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 function allows users to install or remove SSDs without needing any tools, making it incredibly convenient for quick upgrades or swaps. This design simplifies the process and reduces the risk of damaging components, especially for those unfamiliar with hardware installation.
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, featuring a silicone thermal pad and aluminum alloy casing, effectively cools the SSD, preventing performance degradation due to thermal throttling. This ensures stable and sustained performance, especially during prolonged use or heavy workloads, enhancing 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 lacks a write protection function, meaning there is no built-in mechanism to prevent data from being written to the SSD. This could be a concern for users who need to protect sensitive data from accidental deletion or modification, as there is no hardware-level safeguard against overwriting.
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 (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) significantly increases data transfer speeds when connected to a UASP-compatible USB port. This results in faster file transfers and backups compared to conventional USB connections, reducing waiting times and improving overall efficiency, especially when dealing with large files.
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 function. Therefore, it is difficult to know the operating status of the enclosure, making it difficult to troubleshoot connection issues or confirm data transfer activity.
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, accommodating different storage needs and upgrade scenarios.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
This enclosure offers good performance for its price, but the 10Gbps transfer speed is a limitation compared to higher-end models. It's suitable for general use and offers good value.
