Except I hadn't set it up right.
I found a youtube video of someone using an ssd to usb enclosure and realized that I had NOT seated the SSD correctly. They have to be put in at an angle, NOT straight in. When I tried that, it seated into place and I reassembled the device.
While we are at it, I have read comments about the absurd little screws that you have to work with on this stuff. True enough. Thank goodness I took someone's advice and got really good screwdrivers for this and the disassembly of my laptop to swap the SSD. I bought the Wiha 26190 Slotted and Phillips Screwdriver Set Bonus Pack with Professional 6.3" Long Nose Pliers, 8 Piece here at Amazon. I highly recommend them. I assembled and disassembled this bugger four or five times and the ONLY thing that wasn't a problem was the screws, thanks to those great Wiha screwdrivers.
Oh, and one other thing I learned. I plugged this into the USB and saw the light, heard the windows ding of a new connection but didn't see a drive show up. I ran the Samsung migration software on my laptop and there it was! So the SSD in the USB enclosure didn't show up in windows but the migration software recognized it. Just thought I would pass that on.Twenty minutes later and I had successfully cloned by SSD.
I know all of this is obvious to people who do this kind of stuff regularly. I often read these reviews for tips on how to use the stuff I am buying and I offer this to folks like me.
4 starts (1 deducted for nearly useless instructions)
1) It does exactly what I expected. I installed the Samsung PM851 M.2 drive that I pulled out of my 2015 Dell XPS 13, connected it to the Dell's USB 3.0 port, and was able to use it as an external drive without issue.
2) I formatted the partitions, and did some test file copies. With large numbers of smaller files, it's quite slow: 397 KB/s. That's brutal. Thankfully, with larger files (100+ MB video files and the like), it's quite fast, bouncing around at over 200 MB/s (I saw it hit 237 MB/s at peak). On a mixed batch of files, you'll likely see speeds in the 150 MB/s range. I'm not sure what kind of M.2 drive they used to get the 500+ MB/s read and 300+ MB/s write speeds shown on the product page.
2) It was easy to open up and install the M.2 drive into. Immediate recognition of the drive with Windows 10.
3) I copied 51,303 files over to it (144 GB of data) and there were no errors or glitches.
A few negatives:
1) During large copy jobs, it gets so hot you almost can't hold it. I worry a little about longevity of my M.2 drive in there. The metal case is a giant heat sink, so that helps.
2) I'd have preferred an "in use" indicator less ostentatious than a blinking ZTC logo, but thankfully they placed it on the bottom so you if placed on a flat surface you only see a slight blinking. A simple blue LED near the cable port would work just as well.
3) The cable is quite short - maybe six inches? I use my laptop up on a stand, so the cable isn't long enough and the drive rest with one end hanging in the air. For most people this cable length will work though.
All in all, it's what I wanted and it sells for a fair price. A good purchase.

Specifically, I couldn't figure out how to get the SSD to fit in the slot on the provided circuit board. The instructions didn't say anything so I thought I had to push it straight in, as the slot in my dead laptop I salvaged it from worked that way. It seemed to almost fit, but didn't want to slide in no matter how hard I pushed, wiggled, angled, etc. I was about to give up and buy another product when I tried one last thing: I lifted the back of the card such that it was sloping downward at a very steep angle. The front pins now fit, but when I let go the back still hung awkwardly in the air. I carefully pressed down and screwed the back in place, it held, slid perfectly into the enclosure, and I was able to access my data just fine. But this REALLY needs some better instructions!
