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. The design allows for quick swaps without needing any tools, making it very user-friendly and convenient.
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 alloy housing acts as a heat sink, dissipating heat and preventing performance degradation due to thermal throttling. This ensures stable and sustained performance during data transfers and backups.
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, meaning there is no way to prevent data from being written to the SSD. This could be a concern for users needing to protect data from accidental modification or 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.
UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) support is not mentioned, so it's unclear if this enclosure supports it. Without UASP, data transfer speeds may not be as fast as they could be with it, potentially increasing transfer times.
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 inclusion of an 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 at a glance. This is a helpful feature for monitoring the device.
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 and drive types.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
This ACASIS NVMe SSD reader offers good performance for its price, but its USB 3.2 interface limits its transfer speeds compared to higher-end Thunderbolt enclosures. It's suitable for general use and data backups.
