Not bad, but a DIY solution (Nvme drive in a compact enclosure) is still better. You can plug it in and out of the computer via USB ten times a day without fear of wearing out the connector on your precious drive due to excess mating cycles. Because when the connector on the enclosure wears out you simply ditch the $20-30 enclosure and get another one. On the other hand if you wear the port out on one of these integrated solutions, it's presumably a soldering/repair job. Also, when a newer USB standard comes out, you can likewise simply ditch your current Nvme enclosure and get a new one, for a cheap and effective speed upgrade.
