A button on the side pops the top open, allowing the lid to fold back up to 180 degrees while staying attached to the rest of the gray aluminum chassis. Enclosures can only handle as much speed as their USB ports and the USB ports on your computer allow.

The fastest enclosure we've tested, the ZikeDrive uses an ASMedia ASM2464 controller to deliver USB 4 read speeds that are 20 percent faster than we've seen on the competition. inch hard drive hanging around and want to turn it into an external storage device, you’ll need something like Ugreen’s CM472.The bumper currently comes free (in a separate box) with purchase from DockCase, but it’s unclear whether it will always be included. Installing a drive in the Ugreen requires no tools at all as you just slide the top of the plastic case off and plug your drive into the SATA port inside. Also, if you plug a Thunderbolt enclosure into a port that doesn’t support Thunderbolt, it may not work. However, there doesn’t seem to be any way to actually control the lights as the Asus Armoury Crate software we tested with did not recognize the drive.

The integrated cooling fan is a critical feature, as it dissipates heat, a common byproduct of SSD operation that can impact performance over time.An external SSD enclosure with cooling fan is more than just a storage expansion; it's a means to optimize data management and safeguard valuable information. On our tests, the Ugreen CM472 performed well enough, with transfer rates that were in line with other 3. We work hard to source the best used devices and refurbish them if required to reintroduce them back into circulation at the highest standard. It also promises to support both SATA and NVMe drives, but we only tested with the latter as those are the much more common type of M. Note that a SATA drive only operates at up to 6 Gbps, so the 10 Gbps ports really act as 6 Gbps ports and are even labeled as such on the devices.

Though it was usually a few points behind the Plugable enclosure, it was within striking distance and sometimes ahead. I'm able to move it around from machine to machine at home and plug it in and just see all of the data like any other thumb drive.
