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 enclosure requires a screw to secure the M.2 SSD, so it is not completely tool-free. While simple, this method is less convenient than tool-free designs that use latches or sliding mechanisms. Securing the drive requires a screwdriver, adding a small step to the installation 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 case with a thermal pad provides external heat dissipation, helping to keep the SSD cool during operation. This passive cooling solution is effective for moderate workloads, preventing performance degradation due to high temperatures by drawing heat away from the drive.
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 data from being written to the SSD, which may be a concern for users needing to protect data from accidental deletion or modification. This feature is not available on this model.
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 large file transfers and backups, improving overall performance compared to standard USB connections. Ensure your host device supports UASP to take full advantage of this feature.
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 enclosure includes an LED indicator that displays the operating status, allowing you to easily check whether the SSD is properly connected and transferring data. This provides a quick visual confirmation of activity and can help in troubleshooting connection issues or confirming data transfer progress.
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 versatility allows you to use various sized drives with a single enclosure, making it a convenient choice for different storage needs and scenarios.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The UGREEN enclosure offers good performance for its price, supporting both NVMe and SATA SSDs. Its 20Gbps speed is limited by the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface. Durability is ensured by the aluminum case. It's suitable for users needing fast external storage.
