The TUF Gaming A2 SSD enclosure is an absolute tank of an external enclosure. It is made from a thick and heavy aluminum alloy that looks like it could survive being shot from a cannon into a brick wall. I bought two of these and outfitted each with Silicon Power 4TB US75 NVMe drives. My current setup has a USB 3.0 bottleneck at the USB hub, but these enclosures with the SP drives allow the transfer of large movie files (1GB up to 30GB or more for 4K) in a matter of a few seconds. In short, these enclosures are blazingly fast. My only real complaint is the little plastic, so-called Q-Latch in lieu of an actual set screw. It works, but it's a pain and is much more susceptible to damage than a metal screw. But that's a minor problem where the speed and toughness of these excellent enclosures overshadows any insignificant perceived imperfections. These enclosures are extremely easy to put together (they also accept SATA-style SSDs) and I fully expect them to last for many years.

Good enclosure but misleading advertisement (says 1 month free Adobe Cloud....NOPE!) and the USB cord is garbage. You have to actually buy a good USB4 certified cable to get top speeds.
