Area's new NVMe enclosure has a built-in screen for live SSD stats. The SMART M.2-METER shows things like total writes, temperature, and drive health without any software. It costs around 37 bucks and uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection for up to 10 Gbps speeds.
It works with common M.2 sizes and holds drives up to 4TB. The aluminum shell and copper plating help manage heat to prevent throttling. The display is the main sell, giving a glance at drive wear and status, which is handy for monitoring cheaper TLC or QLC drives during heavy file transfers.
