Features
A function that allows M.2 NVMe SSD installation and removal without any tools. You can easily install or replace the SSD without needing screwdrivers or other tools. Convenient for quickly upgrading storage or swapping SSDs.
The tool-free installation allows users to quickly install or replace M.2 SSDs without needing any tools. This simplifies the setup process and makes it easy to swap drives for different purposes, such as upgrading storage or backing up data. It is very convenient.
A function that incorporates a heat sink or radiating fins on the enclosure exterior to improve heat dissipation efficiency. The SSD's heat can be effectively released, preventing performance degradation due to high temperatures. Enables stable and sustained high-speed data transfer.
The vertical insertion design promotes some heat dissipation by allowing air to circulate around the SSD. While not as effective as a dedicated heatsink or fan, it helps prevent the SSD from overheating during moderate use, maintaining stable performance and prolonging its lifespan.
A function that prevents data from being written to the SSD. Protects your data from accidental deletion or overwriting. Useful for safely viewing or sharing important data without the risk of modification.
This enclosure does not have a write protection function, which means there is no way to prevent data from being accidentally overwritten or deleted on the SSD. This could be a concern for users who need to protect sensitive data from modification.
A function supporting the USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) for faster data transfer speeds. When connected to a UASP-compatible USB port, data transfer speeds are significantly increased compared to conventional USB connections. Reduces transfer times for large files or backups.
Supporting UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) enables faster data transfer speeds when connected to a UASP-compatible USB port. This reduces transfer times for large files and backups, improving overall efficiency and productivity. It is a significant advantage for users who frequently transfer large amounts of data.
A function that displays the enclosure's operating status with an LED indicator. You can easily check whether the SSD is properly connected and transferring data. Allows for quick troubleshooting of connection issues.
The LED indicator provides a visual indication of the enclosure's operating status, allowing users to quickly check if the SSD is properly connected and transferring data. This simplifies troubleshooting and helps users monitor the enclosure's performance at a glance.
A function that supports different M.2 NVMe SSD sizes (e.g., 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280). You can use various sized SSDs with a single enclosure. Provides flexibility when upgrading or repurposing existing SSDs.
Supporting multiple M.2 SSD sizes (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280) provides flexibility when upgrading or repurposing existing SSDs. This versatility allows users to use different sized SSDs with a single enclosure, making it a convenient choice for various storage needs.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
This docking station offers dual protocol support for both NVMe and SATA SSDs, making it versatile for different storage needs. However, its performance is limited by the USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface. Durability is a concern.
