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 enclosure can be opened and the SSD secured without any tools, making it very 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 external heat dissipation design, featuring an aluminum alloy body, dual-sided perforated design, thermal silicone pad, aluminum strip and a built-in 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. This could be a drawback for users who need to protect sensitive 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. This ensures faster and more efficient data handling.
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 is assumed that this function is not available. Without an LED indicator, it may be harder 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.
The enclosure only supports 2280 M.2 SSDs, limiting flexibility when upgrading or repurposing existing SSDs of different sizes. This means you can only use one specific size of SSD with this enclosure.
