Hi looking for some advice, need an external enclosure for m.2 drives but need one i can swap drives in and out without problems, don't want any glue or sticky substance stuck to the drive permanently from the enclosure, need to be able to swap drives without damaging them.thanks.

thanks for the replies had a look at the m.2 docks and they look good but based on reviews they can be quite flimsy because the drive has not protection so can be knocked and banged and damaged and i tend to be quite clumsy so will have to look at enclosures that won't damage the drive and i can swap easily.

Looks like a good option, but some of the reviews on the official website look a bit bad, will look into in further thanks.

The edge connectors on m.2 drives aren't robust, just FYI.

I'd be very careful when removing, and store them safely. Personal preference would be ESD foam and a case that compresses sufficiently to prevent movement without force.

thanks for the advice
