What we love

I’ve been using enclosures like this to craft my own user-upgradeable SSDs for years now. While one can certainly argue that it’s easier to pick up a fully-assembled external SSD from a well-known manufacturer, you’ll always be stuck with it, but this unit allows you to tinker and swap drives whenever you want.
