Questions & Answers

Is this compatible with 2TB or larger hard drives? How big can a hard drive be?

I have a 500mb ssd in mine, and the information that comes with it says nothing about MB or TB limits, only the length of the drive, which is 2280 in mine. I believe the dimensions are 22mm x 80mm. There are three drive sizes that are compatible. So, if you can get a drive with a larger TB capacity but still fits on the same size card, you're good to go. I believe the one I purchased has up to 2 TB of storage on the same size card, but it costs over $300.

Although the enclosure is made of aluminum, what is the material used in the inner tray? plastic?

The inner tray is ABS, just in case you were wondering.

When sliding the PCB into the enclosure, it appears that the thermal pad will obstruct and become stuck. Is there a way to get it to work without the thermal pad?

Because the thermal pad does not come into contact with the case, no heat is transferred to it for cooling. Because of this, the thermal pad is useless. If you decide to go this route and add a second/thicker thermal part to your drive, be aware that it will make it difficult to remove the tray to access the drive. A better option for passive cooling is to get a clamshell style case or something like the Asus ROG case.

Is this using the rtl9210 or rtl9210b chipset? No mention of it anywhere, so I'm guessing no. ?

RTL9210B is the chip's name, just in case you were wondering.

Selected User Reviews For Inateck NVMe Enclosure for M.2 NVMe and SATA SSDs,USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C,FE2025

This device does not provide any thermal conduct from the SSD to the metal, despite the fact that it is attractive and made of metal

3/5

It includes a thermal pad that serves only as an insulator for the drive because it does not make contact with the metal. This is an enormous issue. The drive heats up, the thermal pad heats up, and the heat cannot be transferred to the metal case during large/long data transfers. br>br>If you don't want your drives to go into thermal throttling, stay away.

The interface is simple to use, but the design is poor

3/5

Works great, SSD installation is a breeze; however, the enclosure includes a silicone strip for heat transfer to the case, but it does not line up with the case, making it ineffective. Also, if you're using a high-resolution camera, speed m. 2 If you have a WD black series drive, you should get an enclosure with a fan because it will get quite hot if it isn't ventilated.

Does NOT cool, despite being reasonably rugged

3/5

2 Stars. It's only there because it's fairly sturdy and will shield the drive from the majority of impacts. Other than the drive itself, the heat dissipation shim makes no contact. It is unable to dissipate heat because it does not make contact with the aluminum shell.

Perfect for what I'm looking for! I needed a way to get my hands on some plain M

5/5

2 SSDs. I mostly use NVMe, but I do have a few SATA drives. I'd previously purchased a couple of other enclosures that only supported NVMe and had no problems with them, but my most recent one had some strange issues when closing the case. On the other hand, this one is perfect. While it is a little thicker, I probably won not even have the outer shell installed 90% of the time I won not have the outer shell installed br>br>Another thing to keep in mind is that If you're going to use it like I do and will be switching drives frequently, don't bother latching them down! The drives can be accessed even if they are protruding at a 45-degree angle.

It doesn't work, and the input on the device is bad

3/5

I was able to figure out that the device's input was bad after trying several known good cables. It was possible to make a connection by wriggling the cable at that end, but it didn't last, so I returned it.

method of retainer is insufficient This is a fantastic little gadget, except for one flaw: If a full-sized SSD is used, a plastic clip that is an integral part of the SSD holder is used to keep it in place on the screw end

3/5

As a result, removing the SSD is extremely difficult. If you're using a shorter SSD version, you'll need to insert a couple of plastic clips into the holder's holes to keep the screw end from falling out. This is a problem that manufacturers of devices like this one address in a variety of ways, with rubber plugs appearing to be the most effective. If you plan to use the same SSD in this device indefinitely, it will receive a 5-star rating. I give it a five-star rating. Otherwise, I'd look for a device that allows me to swap out SSDs more easily.

What you pay for is exactly what you get

3/5

The unit is functional. It will do so when it desires. The item does not stay connected all of the time, and the NVME drive cannot be secured to the device like it can on a computer. As a result, the drive flops around in the enclosure like a fish. This is most likely why the drive has connectivity issues (on multiple devices). If I didn't need it right now, I would return it.

It gets the job done

5/5

The enclosure has a solid feel to it. To be fair, I've only used it to clone NVMe drives and perform other short-term tasks. If you really need to keep an NVMe drive in a USB adapter, I can't see why this wouldn't be a good long-term enclosure.
