SABRENT EC-NVME M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure Features in Kenya

External M.2 NVMe SSD Storage

Converts a compatible internal M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD into an external USB storage device. This allows users to reuse existing NVMe drives, create portable storage solutions or access data from a compatible SSD outside a desktop or laptop computer.

USB 3.1 Gen 2 Interface with 10Gbps Bandwidth

Features a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface supporting an advertised maximum signaling rate of 10Gbps. This provides high-speed connectivity for compatible computers and NVMe SSDs, making the enclosure suitable for large file transfers, backups and multimedia workflows.

USB Type-C Connectivity

Uses a USB Type-C connection for convenient external storage connectivity. The supplied USB cable and Type-C adapter provide connection options for compatible computer USB ports, subject to the included cable configuration and host interface.

Supports Multiple M.2 SSD Sizes

Compatible with M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors. This provides flexibility when installing supported NVMe drives commonly used in laptops, desktop computers and compact computing systems.

M-Key NVMe SSD Compatibility

Designed for compatible M-Key M.2 PCIe NVMe solid-state drives. Users should confirm the drive interface and key type before installation, as M.2 SATA SSDs are not supported by this NVMe-specific enclosure.

CNC-Machined Aluminum Alloy Housing

Features a CNC-machined aluminum alloy enclosure designed to provide a durable external housing for an installed SSD. The metal construction also helps dissipate heat generated during storage operations.

Thermal Pad for Heat Dissipation

Includes a thermal pad to help transfer heat from the installed NVMe SSD to the aluminum enclosure. This supports thermal management during data transfers, although actual operating temperatures depend on the SSD model, workload and surrounding conditions.

High-Speed Read and Write Performance

Supports SSD-dependent read and write performance in the advertised range of approximately 850–1020 MB/s under suitable test conditions. Actual speeds vary according to the installed NVMe SSD, computer USB interface, cable, file size and system configuration.

UASP Support

Supports USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) for improved data transfer efficiency with compatible operating systems and USB controllers. UASP can help reduce protocol overhead during supported external storage operations.

TRIM Support

Supports TRIM functionality with compatible SSDs, operating systems and USB storage configurations. This helps supported solid-state drives manage unused storage blocks and maintain storage performance over time.

Plug-and-Play Operation

Designed for plug-and-play operation on supported operating systems without requiring a separate device driver. A newly installed SSD may need to be initialized, partitioned and formatted before it becomes available for file storage.

Hot-Swapping Support

Supports hot-swapping for connecting and disconnecting the external enclosure while a compatible computer is running. Users should safely eject or unmount the storage device before disconnecting it to reduce the risk of data corruption.

USB Bus-Powered Design

Receives operating power through the connected USB port, eliminating the need for a separate external power adapter. The host computer must provide sufficient USB power for the installed NVMe SSD.

Backward USB Compatibility

Supports connections through compatible USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0 ports. Data transfer speeds will be limited by the capabilities of the connected USB interface, installed SSD and system configuration.

Windows, macOS and Linux Compatibility

Designed for use with supported Windows, macOS and Linux computers. The supplied compatibility specifications include Windows 7 and later, macOS 10.5 and later, and supported Linux distributions, subject to appropriate USB storage support.

Secure Screw-Mounted SSD Installation

Uses a screw-mounted SSD installation method to secure a compatible M.2 NVMe drive inside the enclosure. The package includes mounting accessories and rubber feet for assembling the external storage device.
