For the past year we have been using this once a month with a 16TB drive to replace tape drive backups of an Ubuntu server - takes less than 10 hours to write almost 4.5 TB over a USB 3.0 connection (one drive holds 3 monthly backups). No issues yet.

- Needed 36TB storage pool created from 2x18TB spanned disk array - Easy to setup and format as "one large partition" with MiniTool Partition Wizard

I just barely bought it and plugged in my 4 software raided hard drives and my OS (Ubuntu) mounted them immediately and I had full access to everything I had set up before. The unit feels pretty sturdy and the cooling seems effective. If something happens down the road I'll update this review. This has HDMI built in. I imagine it would work if I had used the built in hardware/software raid (whatever it is) for playing media directly to a screen. I don't plan on using that feature so I can't review it.


- quality build - easy to assemble with all required screws, screw driver, and high end cable - each device can loop through to another

In stock at Newegg for an emergency BU on iMac (will call), Vantec's customer service was outstanding.

-Easy to setup. -Great quality. -Great price.

easy to setup and use. work as you'd expect

Works with USB 3.1 Type A and Type C ports. Extremely fast transfer rates when connected to a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port. Heat sink works well to dissipate heat from the NVMe. Very easy to assemble.


I've used this with 3 different m.2 SSDs now with acronis software to update the system drive to faster and larger drives. Cloning works very well and so does this device.

Plug and play, no setup and works a treat! Can't beat the price, fast delivery and got my pile o'hard drives back.



Works good so far. Love the rubber case incase it drops. Like the concept of the screw less design.



Just works. Comes with clear instructions (once you read the correct side) and feels fairly durable. The lights for the % done is bright enough and clear.

Product was super simple to install my card into, and it worked! A different type I bought earlier did not work for my m.2 card. After spending much time trying to get something that said it would work for my card given tooth plug-in gaps and blah, blah, blah (you've probably done the same). I had wanted to upgrade my micro CPU OS m.2, but with only the one slot on my tiny board...HOW? You need one of these types of External Adapters! But, you also need the right one! DOH! So, I ordered this model and BOOM, it recognized right off the bat! (where the other was more picky.) Yeah, it cost a few bucks more that the other, but...you gotta have what works. I like having the two different port connectors, one on each end (USB 3.x/USB C).

Nice and small
