Of course! However you have to ensure that the SSD gets enough power over USB or else you wont get anything. See if you can find an enclosure like that with an extra USB connector for power.

I was thinking of buying this Samsung 850 Evo SSD below and also the anker 2.5 inch ssd usb 3.0 enclosure below could i with these create a portable ssd

Probably. I've never tried it before, but I think that should work. Worst comes to worst, you have an extra kickass SSD for your rig and a bit of RMA'ing to do.

or you could get a box and an adapter off ebay or something for a total of about $2, this will look better but just in case you want to save money i thought i would say something here :)

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
