The best video I've seen regarding the ROG Strix Arion enclosure. You're the first reviewer to actually address that the interior thumb screw is to allow for tool-less installation. Others have used tools with it and didn't seem to understand why a normal motherboard M.2 screw was used! I'm sold.

This is a great accessory, the only problem is that it can get a little hot. I pointed a fan on it and it seemed to keep it under control. Other than that I'm super happy with it.

I've been holding out for a slightly more affordable high-performance external M.2 drive for work. The durability and easy drive access for swapping them is also a huge plus.

No speed test..? No pricing..? Really left out the most important stuff. Was looking for something like this, great job Asus.

Can you adjust the RGB to sync with the rest of the ASUS products in my pc?

The Asus Rog Strix Arion m.2 case has a few issues.
First, the USB-C connector doesn't have any stiffening or attachment to the housing. So all the stresses from the USB-C cable are directly transferred to the USB-C connector, the solder of this connector and the PCB. The connector has almost 1mm space to move and the fantastic case doesn't hold it in place so there is a lot of space to generate linear and angular stresses. This is a very bad design and practice!
Also, the springs in the case to hold the upper cover are quite weak, and even with a little ticker drive, the upper cover does not hold up well.
The case doesn't support double-sided m.2 drives, at least there is no thermal conductive material and support for that.

why oh why would the clip only attach through the bumper and not the bumper and enclosure? there is also a cut out opposite the connection port...what was the thinking behind that?
