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 clips secure the SSD, making it easy to upgrade storage or swap SSDs without needing tools. This is especially useful for users who frequently change their SSDs.
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 built-in cooling fan effectively cools the SSD, preventing performance degradation due to thermal throttling and ensuring stable, sustained performance. This is crucial for NVMe SSDs, which can generate significant heat under heavy workloads, and helps prolong 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, so it is impossible to prevent data from being written to the SSD. This means there is a risk of accidental deletion or overwriting of data, which may be a concern for some users needing to protect sensitive information.
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 protocol optimizes data transfer, reducing transfer times and improving overall performance when used with compatible systems.
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 quick visual confirmation of the enclosure's operating status, making it easy to troubleshoot connection issues or confirm data transfer activity. The blue indicators show the cloning progress, allowing users to easily monitor the status of the cloning process.
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, providing flexibility when upgrading or repurposing existing SSDs.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
