In reply to Ben J. Cheapest you can find. Just be sure that it is NVME SSD. Both PCI x2 and x4 NVME SSD would work in this enclosure with equal speed. Even Intel SSD 660P should work. You can take something faster(like XPG 6000 or 6200, Kingston A1000) or even the fastest(HP 920, XPG 8200) if you plan to move it to your PC or laptop in future, but the max speed through USB 3.1 would be the same: 1GB/s.

In reply to Deil. Well, this enclosure is for M2 NVME SSD. For M2 SATA SSD there are a lot of other, older and cheaper USB enclosures on market. But SATA speed limit is about 500MB/s. Usually SATA ans NVME SSD are not interchangeable in slot, and SATA SSD surely would not work in reviewed enclosure. *I also use my old NVME SSD from my laptop in alike enclosure.

This would also be useful for cloning an M.2 boot drive before replacing the current boot drive. I use SATA-USB enclosures for this purpose, so I’m glad this M.2 NVMe enclosure exists.

In reply to Ben J. I bought laptop with quite weak m.2 SATA ssd. They seems standard, even in good laptops. It seems like a solid choice to insert that 2TB as boot drive and make laptop one external, whatever it was. enclosure limits 1/1 so this m.2 is solid overkill

What sort of SSD would you recommend for this enclosure then?
