Turn your solid state drive into an ultra-portable pocket drive. 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.
