$28.99cited in 2 videosspeaks highly of it

“The one I've used most recently is this Aoko NVME to USB 3.2 SSD reader docking station. It's small but capable and for checking what's on an M.2 SSD or copying data. It is way faster than fiddling with an external enclosure or especially installing it into an M.2 slot on your motherboard.”
