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 simplifies the process of installing or replacing an SSD, saving time and effort. The design allows users to quickly swap drives without needing any tools, making it very convenient for upgrades or maintenance.
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 alloy design with heat dissipation vests and silicone thermal pads effectively cools the SSDs, preventing performance degradation due to thermal throttling. This ensures stable and sustained performance during extended use, enhancing the lifespan of the SSDs.
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. Users needing to protect data from modification should consider other solutions.
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 feature optimizes the performance of the SSDs, reducing transfer times and improving overall efficiency.
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, so it is assumed that this enclosure does not have one. An LED indicator would provide a quick visual confirmation of the enclosure's operating status, making it easier to troubleshoot connection issues.
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, adding to its overall utility.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The ORICO Dual M.2 NVMe enclosure offers good value with its dual-slot design and tool-free installation. However, its 10Gbps transfer speed and lack of active cooling limit its performance compared to higher-end models. It's suitable for general use and backups.
