Why am I not getting the speeds advertised on my NVMe drive?
We understand there can be some confusion around SSD speeds and the transfer speed of our USB4 NVMe Pro Enclosure, so we’d love to help clarify things.
The speeds listed for your NVMe SSD are based on testing inside a computer using a direct internal connection (called an M.2 slot). Speeds can be slower when used with an external enclosure—like our USB4 model. This is normal, as the enclosure connects through USB, which works differently than internal computer parts.
To make sure you’re getting the best performance from your enclosure, please check the following:
1. Use the USB4 cable that came with the enclosure.
2. Plug it into one of the USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4/5 (⚡️) ports on your Apple computer or PC.
You can also try:
• Testing with a different SSD or USB-C cable (USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 compatible).
• Trying the setup on another Mac, ideally one with Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 5 ports.
Lastly, make sure your Mac is fully updated. Then, unplug all USB-C devices and do a full restart of your Mac.
What format does the SSD need to be in order to be supported on a PC?
The SSD must be formatted in exFAT to be used on a PC. This format also supports Mac OS.
On the other hand, NTFS format is exclusive to PCs and not compatible with Mac OS.
Is it possible to do SSD hot swapping?
No, it is not.
Ensure you follow the proper SSD swapping procedures. Eject the drive and completely disconnect the enclosure before removing and replacing the NVMe drive.
What size SSDs are compatible with the enclosure?
The supported sizes are 2242, 2260, and 2280
What NVMe drives are compatible with your USB4 NVMe Pro Enclosure?
Our USB4 SSD enclosure can easily support M.2 NVMe Drives (sizes: 2280/2260/2242mm) PCI-E Gen 4x4, max bandwidth 8GB/s; real reading/writing speed up to 3840MB/s making it the perfect solution to expand storage, upgrade the system, back up files, retrieve and recover data, and transfer data. Plug and play, no driver needed.
