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. It is very convenient for quick upgrades or maintenance, making it user-friendly for both beginners and experienced users.
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 heatsink and fan, effectively cools the SSD, preventing performance degradation due to thermal throttling and ensuring stable, sustained performance. This is crucial for maintaining high transfer speeds during prolonged use.
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 might be a limitation for users who need to ensure data integrity during viewing or sharing.
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.
It is not clear whether this enclosure supports UASP. Without UASP support, data transfer speeds might be limited compared to enclosures that support this protocol. UASP can significantly improve transfer speeds on 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. This simple feature enhances the user experience by providing immediate feedback.
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 for various storage needs. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of SSDs.
