The case itself is very handy, very functional. It has a great design. It warms up a bit in use as it also serves as a passive for the relatively NVMe SSD inside. But because we don't get the discs to their full potential, temperatures are normally up to 45° C. I highly recommend ASUS Strix Arion for those who want a really fast external disk in their pocket.

If you keep moving from device to device and require data portability at a very fast speed this SSD enclosure could be the perfect option for you.

For Laptop reviews, there a lot of benchmark files that we need to carry around and transferring that from a HDD to a laptop was a very time consuming process. The Strix Arion serves as my high speed drive and for benchmark back ups.

ASUS made a good job for two reasons: the first is the super-resistant metal case and the second in terms of heat dissipation which allows for consistency in performance.

ROG Strix ARION has earned Advanced Design recognition.

If you need a fast, stylish and easy to use NVMe enclosure, then you might want to take a look at the ROG Strix Arion. When connected via Type-C the ROG Strix Arion managed to perform even better than our 2.5-inch SSD, making it fast enough to game on.

The ROG Strix Arion and the TUF Gaming A1 are two portable SSDs with very similar performance, and, in fact, the choice is limited to the aesthetics and endurance factor. The ROG Strix Arion is more compact, lighter and offers Aura Sync-compatible RGB lighting. The TUF Gaming A1, on the other hand, is a tad bulkier, costs less, and offers greater durability thanks to military certification and waterproofing.
