ASUS ROG Strix Arion SSD Enclosure

ASUS ROG has introduced a nifty accessory for PC gamers out there. It is a M.2 drive enclosure called ASUS ROG Strix Arion. Yeah. It is an external SSD enclosure, but it ain’t like no other.

It is sleek, thin, highly portable and it screams “futuristic.” After looking at the ASUS ROG Strix Arion, I promise you probably won’t want to look at other portable hard drive enclosures.

But here’s the thing, the ASUS ROG Strix Arion is not your typical SSD enclosure. As mentioned earlier, it is a M.2 drive enclosure, complete with USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface, that lets you pack the blazing-fast M.2 NVM2 drive of your choice inside.

Despite its thin profile, ASUS ROG managed to pack some vanity in it and that is the Aura Sync-enabled lighting that makes ASUS ROG trademark logo (and part of the “handle”) comes to live with colors.

All you need to crack it open is an included pin tool.

In addition, the unique all-metal aluminum case with an exclusive Strix paint job serves as a passive heat sink, aided by integrated thermal pads.

What really makes the ASUS ROG Strix Arion stands out is not just the uniquely ROG look; it is its screwdriver-free installation. All you to need crack this thing open is the bundled pin tool.
