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 one-click open and lock mechanism makes it very convenient for users who frequently swap 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 aluminum enclosure and heatsink provide effective passive cooling, which helps prevent thermal throttling during sustained use. This ensures stable performance even under moderate workloads, prolonging 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's no way to prevent accidental data deletion or overwriting. This could be a concern for users who need to share data safely without the risk of modification.
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 is especially beneficial for users working with large media files or frequently backing up their 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. This simple feature can save time and frustration when dealing with external storage devices.
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 ORICO PWDM2-BK is a budget-friendly enclosure with decent performance for both NVMe and SATA SSDs. It's easy to use with its tool-free design, but the 10Gbps USB interface limits the potential of high-end NVMe drives. Good for basic external storage needs.
