The SM2NGFFMBU33 external USB 3.0 to
M.2 (NGFF) enclosure turns your SATA M.2 solid state drive into
a portable, high speed USB 3.0 drive.
Get higher external performance by
using an M.2 SSD in place of a platter drive, harnessing the full
potential of your USB 3.0 computer system. The enclosure supports
UASP, enabling you to achieve transfer speeds up to
70% faster than traditional USB 3.0 when used with a UASP-enabled
host computer.
This slim, pocket-sized SSD enclosure has
been specifically engineered for mobility. The enclosure features a lightweight yet
durable design, which fits easily into your pocket or laptop bag.
For further convenience, the enclosure is powered entirely using the
USB host bus and requires no external power adapter.
Durable aluminum construction helps
to ensure your drive won't be damaged while you're on the move.
Plus, to maximize heat dissipation the enclosure features specially
engineered ventilation holes which help maintain a cooler operating
environment for optimal performance and a longer life span for your
drive.
For wide compatibility with all of
the common M.2 solid state drives, the enclosure can mount multiple
drive heights including: 2242, 2260, and 2280.
The M.2 enclosure is backed by a
StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Improved Performance with UASP
UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac
OSX (10.8 or above), and Linux. In testing UASP performs with a 70%
faster read speed and 40% faster write speed over traditional USB
3.0 at peak performance.
At the same peak in testing UASP also
shows an 80% reduction in required processor resources.
Testing results were obtained using
an Intel� Ivy Bridge system, a UASP enabled StarTech.com Enclosure,
and a SATA III solid state drive.
