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 enclosure requires a screwdriver to open and install the SSD, making it less convenient than tool-free designs. The installation process involves a screw and rubber retainer, which may be cumbersome for some users. This can make swapping drives more time-consuming.
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 aluminum top acts as a heat sink, providing passive cooling to dissipate heat from the SSD. While effective for moderate use, it may not be sufficient for sustained heavy workloads. The heat dissipation is limited by the passive design and plastic bottom.
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 written to the SSD. This could be a concern for users who want to ensure data integrity or prevent accidental overwriting of important files. It lacks a crucial data security feature.
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.
The enclosure supports UASP, which can improve data transfer speeds when connected to a UASP-compatible USB port. This allows for faster file transfers and backups compared to standard USB connections. UASP support enhances the overall performance of the enclosure.
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.
There is no mention of an LED indicator function in the product information. Therefore, it is assumed that this enclosure does not have an LED indicator to show the operating status. This makes it difficult to troubleshoot connection issues or confirm data transfer activity.
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.
The enclosure supports multiple M.2 SSD sizes (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280), providing flexibility when upgrading or repurposing existing SSDs. This makes it a versatile choice for users with different sized SSDs. It accommodates a wide range of NVMe SSDs.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
This ORICO enclosure offers good performance for its price, making it a budget-friendly option for using an NVMe SSD as portable storage. However, it lacks advanced features like tool-free installation and active cooling. It's suitable for general use but may not be ideal for sustained heavy workloads.
