Two M.2 solid-state drives are too wasteful. One SSD hard drive box solves the big problem.

Last time I was chatting with fans about idle solid-state drives, an old man mocked that he still doesn’t trust SSDs. An 80GB mechanical hard drive at home “is still going strong.” Anyone who uses a solid-state drive will suffer a loss."

"The Qing Dynasty is dead!" For a moment, the diving group became happy. Someone asked that old man, it’s 1202 years old, and we don’t despise the 80GB capacity, but what is a NAS and how to use cold backup? You haven’t experienced it yet, have you? Others are eager to popularize science for me: In terms of durability, today's SSDs are one step ahead of HDDs. As long as you don't choose a black disk or a three-disk, how can a solid-state drive fail? Large-capacity mechanical hard disks are used as warehouses, and SSDs are already the main hard disk. It has become the mainstream choice for installation. You said that the mechanical hard drive is solid, drop it and give it a try? Brother, at the beginning

Through this incident, I came to a conclusion: No matter how advanced technology is, those stubborn and conservative people may continue to stay in the Stone Age. People must keep pace with the times and their knowledge structure must be updated in time, otherwise it will be easy to make a joke.

Today I want to talk to you about another solid-state drive placement solution. This solution is different from the single-bay hard drive enclosure I used in the past. It is more suitable for friends who have more than 2 idle SSDs. The solution is to start with An M.2 NVMe solid-state drive enclosure that supports dual-bay high-speed transmission.

The model of this hard disk enclosure is ORICO M2P2J-C3. C3 corresponds to the Type-C interface, USB3.1 Gen2 10Gbps transmission standard, supports dual-disk simultaneous transmission and reading, and supports a maximum of 2TB x2 hard disks. capacity.

It is also equipped with two data cables, A to C and C to C. Using these two cables, you can achieve a read and write transmission speed of up to 1GB per second on desktop computers and notebooks.

Take a look at the packaging and simply open a box.

A family portrait of accessories: The box is made of all-aluminum alloy, and the top fin design increases the heat dissipation area, which can ensure that the SSD reads and writes at high speed without slowing down. Equipped with an external power adapter (optional multi-country adapter plug), accessories include dual data cables, screwdriver, two pieces of thermally conductive silicone strips, instructions and warranty card.

The box body measures 106x62x14.9mm, which is almost the same length and width as a 2.5-inch mobile hard drive. It is as big as a palm, thin, light and more portable. The dual-bay design makes it easier to digest those temporarily unused disassembled SSDs and easily create large-capacity and high-speed PSSD (mobile solid-state drives).

The interface buttons are all on the same side, the Type-C interface is in the center, and the DC power supply port and power button are on both sides.

Use the provided screwdriver to tighten the screws, and the top cover can be pulled and removed. The details and texture are the same as the outside and inside. The M.2 dual-bay structure inside is very refreshing. It is controlled by JMS, supports UASP acceleration protocol, and complies with ORICO Type 2. The "Thunder Speed" standard formulated by the -C interface reaches the standard of transmitting 1GB of data in 1 second.

The independent power supply ensures that dual-disk M.2 SSDs can work simultaneously and in parallel. According to the actual test, two M.2 hard drives can be recognized in seconds after being connected to a notebook. The PC and the two SSDs can read and write data separately, and copy between the two SSDs. , migrating files can be completed efficiently.

The striped fin design on the top increases the heat dissipation area to prevent the heat generated during high-speed reading from being easily retained; on the other hand, there are also 2 data indicators hidden, which emit a faint blue light during operation.

If you also have an idle M.2 SSD in your hand, it is compatible regardless of length (***compatible with four specifications: 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280). Please pay attention to distinguishing between M.2 SATA SSD (NGFF protocol). The old solid state is usually a disassembled solid state drive from an old notebook. Although the size is the same as the M.2 NVMe SSD, it is not compatible with this box. If you need an SSD compatible with NGFF, you can choose ORICO M2NV01-C3.

In the actual measured speed of the Type-C interface of my X570 platform PC motherboard, both SDDs can run a read/write speed of up to 1GB per second: taking one of the 512GB SSDs as an example, CrystalDiskMark Continuous read and write 1028MB/s, continuous write 970MB/s; TxBENCH's results are 1027MB/s and 979MB/s.

Keywords: Dual-bay M.2 NVMe solid-state drive enclosure supports 10Gbps Type-C high-speed transmission, allowing multiple idle SSDs to be fully utilized and transformed into high-speed PSSDs. It can be used as a high-speed data warehouse or high-speed backup disk, making it convenient for mobile office.

Note that if you want to maintain optimal heat dissipation during use, like the SSDs I showed earlier that come with built-in heat dissipation vests, you must first remove the vests and then cover them with the silicone heat conductor sheet that comes with the box. On the SSD chip, the hard disk box is finally installed to ensure the heat conduction effect between the SSD and the casing. Another solution is a "bare box" without a box cover. This situation is suitable for SSDs that have their own vests that are inconvenient to disassemble and can be switched between plugs and unplugs at any time. It can save the step of installing a thermally conductive silicone box cover.
