Unitek M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, Tool-Free Portable Aluminum USB3.1 Gen2 (10Gbps) Type-C to NVME PCI-E M-Key Hard Drive External Enclosure Support UASP Compatible for M.2 NVMe SSD M-Key 2242/2260/2280

An NVMe ssd is held in place by a tension loaded plastic clip as the case slides off. It is not necessary to use screws or tools. Besides the thermal pad and metal strip, there is also an additional heat transfer device. As much as I don't like to permanently attach the thermal pads, it still works well for me to slide the pad and metal strip over the SSD and then close the cover snugly. The images you can see below are the results of my data transfer test. Please note It is possible to transfer data at over 1000 MB/s (8000 Mb/s) if a USB-3 is used. One USB C to USB C port and one USB C to USB C cable are included. Please note Using a USB 3 device, you can achieve over 450 MB/s (3600 Mb/s). A USB A to USB C cable is included with the USB A to USB C port. The theoretical limits of USB 3 are consistent with these speeds In addition to USB 3. 0, there is also USB 2. 0.

I got this a while back and got an extra NVMe drive to test it. Despite a few attempts I was never able to get it to recognize the drive. I was able to initialize the drive using another NVMe enclosure I put this drive back in the enclosure, but it will not read it. Very disappointed I did not try earlier and could have returned it.

Two NVMe SSDs housed in an An important part of data protection is backups. When it does take a long time, it can be tempting to put off. Security experts recommend storing copies of your files in three locations. I have my data backed up through two different cloud services, and I also backed up locally to a USB drive, but a USB drive is not really an effective backup device, so my data isn't so quickly available It is questionable if long-term reliability is possible (except perhaps for SD cards or USB sticks labeled "endurance. ". In any case, I bought this Unitek NVMe M enclosure for USB C. The SSDs are 2 in number. Aluminum is a good material to use for a case it dissipates heat well and is well designed. By pushing a button on the bottom of the case, it opens, but you cannot slide it open when you are not interested in it. Although I have not benchmarked it yet, using a Crucial P1 1TB SSD in this enclosure is a great choice. A Samsung SSD would be faster, but would be overkill for the tasks I'm trying to accomplish with backups. All you have to do is plug it in.

There is a lot of attention to detail on the exterior of this device. It is made from aluminum, with 4 screws holding it in place. You can remove the screws and mount your drive after removing the board, but the snaps to hold the drives are about one millimeter too short, so the drives will not snap into place after removal. My first two options seemed a little iffy to me, so I got a different device that works as it should.

The Unitek M came to me as a gift. The NVMe SSD enclosure for $19 includes two NVMe SSDs I just bought a 49 USD item on As a tech support contractor, I needed an enclosure to help me recover and transfer client's data. I would say it's a little tight fitting for The enclosure can hold 2 drives, but only one will stay in position and it can be removed easily. For opening the enclosure or inserting M, there is no need for a screwdriver or other tools. All you need is two sticks, and once you get the hang of it, the whole process can be completed quickly. There is only one thing I don't like about the small USB-only device The next step is C3. These are roughly three to four inches each Longer than 10cm). There was no major show this year - That's not a deal-breaker, but you should keep that in mind to avoid having your enclosure dangle off the side of your WD Black SN750 Gen 3 and Samsung 980 Pro Gen 4, as well as an old Samsung MZ-500EX are the devices I have tested this on so far The drives worked fine on all of them. I used my Windows 10 laptop to plug the enclosure in and it detected right away without searching.

Whether using a USB key or a USB stick, it worked Connect a USB device to a USB port The USB-C cable is also compatible with the USB-A cable Connect a USB device to a USB port I have gotten A on every USB port I have tested The numbers 0 and 3 respectively. A zero). A lot of the other enclosures on the market didn't work because they were too power-hungry and the computer wouldn't initialize them. There are plenty of warm days, but they are not unbearable. In terms of speed, the USB is a bit slower The port has an average write speed of 270 and a read speed of 430 using an older 256gb Toshiba model. My NVMe drive was removed from a Dell XPS laptop that I had upgraded. A 300/900 USB connection was used Connect a USB device to a USB port It is a cable of type C. The test was conducted using the AJA System Test 2 software. In the file settings, the 4GB file was set to 16bit RGB and 4096 by 1714 resolution. I would transfer these files very regularly since these are the types of files I transfer The results will definitely be better with a better SSD.

As I was upgrading my NVMe drive, I removed the old drive from the motherboard and installed it in a As soon as I plug the external USB enclosure into my PC, Windows does not recognize the drive. What I've tried are

Things I've done Please note I attempted to convert to MBR (failed) GPT conversion failed It cannot be converted because the size of the specified disk is less than the minimum size required to be converted) Please note While diskpart can select the drive, no other commands can be executed. I know the disk is perfectly functioning, but I am unable to get it to work or I tried the same thing on other computers with the same result.

With both the Intel 660p and Samsung EVO, I could not get either to work. As soon as the Intel One appeared as a disk drive, I tried to copy 10GB of video files and the drive just stopped working. No matter what the cause, it is going back. I am not sure if it's overheating or a bad microchip. In both USB 3 and USB 4 I had the same problem. The same issue occurs with USB Type 1 and USB Type C connectors. The one I have is the Sabrent one and it works well.

Edit My computer started working after I restarted it, but I'm going to stress test it one more time to be sure nothing goes wrong. It took Windows a while to start working again after the update.
