ElecGear USB Mini Enclosure for 2230/2242 NVMe and SATA M.2 SSD, PCIe and Serial ATA Aluminum Housing Case with Magnet Cap, 10Gbps Flash Drive Internal Memory Stick Card Reader (NV-2242A)

キャップと本体を固定するために磁石が入っています．キャップをした状態で鉄を近付けても，くっつかないので，素材で防磁していると思われます．2243,2230用なので，とてもコンパクトです．長さだけはなく幅も2280用と比べると小さいです．持った感じ冷っとしますので，素材の放熱性能が良いのでここまでコンパクトにできるのだと思います．固定は，全て金属ネジなので，SSDの入れ替え時に部品破損リスクも少ない．SATA,PCIeの両方に対応しているので，サイズ以外は，気にせず入れ替えられる点も良いです．直挿しタイプなので，PCによっては，スペースの関係や形状違いでケーブルが必要になります．個人的には，Type-A->Type-Cのショートケーブルを一緒に持ち歩こうと思います．

I put a four year old Toshiba nvme 128GB drive into this. Writing a folder of about 60 GB split over multiple files to a linux ext4 partition achieved sustained write speed of around 210 MB/sec. This is quite good performance for this 2242mm drive. The same transfer to the fastest USB stick I have, Intenso High Speed, achieves 60 MB/S, Samsbung USB 3.1 BAR is <40MB. So the NVMVe drive is much faster and of course much more robust.in linux, `sudo smartctl -d sat,12` provides SMART data for the drive.

Compré 3, porque estaba reemplazando discos duros de unos equipos por mayor capacidad; y pensé en usar los sobrantes como memorias externas con éste encloser.Cuando lo conectas funciona bien y es muy rápido. Desafortunadamente se calienta demasiado, al punto de dejar de funcionar. Tienes que esperar 10 minutos a que se enfríe y volver a conectarlo a la computadora.Esto pasa casi cada hora con un uso moderado, incluso usando los pads térmicos que incluye. Con los 3 que compré pasa lo mismo, así que no es un caso aislado; debí haber probado uno por uno.Mala compra.

One of a kind, supporting NVME and NGFF (SATA) 2242 and 2230. I have plenty of 2280 enclosures, but I wanted to transform my extra 2242 into a portable flash drive which is a lot more durable than the flash drives available.The heat dissipation is.... mediocre. Despite having an all aluminum casing and has internal thermal pads included, transferring 150GB to my 512GB SATA 2242, caused it to overheat after reaching 100GB mark. Then it went from 380mb/s to 40-60mb/s as it struggled to keep the heat down.The enclosure's price is at a premium, but one of a kind product, dual support for NVME and SATA. It is solidly built, full aluminum and plenty of thermal pads included. You can have your best flash drive you can over own. Even with the price of the enclosure, it beats Sandisk's Extreme Pro Solid State Flash drive at price point per GB. 2242 2TB nvme is at about 200 and this enclosure is 40, that's 240 for 2TB. Or 1TB 2242 nvme is at 90 + enclosure 40 = 130 for 1TB. And if you don't want to use is as a thumb drive anymore, the drive can be converted back into internal storage. Vice versa.

Bought this after I bought a Sabrent 512GB Rocket 2242 NVMe SSD for a laptop but later on ended up not needing it. This enclosure makes for a great little portable SSD that ends up being quite a bit smaller than most other portable SSDs out there currently. Construction quality is fantastic being all metal. The SSD installation is straight-forward enough and so far it's been working great! Speeds will obviously differ depending on the SSD you use, but for me I got close-enough to the speeds the Sabrent drive is advertised for so I suspect the controller could handle much higher speeds with a more high-end SSD installed. Only word of warning is to make sure to install the included heat pad as at least in my case when transferring large files the enclosure can get a little hot. It's nothing you would end up burning yourself on, but it's clear the enclosure is also acting as a heatsink for the SSD. If you ended up using it as a portable bootable Linux or Windows drive I would imagine it could get a litter hotter with constant I/O. In any case it's a great inclosure if you have any extra 2242 SSDs laying around or if you really want to build your own portable USB SSD!
