Storage – No Heat Hassle, Just Works I needed more space on my boot drive, but my motherboard only has one M.2 PCIe NVMe slot. So I replace it with a 1TB NVMe. The SABRENT EC-SNVE aluminum USB 3.2 Type-C enclosure was exactly what I wanted — no thermal pads, tape, or paste to fuss with. Unboxing & Setup (5/5): The hardest part? Peeling off the plastic wrap — seriously. The tool-free design is brilliant: slide open the aluminum shell, drop in the M.2 (NVMe or SATA), lock the clip, slide it shut. Done in under 30 seconds. No screws, no thermal goo, no guessing. Performance & Build: Connected via USB-C and immediately hit ~1000 MB/s read/write (matching my internal NVMe speeds). The brushed aluminum body acts as a heatsink — stays warm but never hot, even during large file transfers or cloning. Feels premium, not cheap plastic. Cloning & Repurposing: Used Macrium Reflect to clone my 500GB boot drive to a 1TB NVMe, expanded the partition, then swapped them. System booted without issue. Why This Over Others? Truly tool-free • Aluminum = better heat dissipation • Supports both NVMe AND SATA M.2 • USB 3.2 Gen 2 = full 10Gbps • Worth every penny. If you want a no-drama, high-quality enclosure that just works — buy this one. Highly recommended for anyone repurposing internal NVMe or SATA M.2 or building fast external storage.

Quite sturdy and easy to setup. I've had one of these with an installed M.2 drive in my cluttered backpack for a good year and a half, and it's stood up flawlessly. It's nice not having to worry it'll break with rough usage or storage, I ended up getting another. Looks cool too

This enclosure is perfect. I put a 2TB SSD in it and I use it to store Steam games and photos/videos/documents/etc. I've used it everyday for 4 months and have had no issues. Very easy to use, takes up very little space, makes no noise, data transfer is very fast. It gets warm, but doesn't get too hot. If you need an SSD enclosure, this is the one you should buy. It's perfect.
