Lexar E750 40Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, Compatible with Thunderbolt 4

I misplaced a part for my previous USB4 SSD Enclosure and decided to purchase this item that I didn’t expect to exist. It arrived quickly and setup was an absolute breeze once I realized how to open it (there’s a lip on the bottom edge of the fabric wrapped cover that you just lift straight up) Pros: It’s fast easily reaching advertised speeds with my WD Black 8TB PCIE Gen 4 NVME drive of 3500MBps+ read writes. It’s stable so far, although haven’t used it much yet. The form factor is nice and thin. Heat dissipates well even with the silicon case on the back. It is mostly metal with some nice fabric accents. It accommodates all of the NVME M.2 SSD sizes even all the way up to an 8TB 2280. It even included extra parts that I lost for my previous enclosure bringing new life to it as well. Cons: It’s a little bit heavy but given the materials it doesn’t bother me much. The “leather” loop may break easier than a solid designed loop. No real track record with a product like this from Lexar yet but they do have a good track record with their other storage products so hopefully this one is safe and fine too. Can’t really tell if it has a built in capacitor to more safely handle sudden usb disconnects. Overall initial impressions are quite great and as long as it lasts a long time like I hope it will I’m sure this will be one of my top recommendations for this category.

This thing is a work of art. It's beautiful, its super high quality, and i love it.

The Lexar E750 is a premium NVMe enclosure with a solid metal build and a unique cloth-textured lid that feels great in hand. It supports USB 4 and is backward compatible with USB 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, and 2.0, so it works with just about everything. It’s fanless, so it runs silently, and Lexar clearly put thought into cooling. It includes three silicone thermal pads (2x 1mm, 1x 0.5mm) to help with heat dissipation—for both the NVMe and the internal chipset. That said, I do wonder how the chipset is cooled—is it making contact with the metal case? I wish I had a second unit to fully disassemble and find out. Toolless access is a great touch, though a bit tricky to open if you have short fingernails. The included soft case is nice, and overall the enclosure feels very high-end. I’m a little unsure how long the cloth-textured surface will hold up at the edges, but time will tell. I didn’t have a Lexar NVMe to test performance, but from design alone, this enclosure is impressive and well thought out.

Lexie has done a good job with the design. It’s solid as a rock. One big problem I didn’t like about the SSD enclosure is that it becomes extremely hot. They need to put a fan in this enclosure.

I would have gave this NVMe enclosure 5 stars if i could had install Ubuntu on it. I know it's not the NVMe SSD i used because i tried the same SSD with a different enclosure and had no issues installing Ubuntu and booting from it. If you plan on always using this enclosure as storage, then i can recommend this enclosure for that purpose, even in Linux. The speed of the drive is excellent but i could not use it for my needs unfortunately.
