    ASUS ROG STRIX ARION I recommend

    Hello,
    After buying the external case ASUS ROG STRIX ARION that I use with a Samsung SSD 990 PRO M.2 PCIe NVME 1Tb which heats very little, I am conquered with its metal finish, its small LEDs and also its rubber protection around the case that I recommend to everyone to buy with eyes closed.

    Excellent product

    I'm using it as storage, having recovered an SSD from an old PC and it's USB-C and A compatible with the cables supplied.

    Great product.

    It's all in the title.
    Very easy to use. We can't recommend this external box highly enough.
    Coupled with a high-performance SSD, it's a marvel.
