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.
While the enclosure is easy to set up, it requires one screw to secure the SSD, so it is not completely tool-free. The screw simplifies the process compared to enclosures requiring multiple screws, but it's not a fully tool-less design, which might be slightly less convenient for some users.
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 and thermal pad provide external heat dissipation, helping to keep the SSD cool during operation. This prevents performance degradation due to thermal throttling, ensuring stable and sustained high-speed data transfer, especially during prolonged use or heavy workloads.
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 feature is useful for safely viewing or sharing important data without the risk of modification, but it is not available on this model, limiting its use in certain scenarios.
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 reduces transfer times for large files or backups, making it more efficient for users who frequently work with large amounts of data, enhancing its overall 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.
There is no mention of an LED indicator function in the product information, so it is assumed that this enclosure does not have one. An LED indicator would provide a quick visual confirmation of the enclosure's operating status, making it easy to troubleshoot connection issues or confirm data transfer activity, but this feature is absent.
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, providing flexibility when upgrading or repurposing existing SSDs, enhancing its overall utility.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The UGREEN enclosure offers good performance for its price, but its reliance on USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 limits its maximum speed on many systems. Durability is solid, suitable for everyday use.
