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.
While the installation is relatively simple, it requires a tiny screwdriver to secure the SSD, so it's not completely tool-free, which might be less convenient for some users, but still manageable.
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, incorporating an aluminum shell, thermal pad, and cooling fan, effectively cools the SSD, preventing performance degradation due to thermal throttling and ensuring stable, sustained performance.
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, which may be a drawback for users needing to protect data from accidental 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, making it more efficient for handling large amounts of data.
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.
There is no mention of an LED indicator function in the product information, so it's assumed that this enclosure does not have one, which might make it harder to troubleshoot connection issues.
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.
