M.2 NVME USB 3.1 Adapter, M-Key M.2 NVME to USB Card Reader USB 3.1 Gen 2 Bridge Chip with 10 Gbps High Performance, Compatible with Samsung 950/960/970 Evo/Pro or Other M.2 SSDs with PCI-E Type

I used this product to clone my 500G SSD to a 1TB Crucial P310 Gen4 NVMe 2280 M.2 SSD card. I used the free version of Macrium/Reflect cloning software and Minitool partition extend software. All went smoothly.

Used this adapter to clone a large number of different brands of NVME M.2 drives, performed with zero problems. Great speed through a USB 3.1 laptop port. Easy to use, but electronically delicate and it is a bare PCB unit so more intended for use in a technical environment and stored back in its ESD bag. Not meant to be a portable SSD enclosure.It is not flimsy as others have described. It is as rigid as any other PCB board. Comes with SSD screw and mini screw driver, but likely you would already have the appropriate P20 or similar screwdriver for this type of use.

Did what it was supposed to. It let me format an m.2 without having to open my pc. There is no way to secure an m.2 smaller than a 2280. the piece they include doesn't attach to the board.

Used this to upgrade my PC's SSD to a larger one. Was easily recognized by my windows 11 and took less than an hour to image my drive through the USB 3.1.The only issue I had is that I think there was some sort of RF interference with my logitech keyboard dongle in the neighboring USB slot as my mouse would quit working intermittently during use.Also, it ran a little hot. I kept a small fan on it while I was cloning my drive just to be safe.Otherwise worked great and I'll be using it in the future to back up data.

Just what you might need to read an M.2 memory stick outside of the motherboard. USB connection is immediate in both Win 10 and 11.

Light would flash blue and it would appear intermittently in my SSD's software on the screen but would disappear within a second. If it actually would pop up then I'd be able to clone but the adapter did not work.

Like:Works perfectly and was easy to mount onto my motherboard - PRIME-B450M-A-II-ASUS.Used Microsoft mbr2gpt.exe to convert so it now is fully UEFI (and Win11) compatible without any issue or losing any data.FYI:As it is my Root Drive, I had to pre-mount on a USB 3 adapter to format and install OS. The adapter had issue with its M2 mounting screw, so I had to use rubber band to hold M2 during the work. Worried me a bit.

Though it might've worked with other SSDs, It never worked for my Samsung Evo 980 Pro. My window 11 would recognize the device but it will fail to initialize it. I looked up online to look into the issue if it was related to my SSD or actual hardware, it seems like this enclosure doesn't support my SSD.
