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 allows for quick and easy SSD swaps without needing any tools. Simply insert the SSD into the slot, making it very convenient for users who frequently change drives. This is especially useful for on-the-go data access or testing multiple 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.
This enclosure lacks an external heat dissipation function, such as a heatsink or fan. This means that the SSD may get hot during prolonged use, potentially leading to thermal throttling and reduced performance. Consider this limitation if you plan to use it for sustained data transfers.
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. This means there is no way to prevent accidental data deletion or overwriting on the SSD. This feature is useful for forensic applications or when sharing data and wanting to ensure it is not modified.
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.
The product information does not mention UASP support. Without UASP, data transfer speeds may be limited compared to enclosures that support this protocol. UASP can significantly improve transfer speeds, especially with NVMe SSDs, by allowing multiple commands to be processed simultaneously.
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 product information does not mention an LED indicator. Without an LED indicator, it may be difficult to determine the enclosure's operating status or troubleshoot connection issues. An LED indicator provides a quick visual confirmation of data transfer activity or connection status.
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.
This enclosure supports multiple M.2 SSD sizes, including 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110. This provides flexibility when upgrading or repurposing existing SSDs, making it a versatile choice. Ensure the SSD is properly secured within the enclosure for optimal performance.
