A: Yes. It supports both PCIe NVMe and SATA NGFF M.2 SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors.
Q: Does it support mSATA SSDs?
A: No. mSATA uses a different interface and is not supported by this enclosure.
Q: What is the maximum transfer speed?
A: The enclosure supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps. Actual transfer speed depends on your SSD, computer USB interface, cable and files being transferred.
Q: Does the enclosure support an 8TB M.2 SSD?
A: Yes. The enclosure supports compatible M.2 NVMe or SATA SSD capacities of up to 8TB.
Q: Does it require an external power adapter?
A: No. The enclosure is powered directly through its USB connection.
Q: Do I need to install a driver?
A: Normally no. It is designed for plug-and-play operation on supported Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and compatible iOS/iPadOS devices.
Q: Why does the aluminum enclosure become warm during use?
A: This is normal during sustained high-speed SSD operation. The aluminum housing is designed to transfer heat away from the SSD, so warmth on the exterior can indicate that the enclosure is dissipating heat.
Q: Is an SSD included?
A: No. The package contains the SSD enclosure and applicable accessories only. The M.2 SSD must be purchased separately.
