Great. I was able to use older drives as storage. No need for the expensive external ssd.

ASUS Knocked It Out of the Park with This One

I wasn’t expecting to be this impressed by an SSD enclosure, but the ASUS ESD-S1C/BLK genuinely surprised me. It’s sleek, sturdy, and incredibly easy to use. The aluminum alloy casing feels premium and does a great job keeping things cool — especially with the included thermal pads. No overheating, no throttling, just smooth performance.
The tool-free design is a game changer. I had my M.2 NVMe SSD installed in minutes without reaching for a screwdriver. Plus, the included USB-C to C and USB-C to A cables make it super versatile across devices — laptops, desktops, even gaming consoles.
And yes, it looks awesome. The Aura Sync lighting adds a subtle but stylish touch that makes it stand out without being over the top. It’s the kind of gear that feels like it belongs in a high-end setup.
Whether you’re transferring files, backing up data, or just want a fast, reliable external drive, this enclosure delivers. ASUS really nailed the balance between form and function here.
Highly recommended.
