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. This is very convenient for users who frequently upgrade or change their SSDs, saving time and effort. The integrated M.2 fastener simplifies the process.
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 shell with thermal padding helps dissipate heat, preventing performance degradation due to thermal throttling. While not as effective as active cooling, it provides adequate cooling for most use cases, ensuring stable performance during sustained 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. Therefore, it cannot prevent accidental data deletion or overwriting, which may be a concern for some users who need to protect sensitive data from modification. Consider other enclosures if this feature is critical.
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. This speeds up large file transfers and backups, reducing transfer times compared to conventional USB connections. Ensure your host device supports UASP for optimal performance.
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 RGB LED lighting indicates the enclosure's status and drive activity, providing useful visual feedback. This allows for quick troubleshooting of connection issues or confirmation of data transfer activity, adding a functional and aesthetic element to the enclosure.
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. This makes it a versatile choice for users who have different sized SSDs or plan to upgrade in the future, ensuring compatibility with various form factors.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The SABRENT Rocket RGB enclosure offers good performance for its price, but the lack of active cooling may limit sustained transfer speeds. It's a good option for users needing both NVMe and SATA support.
