M.2 NVMe & SATA to USB C Docking Station, M.2 SSD to USB A C Reader Adapter for Both M Key & B+M Key NVMe PCIE and SATA NGFF SSD Dock, Size for 22110 2280 2260 2242 2230 RGB Light Enclosure

I enjoy working on PCs. I have a lot of m.2 around this Save so much time just plucking it into your PC laptop, to asses your M.2 drives in it You can set them up using them for storage erase them. This works great for me. I’d recommend for anyone.

On Windows 11 it required no driver install. Clicking in an SSD and I was accessing the drive in seconds. I opt to unplug the dock before adding or removing drives but I am uncertain if it is required, it just seems safer that way. The pressure required to seat the drive is fairly high but it assures a good connection. Drives stand straight up so convection cooling is decent. Under heavy load, like a full drive erasure, drives generate enough heat to cause thermal throttle so I use a tiny 30mm USB fan to bring temps back down to nominal. Tested with SATA and NVMe drives and speeds were maxed for SATA and I was able to do about 850Mbps read and 750Mbps write on a 970 EVO Plus. My other dock can push about 10% higher throughput but it requires external power so it is not as convenient and it cost 8x as much.

After using the Sabrent M.2 SSD enclosure for several years, the enclosure gets very hot. Additionally, no matter what drive you put in the Sabrent enclosure such as Samsung 980, Intel 660P or Western Digital 850X they all show as "Sabrent". This becomes a real issue as you cannot use any of the proprietary software that comes with each of these drives such as Western Digital Dashboard, Samsung Magician or the Solidigm Software for Intel drives.Well, see the attached 3 images..not only does the Pilot show the correct drive as well as the Western Digital Dashboard but this drive has a Heat Sink. Additionally, the drive is running nice n cool at 104 degrees Fahrenheit unlike the Sabrent which is an enclosed oven and almost too hot to touch. Also the Sabrent does not allow for drives with a Heat Sink attached. My only issue with the AMZ Pilot is that I am unable to update the firmware with this docking station. I've tried installing the firmware file and the auto update procedure, both failed. WD support is sending a knowledge base article to get around this specific issue. Overall, very pleased..Sabrent has some homework to do.

This is hot swappable and works well just be aware sometime it may not read the drive and you have to disconnect and leave it along for a little then it will ready and doesn't happen alot but does happen the one moth I've had it, it only did that twice. Other than that it was a great price for what I needed it for love the LED lights and a bit heavy so you know its a good quality. Recommend this product.

Unit appears excellent. Nice colors, small, non slip bottom. Was very happy upon initial look thought it would be 4 starThen this little annoying thing happened. Windows refused to install it and device manager complained had unrecognized hardware description id.Tried 3 different usb ports, 4 different SSDs and 2 pcsThis thing was a 6 hour waste of my time. Now i have to spend more time returning it and another 2 days waiting for replacementHow hard would it have been for them to test it before shipping itComplete turd

Nice little device that does exactly what it says. As stated, it's not hot-swappable (future enhancement?), but it still makes changing drives extremely easy, and it works for both SATA and PCIe drives.

Great price and it works!

I have already transferred the data from two hard drives to two M.2 and it has worked 100%
