    Customers are mixed about the heat of the hard drive enclosure. Some like that it has thermal pads to pull heat away from the SSD, and it doesn't get hot to the touch.

    Customers have negative opinions about the lid of the hard drive enclosure. They mention that it's hard to close, and the top panel doesn't line up properly. The case keeps opening up, and you can't easily open the device without removing the rubber rail around it. The plate does not fully latch when SSD is installed, and there's a very small space for the lid to close with.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great product
    Reviewed in Canada on September 7, 2023
    Received in 1 day with regular prime so I'm really happy with the speedy delivery. It's has a bit of heft to it and is made of aluminum. I installed a 1tb Samsung 980 NVMe M.2 in mine. The product went together in a matter of seconds. You must pay attention to the instructions. The thumb screw has a groove in it that fits into the notch for screwing it down. If you don't do this, the thumb screw will stick up too high and prevent the cover from closing. See my included images for help understanding this important aspect. It warms up when in use depending upon how hard the M2 drive is working. Running a movie from it or copying a very large file will heat things up far more than moving 1 or 2 pictures on or off it. The RGB light is fun. It will require you update a driver using Armoury crate software. Click the bell icon on the bottom left corner of the apps gui to find the update. Then you can go to Aura sync to manage the lighting effects. It sometimes doesn't detect in Aura sync after a reconnect so rescanning in devices/addressable headers will help find it again. These are the things I figured out to have everything work right. Hope this helps you. I recommend this enclosure hands down.
