Highlights

Quality

It is easy to use, easy to install, and works great!

The case is extremely well made and it took my about 5 minutes to install my ssd into the case, reformat it, and start using it.

My workflow is entirely occasional data transfer, photo and video editing.

The entire 256gb samsung evo drive, which only had just under 2gb free, copied to the new p5 2tb crucial in less than 15 minutes.

Price

It was inexpensive and has worked perfectly.

I did not pay for this product, but amazon expected me to write an honest review.

It's nothing fancy and seems a bit pricey for what it is, but it has worked reliably for me.

Since it saves me the cost of purchasing another external ssd, it just makes it in my opinion as a good value.

Shipping

Delivers expected data rates with included usb-c to usb-c cable.

Competitiveness

Note: this enclosure - according to the specs and magician - also supports windows trim, compared to other enclosures that don't.

2, and equally as fast as a dedicated thunderbolt ssd drive i have.

Save yourself time and money; just buy the best from startech.

That means, the heat is transferred thru the pcb on the bottom, instead of the chips on the top.
