These things are great, but they are shipped with caphead m3 screws that hold the chassis together, which stand proud of the sdd enclosure. In order to get this to work with a connect, or other module that lays flush against the back of the ninja V/V+/Ultra, you will need to replace the m3 screws with flatheads that sit flush with the exterior of the ssd enclosure.I used some 5mm length m3 flatheads that I had lying around and they worked fine, but make sure the flatheads are completely flush with the surface of the enclosure, as the tolerances are extremely tight. Depending on the module the short length of the ssd enclosure may cause some inconvenience, but for the connect the ssd enclosure is long enough that I can reach it (I don't think this is true for the cast, so you would need to remove it to access the drive.)Other than that slight inconvenience I have 4 of these and they have all worked flawlessly. The supplied screwdriver appears to be the incorrect size, so you will need a 1.5mm pentalobe bit/driver that you will find in something like an ifixit screwdriver set (or you can find a cheap set on amazon for under ten dollars.)While the initial setup is not "plug and play" the provided directions are clear and none of the steps are difficult. The additional thermal mass of the enclosure along with the thermal tape probably helps keep these modestly cooler than the plastic enclosure, although I haven't done any tests so YMMV. The finish, threading, and overall tolerances all seem to be superb.I highly recommend these along with the usb c adapter that is compatible with windows/mac and it has decent read speeds as well as matching the aesthetic.

I don't typically use my Ninja V monitor for recording media, but I always like having an SSD installed just in case I want a back-up. The primary reason for purchasing this case was to try to keep my rig as light and compact as possible. Standard SSD housings are large and add unwanted bulk and weight to the already heavy Ninja V monitor. The ANDYCINE case looks great and is well made. It includes the housing, screws, a small driver for screws and some heat tape. Remember to keep the screws from your donor SSD as you'll need them to mount the board inside the housing. I installed a Samsung 870 EVO SATA III into the case with no problems. I'm comfortable doing surgery on electronics - if you aren't, search YouTube and you'll find perfectly adequate tutorials for installation on there. The SSD fit perfectly and the case slid nicely into the drive slot on the Ninja V, nice and snug with no fear of it falling out. The smaller profile means it doesn't block the vents on the rear of the Ninja. Recommended.

The Andycine Lunchbox II bundle with the lunchbox reader are a perfect pair and high quality investment. Makes your common and fragile Samsung 860/870 ev0 qvo series into a hardcore, strong heavy duty and reliable SSD to have. Works perfect on your Atomos Ninja V or as a personal drive. Actually impressive build and one of the best readers or the best with no hassel on reading speed. Easy to transfer from one old body to new. Will recommend 100% and will continue to acquire more for all my SSD. A must have video accessory or your bag.
