  • PositiveVery reasonable price
  • Positivealmost the full 10 Gbit/s bandwidth in practice
  • PositiveHigh-quality, ribbed aluminium casing with adequate passive cooling
  • PositiveTool-free installation; supports all M.2 lengths from 2230 to 2280
  • NegativeThe plastic insert is stuck, squeaks and smells of chemicals
  • NegativeSecuring the SSD with rubber straps is a bit fiddly

The Digitus DA-71120-1 was tested and performed well: the aluminium casing is neatly finished and its speed is close to the theoretical limit of USB 3.1 Gen 2. Its weaknesses lie in the fiddly plastic slot and its mediocre build quality. If you can live with that and are simply looking for an affordable enclosure for an existing M.2 NVMe SSD, you’ll get good value for money at around 14 euros.

This test report belongs to a different type: DA-71120-1 (M.2)
