We have other Sabrent readers for drives and SD cards, all work very well and are very affordable.
The only tiny quibble we have is a bit of wiggle room where the USB port attaches to the motherboard where the case has two metal pieces folded over to hold the case on. Some tiny dabs of RTV silicon fixed this problem.
Easy to use, although no real instructions on anything.
Appears to be fairly well made, although there were a couple issues. A minor issue is the USB cable and the stiffness. With the enclosure being so light-weight, it tends to sit at whatever angle the cable forces it at. I would also like a slightly shorter cable personally.
The other issue is in the engineering of the enclosure cable connection. As shown in the attached photo, the male connector does not insert fully into the enclosure, leaving almost a full 1/8 inch of the connector outside. Seems like a minor engineering issue that could have been fixed before production.

This device was the same. I bought this because I had purchased another mSATA to SATA adapter, and it worked fine electrically, but it gave me problems mechanically. It would work loose from time to time and my system would say "no drive present".
So I had high expectations for this purchase, and Sabrent did not disappoint. What a thoughtful design. A cloth strap to help pull the clamshells apart. Screws to firmly hold the mSATA drive inside the housing, and a quality, dimensionally correct housing, and more screws to secure the housing shut. No fighting required to get it together, or to get it to mate with my machine. It's exactly the size and shape of a hard drive, and the housing appears to be good quality powder-coated metal. The screws all mate easily with the screw holes. My only slight sadness is that I wish they had included the four screws that affix the drive to its bracket in my machine. Fortunately I had both saved my old screws and was able to find them.
Lastly, I turned the machine back on and it just worked. No surprise - it's Sabrent. Keep up the good work, guys!
I ended up buying two of them because I was worried about reliability. I tested them out somewhat extensively and both seem to work as advertised. Long term, I'm unsure of how they will hold up, but they seem legit. Hopefully I can address a few complaints that I read in the reviews.
The design is nice and simple, clean, and appears to be machined well. It doesn't have a big, glowing logo on the front of it like some designs, which I'm really happy about. It's TINY. I would prefer a shorter USB cable, but don't mind the one supplied. It's short enough for my needs. Even the tiny LED light is unobtrusive, unlike some items where the LED lights up a dark room.
I'm using it with a Samsung 1TB EVO 850 mSATA drive, with a 2015 13" Macbook Pro. I cloned my internal 1Tb drive to the external one, copying about 650Gb, which took over an hour to complete. That may sound like a long time, at about 180MB/s, but I'll explain that later...
After the drive was cloned, I booted from the external mSATA drive without a problem in both of my enclosure units (just swapped out the SSD).
The enclosure gets hot. Obviously. It's supposed to get hot. That means it's doing it's job properly as a heatsink. With the amount of data I was transferring, I shutter to think how hot the Samsung "T1" drive would get with it's plastic casing. Plastic is an excellent insulator, and aluminum is a much better choice as a heatsink. If anyone is unaware of the Samsung T1, look it up. I was trying to replicate that, except with better components.
The enclosure got too hot to the touch midway through the cloning process. After touching the device for about 5-8 seconds, it became too unbearable to touch. It didn't really burn me, just was painful, and not unlike the heat produced by my spinning mechanical drives.
While it was running at that temperature, copy speeds seemed to be about 150MB/s. I believe this is due to the Samsung 1TB EVO 850 design that intentionally throttles the write / read speed to protect itself. I had read that drives of less capacity in the EVO 850 line perform a lot better because they don't get so hot (something about power management).
Things got interesting when I placed the drive on top of a piece of thin aluminum as an additional heatsink. The drive almost instantly cooled to the point where I could hold it in my hand. After that, copy speed picked up visibly. I'm sure that in a pinch, if you needed to work that drive hard, you could place it on some aluminum foil and that could further dissipate the heat.
For my purposes, I'm using it for data back up when I travel. So all of my media should be backed up and in my pocket at all times, unless of course I'm using the laptop. I always keep the two copies of files in separate places in the event of theft. This little 1TB mSATA drive is going to be AWESOME for that, and fat better than my old LaCie rugged mechanical drives.
If you want to use this as an external boot drive, I'd recommend going with a more traditional format, since these small form factor drives are not really meant to be in an environment without adequate cooling.
If you are like me and you want a tiny little USB drive that can hold 1TB of data that you occasionally need to read and write to, look no further. A Samsung 500GB mSATA SSD may be even better if you don't need the capacity.
That said, it works as advertised, and the only slowness is due to how comparatively slow mSATA SSDs were! It's a small aluminum enclosure, and feels nice in the hand. Only the single USB3 cable needed (comes with it).

Bought it for $22.99. A bit more expensive than other enclosure by Sabrent. I guess because it included the cable. But worth it.
