Sabrent Rocket SATA/NVMe SSD Enclosure for $29.99
The Sabret Rocket enclosure is a great solution for any internal SATA and M.2 SSDs you might not be using anymore. It effectively turns them into a speedy external drive that you can use as extra local storage for your PC or gaming console like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. You can also use it like a portable flash drive to transfer files from one USB supported device to another, since it's completely powered off USB and doesn't require a separate power brick.
The enclosure is equipped with a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface that boasts theoretical speeds of up to 20Gbps or 2,500MBps. Of course, actual speeds depends on the performance of the installed SSD. It supports UASP and TRIM, and is backward compatible with legacy 5Gbps and 10Gbps ports. It works out of the box with Windows, macOS and Linux with no additional drivers required for easy plug and play access. The shell is constructed out of aluminum, which acts as a heatsink since it comes in contact with the SSD via a thermal interface pad. It also has RGB lighting for a little extra bling.
