DD´s Recommended

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.

Equiped with a high capacity SSD, this bundle has become a necessary to for us to navigate through our various test configurations.

The ROG Strix Arion is a nice venture for ASUS in uncharted waters but the choice to pursue the ROG branding means they mean to address builders and tech-savvy consumers rather than a more professional market. Regardless, it still offers great adaptability and functionality for the price.

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.
