First use was to create a windows 11 system image from an M2 C: to D: on this device. Now I have this to examine those old SSD SATA and M2 drives without opening the PC case. Works on spin SATA drives as well. Also used to clone a 512GB M2 to a 2TB M2.

So easy to use

Looks nice - nondescript without needless lighting. Very nice aluminum shell with plastic end pieces. USB Type C ensures future connectivity, and allows for greater transfer speeds.


It works! The best thing I can say is that it works at GEN 2 speed, for me. I have this plugged into an GEN 2 Type-c connection on my MB.. The price was right! Cheers!

I was a little leery about buying this, having been burned in times past, but I'm happy to report it does exactly what it says: Makes a true SAS hard drive visible via USB. I tested it under Linux (Kubuntu 24.04 LTS), with an old HP 146GB 2.5" drive, and experimented with both wxHexEditor and the standard Linux partition editor. I was able to, with the hex editor, literally step through every sector/byte on the drive and easily alter or search. This is a Great Thing for file recovery and similar disk forensics. As far as the partition editor goes, I was able to create a standard FAT32 partition on the SAS disk and write/read files on it. Was it the fastest thing on the planet? Of course not. You're going through the overhead of a USB port plus the USB-to-SAS bridge circuitry. But it WORKED!

"Works like a charm" good build and easy on eyes.

2 rubber plugs, a sticky thermal pad and a heat sink came with the casing.
