ElecGear USB Mini Enclosure for 2230/2242 SATA M.2 SSD, Serial ATA Aluminum Housing Case with Magnet Cap, 10Gbps Flash Drive Internal Memory Stick Card Reader (NG-2242A)

Product Information

It’s worth mentioning that Apple’s M1 Mac range has an underlying issue due to which, your external SSD will not receive it’s maximum speed.

ROG is a gaming lineup from ASUS under which it sells gaming laptops, monitors, keyboard, mouse and more. The ROG STRIX Arion is also made to look attractive like other ROG offerings, featuring ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting technology to provide ambient lighting. And its looks make ROG STRIX Arion stand apart from other enclosures in this list. ONLY SUITABLE FOR PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD: ORICO M.2 to USB enclosure only for NVMe M-Key M.2 SSD (PCIe-based) up to 4TB, applicable to sizes 2230 / 2242 /... When you start accessing the drive, a new screen automatically pops up to show you the read/write speed, data read/written this power session, and the total amount of data read/written over the life of the drive.cicorias - Thursday, February 14, 2019 - link unfortunately, these devices still don't allow software like Samsung's clone software to work as they don't show up as a Native Samsung SSD -- see the following from their tech folks. In this review, we are focused on the USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports available in contemporary computing systems. Some of the early USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports were enabled by the third approach in the above list. For example, the ASMedia 1142 bridges 2x PCIe 2.0 or 1x PCIe 3.0 lanes to two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports. Intel's own Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt 3 controller bridges 4x PCIe 3.0 lanes to a Type-C port that can act either as a Thunderbolt 3 Type-C, or, a regular USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C host (depending on the downstream peripheral). DESIGN: Ultra-slim Aluminum case with ABS frame. Sleek, Durable, and Convenient. Portable yet durable, ideal for traveling. This ASUS enclosure supports M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD s with 2230/2242/2260/2280 form factors. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface provides speed up to 1000MB/s. USB Type-C to Type-C and USB Type-C to USB Type-A cables are included. It comes with a protective holder with a detachable ‘R-hook’ that offers extra protection from bumps.

Any difference in power consumption for the same access trace between two different units is down to the storage bridge itself (since the drive used is the same in all cases). Peak power consumption for the USBC-NVME with the JHL6540 and the ASM2142 was around 4.8W (same as the MyDigitalSSD M2X). The USBC-NVME idled at around 1.5W on both of our test systems, compared to the 1.2W number for the M2X (albeit, on a different testbed). We can't reliably conclude whether the difference in the host system (our custom Skylake testbed against the Hades Canyon NUC) is responsible for the lower idle power of the M2X, as it is also possible for the bridge firmware to be slightly different between the M2X and the USBC-NVME. Miscellaneous Aspects and Concluding RemarksWith its USB-C connection, the enclosure is limited to a theoretical maximum speed of 10Gb/s, and in testing it with one of my 128GB SK Hynix drives, I was seeing real-world write speeds of 850MB/s and read speeds of about 900MB/s. Using a different SSD, you could get slightly faster speeds with the enclosure, but that connection means you won’t see the speeds possible on some Thunderbolt-connected enclosures.

Plugable USBC-NVME Tool-Less NVMe SSD Enclosure Capsule Review by Ganesh T S on February 14, 2019 1:05 PM EST ORICO M2PV-C3 features a sleek, lightweight aluminium build, although I find the design prone to debris pileup. It comes with USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables, a heat pad, a screwdriver, a screw, an a rubber support to keep the SSD in place. Plugable’s NVMe enclosure supports M.2 NVMe SSD form factors including 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230. It’s not compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, or other M.2 non-NVMe devices. It features slots for airflow on either side of the SSD as well as extruded aluminium fins for better heat dissipation. Use the PowerShell command Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter H -ReTrim -Verbose (assuming that the drive connected to the storage bridge is mounted with the drive letter H)Shell Thunder supports speeds as high as 2700MB/s read and 2000 MB/s write with compatible devices. It supports PCIe M.2 NVMe 2260 and 2280 SSDs but not SATA or other SSDs. To get closer to the maximum speed, you will need an SSD that supports high speed, a Thunderbolt 3 cable, and a device with TB3 port. New Macs and some Windows devices now come with Thunderbolt 3 USB-C type ports. The enclosure does not work with USB-C ports. So make sure your device has a Thunderbolt 3 port. Whichever brand and model you choose, make sure it’s compatible with your SSD and your device. For example, a Thunderbolt 3 certified enclosure won’t work with USB-C ports. Not all enclosures support all SSD sizes or types. Some take M.2 2280 type SSD only with maximum 2TB storage.

The Plugable USBC-NVME enclosure we are looking at today is also based on the same bridge chip. It can accommodate a M.2 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280 NVMe SSD. The aluminum enclosure comes with two 25cm cables - a Type-C to Type-C, and a Type-C to Type-A . Both are rated for 10 Gbps operation. Plugable also supplies three thermal pads, and rubber pegs (one for each supported M.2 SSD size). The next screen offers graphs of the drive’s temperature and input voltage, while the final screen allows you to upgrade the enclosure’s firmware. 9to5Mac’s Take I am sorry this will not work with the Samsung cloning software, please let me know if you have any additional questions.In the rest of this review, we compare the Plugable USBC-NVME with a host of other storage bridges (including the TEKQ Rapide Thunderbolt 3 enclosure). Note that only the MyDigitalSSD M2X belongs to the same specific category as the Plugable USBC-NVME. The table below presents the detailed specifications and miscellaneous aspects of the units and how they compare.
