Lexar E750 40Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, Tool Free Installation Compatible with Thunderbolt 4/3/USB4/3.2/3.1/3.0/2.0, Expand MacBook and Mac mini, Up to 8TB Support M Key 2230/2242/2260/2280 SSD Size

The Lexar E750 is a premium NVMe enclosure with a solid metal build and a unique cloth-textured lid that feels great in hand. It supports USB 4 and is backward compatible with USB 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, and 2.0, so it works with just about everything.It’s fanless, so it runs silently, and Lexar clearly put thought into cooling. It includes three silicone thermal pads (2x 1mm, 1x 0.5mm) to help with heat dissipation—for both the NVMe and the internal chipset. That said, I do wonder how the chipset is cooled—is it making contact with the metal case? I wish I had a second unit to fully disassemble and find out.Toolless access is a great touch, though a bit tricky to open if you have short fingernails. The included soft case is nice, and overall the enclosure feels very high-end. I’m a little unsure how long the cloth-textured surface will hold up at the edges, but time will tell.I didn’t have a Lexar NVMe to test performance, but from design alone, this enclosure is impressive and well thought out.

I misplaced a part for my previous USB4 SSD Enclosure and decided to purchase this item that I didn’t expect to exist. It arrived quickly and setup was an absolute breeze once I realized how to open it (there’s a lip on the bottom edge of the fabric wrapped cover that you just lift straight up)Pros:It’s fast easily reaching advertised speeds with my WD Black 8TB PCIE Gen 4 NVME drive of 3500MBps+ read writes.It’s stable so far, although haven’t used it much yet.The form factor is nice and thin.Heat dissipates well even with the silicon case on the back.It is mostly metal with some nice fabric accents.It accommodates all of the NVME M.2 SSD sizes even all the way up to an 8TB 2280.It even included extra parts that I lost for my previous enclosure bringing new life to it as well.Cons:It’s a little bit heavy but given the materials it doesn’t bother me much.The “leather” loop may break easier than a solid designed loop.No real track record with a product like this from Lexar yet but they do have a good track record with their other storage products so hopefully this one is safe and fine too.Can’t really tell if it has a built in capacitor to more safely handle sudden usb disconnects.Overall initial impressions are quite great and as long as it lasts a long time like I hope it will I’m sure this will be one of my top recommendations for this category.

The outside is impressive but the funky little rubber screws are nearly impossible to insert. Sad to say I’ll have to use something like the case from OWC. It uses a metal screws and Thunderbolt output

I paired this with the Samsung 990 Pro 4TB model and am getting just as fast as you can with these external drives. Definitely hit the speeds advertised by Lexar. It has a luxury feel as well and it adds to the entire experience and am happy so far with everything.NOTE: To get the full speeds in Windows, you need to go to Device Manager, then expand Disk Drives, then right click on the external SSD and choose Properties, then Policies, under Removal Policy choose Better Performance, then under Write-caching Policy choose Enable write caching on the device. After you do that, you'll unlock the full speed. HOWEVER, you will need to ALWAYS safely eject and remove the drive, or else you can lose data.

Ordered this enclosure and had an issue, contacted Lexar customer service and they went out of their way to make sure that I was satisfied. 5 stars for customer support!

Works really well, fast speed. Gets kinda hot though. Overall 10/10 recommend.
