Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

External SSD enclosure with USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x1 interface provides up to 10 Gbps transfer speed and supports M.2 NVMe PCIe or SATA SSDs in 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors. The enclosure also supports SATA host speeds up to 6 Gbps and includes a bundled USB-C cable for connection to PCs, laptops, mobile devices and current-generation gaming consoles.

Advantages

The dual M.2 interface accepts both NVMe PCIe and SATA SSDs, enabling flexible storage upgrades. A Q-latch mechanism allows tool-free mounting of an M.2 SSD into the enclosure. The unit is designed to meet MIL-STD-810H for drop resistance and carries IP68 protection against dust and water for enhanced durability during transport and everyday use.

Key specifications

  • Interface: USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x1 (up to 10 Gbps)
  • Supported SSD types: M.2 NVMe PCIe and M.2 SATA
  • Supported sizes: 2242, 2260, 2280
  • SATA host speed: up to 6 Gbps
  • Mounting: Q-latch tool-free mechanism
  • Durability: MIL-STD-810H drop resistance
  • Ingress protection: IP68 (water and dust resistance)
  • Included accessories: USB-C cable

How to use

Open the enclosure, insert an M.2 SSD of the supported form factor and secure it with the Q-latch mechanism. Close the enclosure, connect the bundled USB-C cable to the enclosure and to a compatible host device, then power and access the drive. No additional tools are required for installation; follow the host device’s instructions for drive formatting and initialization if necessary.

Recommendations

Use compatible M.2 NVMe PCIe or SATA SSDs in 2242/2260/2280 sizes and ensure the host device supports USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x1 for maximum transfer speeds. For portable use, verify sealing after installation to maintain IP68 protection and avoid exposure to extreme liquids or impacts beyond MIL-STD-810H limits.
