ASUS ROG STRIX Arion Aluminum Alloy M.2 NVMe SSD External Portable Enclosure Case Adapter (verified owner) –
Good design, works wellUpdate Oct 2021: At first, I thought it was a driver issue with Windows 11, but no i think the enclosure has gone bad. This drive has been causing my system to freeze up and I keep getting Blue Screen errors since the OS update. I tried multiple working NVMe drives, a Samsung 960Evo and and Kingston A2000. I even tried it on Linux, drive still freezes and causes kernel panic. Lasted less than a year. I'll try to RMA it with Asus.
Original Review April 2021: I like the design, and assembly is easy enough. Full body aluminum should work well for heat dissipation. Works well, transfers are pretty fast as you'd expect. I didn't do speed tests, because i frankly couldn't care enough.
One odd thing i noticed was about the included cables. The USB-C to A cable is labeled as USB 3.0 (so USB 3.2 Gen 1), and the USB C to C is USB 3.1 (USB 3.2 Gen 2). The enclosure is rated as USB 3.2 Gen 2, so I would assume the included cable should have the same rating. I haven't gotten around to testing if it actually makes any difference, but theoretically Gen 1 is half the speed of Gen 2. Maybe I'll do it eventually and then update this review.
A sim ejector like tool for opening the case would not have been my first choice. It is easy to lose and you'll be left looking for one down the line if you need to change out the drives.

Sleek looking and tough at the same timeSolid product, worked like a charm for me. Cloned my 250 gb sdd to a 1 tb verbatim SSD and booted up my higher capacity laptop without issue. Didn't heat up much either during the procedure which is good. People should know however that this case has issues with the crucial p5 sdd, so if u have one of those don't buy this. I'll keep my 250 GB western digital safe somewhere as backup and purchase another SSD to use with this enclosure for regular file transfer. Happy customer here 🙂

DISCLAIMER:This is just a seller(Klick Technology) rating not product....sorryPLEASE CHECK THE SELLER NAME BEFORE BUYING.
DON'T BUY THIS FROM KICK TECHNOLOGY.
I received an opened package with craft taped. Quick release pin and cables were missing so I returned it(since I didn't get an option to replace it🙄).
Then I bought this on MD Computers' website.
Product is pretty great. Used this with Crucial P5 plus SSD for my video editing work (Premiere Pro & After Effects). Works great with my STRIX G17 laptop.

Needs a proper screw!!!Package came intact with a seal on the box.
Very well designed and full metal body construction. Thermal pads provided inside the case. Comes with high data transfer USB C/ A cables. A edge protector 'rubber case' for the CASE provided and an R-Clip to attach the unit to your laptop bag (perhaps). Accessing inside the case is also made easy with a pin push to open type arrangement.
The propriety screw provided was not well designed. When the SSD biscuit is inserted inside and the screw tightened, the case would not close. After investigation found that the screw head was unnecessarily big causing the problem…Had to find another screw and jerry rig the connection to make it work!!!
***Update: All is good with the screw the ssd biscuit sits in the screw notch provided (see attached pics).
After 2 hrs of continuous gaming and 200 GB's of data transfer the SSD temps were below the 45 Deg C mark which is really good. I got a healthy data transfer rate of 550 GBps on my WD 1TB SSD which is sufficient for gaming.
Verdict : A bit expensive for what you are getting here. Only would recommend if you are a Tech enthusiast, own Asus products or simply like all things RGB….

Durable and compact and love the RGBHeats up quick but so far no drop in the read or write speed provided you use good short type C cable.
Aluminium casing make it light weight and looks perfect with that Matt finish black

Sleek, Fast, and Reliable!The aluminum alloy build feels premium, keeps the drive cool, and the RGB lighting adds style. Setup is tool-free and simple, and the USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ensures blazing-fast speeds—perfect for large file transfers.
A bit pricey, but the quality and performance make it worth it. Highly recommended for anyone needing a durable and stylish SSD enclosure!

Great product!Absolute value for the money. Easy to use and operate with the Asus appeal and quality. Extremely durable and built with upmost protection in mind. Transfer speeds have exceeded all my expectations and works well with my Samsung EVO 1TB SSD. My only complaint is my laptop doesn't like to eject it before unplugging it, but havnt had an issue with that using any other computer, nor have I had an issue with corrupted data.
