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 function allows users to easily install or remove M.2 SSDs without needing any tools, making it convenient for quick upgrades or swaps. This simplifies the process and reduces the risk of damaging the SSD or enclosure.
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 external heat dissipation design, with a cooling fan and aluminum heatsink, effectively cools the SSD, preventing thermal throttling and maintaining stable performance during prolonged use. This ensures consistent data transfer speeds and prolongs the lifespan of the SSD.
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 the integrity of their data and prevent accidental modifications.
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) 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.
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. This allows users to easily monitor the enclosure's performance and identify any potential problems.
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, 22110) provides flexibility when upgrading or repurposing existing SSDs, making it a versatile choice for different storage needs. This allows users to use various sized SSDs with a single enclosure.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The GRAUGEAR enclosure offers good performance for its price, but the plastic build and USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface limit its potential compared to higher-end models. It's suitable for general use and data transfer, but not for demanding applications.
