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.

Or just buy a high capacity USB flash drive (or several) that you can put on your keyring?

Do you actually need an enclosure or just a way of easily swapping between M.2 SSDs? If you look a little further than OcUK you can find NVMe docks that might do what you need.

i didnt know there were docks will have a look 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.
