VisionTek mSATA SSD to USB 3.0 enclosure - 900696

Great idea, but it won't work on all computers. On my dell laptop it keeps disconnecting, and I think it's because of the power consumption of (enclosure+SSD) is too high. On the docking station, and on my thinkpad(s), it is working great...Really like when I reach 160MB/second of transfer rate...

Exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price.

After two months using a Samsung SSD in this enclosure, the device kept ejecting. Tried multiple cables and isolated it to be the connector on the enclosure. Emailed the company VisionTek about a replacement, unfortunately they do not ship to my country. Funny how they sell to my country with no problems but can't provide their advertised 3 year warranty or after sales service to the same country.Will not buy any VisionTek products again after this experience.

I originally bought an msata enclosure off ebay - it worked fine but looked a little unprofessional. I bought this one purely for the looks - but in use it keeps being ejected corrupting files I'm using at the time. I'm using a Samsung 840 1Tb on a late 2013 MBPr 13". Same drive in a different (cheaper) enclosure works flawlessly.

This device only worked consistently mostly with USB2 ports. But when I needed it most with a Dell laptop has only USB3 ports, this Visiontek mSATA kept cycling through ejecting and reconnecting every couple minutes. DO NOT BUY is my recommendation. If this turns out working for you; then you are a lucky one.

I purchased one of these and it arrived today. I put my Crucial M500 480GB mSATA drive in it and after 5 minutes of copying files from the drive to my laptop it reached 82 CELSIUS. It was so hot I had to pick it up with a towel after I canceled the file transfer and unplugged it. I hope this isn't its expected operation but I feel that 82 CELSIUS is absurdly hot. this little enclosure gets hotter than the GeForce GTX 970m in my laptop... and thats a massive GPU!

A bit more expensive than cheaper versions out there. But it has a more recent ASM 1153E chipset and is worked well with my new Samsung 840 EVO 1TB SSD which is a TLC SSD (cheaper enclosures don't work with this). It is nicely designed and robustly built. My only slight complaint is that it got really really hot when I was cloning my old SSD in my laptop to the new one. Probably it was because I was copying 128GB of data. But maybe a design which included a few air vents rather than a completely sealed enclosure keeping the heat inside would have been better. I have now put my old Sandisk U100 128GB SSD and it works fine too.

Super fast. Tried a few enclosures with my Samsung 840 EVO 1TB SSD. This is the best. Bought another for my Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD. Equally impressed with the build quality. Also it looks better in real life than in the photos

Very fast, reporting 376MB/s write and 430MB/s read via usb3 using blackmagic speed test.Gets a little warm but nothing to worry about.Nicely made and feels quite solid.

Very well built and stylish. No real instructions but very self explanitory.I added a crucial m550 256gb msata ssd with windows 8.1 to go installed so I can boot camp my MacBook Pro off this beauty without taking up space on my main 500gb internal ssd. Very fast and works like a charm. Best external case out there.

Great speed, I couldn't believe my eyes!!But it gets really really HOT when coping 20+ GB of data in one go.
