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.
This enclosure requires a screwdriver for installation, making it less convenient than tool-free designs. The need for a tool adds an extra step when installing or swapping SSDs, which can be cumbersome for some users.
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 construction and thermal pad provide effective heat dissipation, preventing performance degradation due to thermal throttling. This ensures stable and sustained performance, especially during prolonged use or heavy workloads.
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's no way to prevent data from being accidentally deleted or overwritten. Users needing this feature for data security should consider other options.
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 significantly increases data transfer speeds when connected to a UASP-compatible USB port, speeding up large file transfers and backups. This results in faster performance compared to conventional USB connections, reducing transfer times.
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.
This enclosure does not have an LED indicator function to show the operating status. Therefore, it is impossible to confirm the enclosure's operating status, making 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.
Supporting multiple M.2 SSD sizes (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280) provides flexibility when upgrading or repurposing existing SSDs, making it a versatile choice. This allows users to use various sized SSDs with a single enclosure.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The DOCKCASE enclosure offers a unique visual display and power loss protection, but its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface limits transfer speeds compared to higher-end models. It's a good option for users prioritizing data safety and monitoring.
