As a qualified part-time worker, I wander around various documents every day, especially as the performance of the shooting equipment is upgraded, and the volume of the shooting material begins to proliferate. For a content creator, the mechanical mobile hard drive I used before was not to mention slow, unstable, and poor shock resistance, so I bought this Greenlink USB4 SSD enclosure.
In addition to the hard disk enclosure itself, it also comes with a hollow rubber protective case, a heat dissipation silicone sheet, an A2C data cable, a C2C data cable, as well as spare parts, fixing screws and screwdriver tools.
It should be noted that the data cable should not be replaced at will, because the original cable of this green hard disk enclosure is made of 7 strands of 21 32AWG tinned copper core, which is thickened inside and outside at the same time and equipped with multi-layer shielding nets to reduce signal crosstalk and make the transmission more stable.
The three measurements of the USB4 SSD enclosure are 120 x 48 x 19mm, with a full weight of all-aluminum body, gold convection heat dissipation panel, and thermally conductive silicone strips, which can transfer heat to the shell in time to ensure worry-free operation of the SSD.
The design of the cover of the double-layer structure is also quite careful, the front has the logo of the green link and the silk screen of the 40Gbps logo, and a white indicator is designed on the left side of the logo, the hard disk will flash when reading and writing data, and the working status of the hard disk is clear at a glance.
The bottom layer is a golden fin pattern heat dissipation panel, which uses the hollow on both sides to form convection heat dissipation, which can greatly improve the heat dissipation effect of the hard disk. In addition, there is an irregular white space on the top cover, which presents the golden part, making the green USB4 SSD case particularly outstanding in terms of appearance and texture.
The hollow rubber protective sleeve is designed with great care, and it can provide effective cushioning, absorb vibration, and prevent collisions when the hard disk is accidentally dropped, which greatly protects the safety of the hard disk and data. In addition, the silicone protective cover adopts a detachable design, which is shock-resistant and scratch-resistant, and is also convenient for daily cleaning and maintenance.
The method of disassembling and assembling the hard disk is very simple, unscrew the only screw on the top cover, and push the direction of the upper cover. Plug in the M2 SSD, then tighten the end screws, and don't forget to attach the silicone heat sink.
As you can see from the internal holes, this hard drive enclosure supports four lengths of m2SSD, easily turn a retired SSD into a removable storage tool. Moreover, it supports Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Android mainstream operating systems, ensuring good device compatibility.
The SSD I used this time was the Lonco NV7000-T SSD. NVME20 transmission protocol, pcle40*4 high-speed interface, the official nominal sustained read and write speed is up to 7300MB s.
As we all know, the most feared SSD is that the disk body is overheated, once the performance of the SSD is overheated, the performance of the SSD will be reduced, and the data may be lost, and the disk body may be directly hung up. With this in mind, the GreenLink USB4 SSD enclosure is equipped with a silent turbo cooling fan.
The fan runs at high speed for active heat dissipation, which can dissipate the heat as soon as possible, avoiding the phenomenon of high-temperature stuttering of the hard disk under high load operation for long-term reading, and even when running at full speed, the noise generated when the fan is running is basically not felt.
Not only that, the Greenlink USB4 SSD enclosure is also equipped with a high-end transmission chip, intelligent apportionment equipment computing, and the PCB immersion gold process is more resistant to oxidation to ensure stable data transmission. Not only does it support USB4 and backwards compatibility with all USB specifications, but it also supports Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4, making it a veritable flagship.
With a high-speed SSD, the theoretical rate can reach 40Gbps, after all, limited by the transfer loss between the motherboard and the interface and the hard disk enclosure, using CrystalDiskMark measurement, the sequential read speed of the SSD is 3875MB s, and the sequential write speed is 2889MB S, which has surpassed many low-end PCIe40 x 4 ssd。
In the face of this data, the high-speed USB flash drive and mechanical mobile hard disk used in the past are not worth mentioning. In terms of performance, it fully meets the needs of our daily office, games, editing and data storage.
Next, I did the actual file transfer test, here I chose a 24GB size 4K video for the test, and we can see that the speed is stable throughout the whole processAround 8GB s, there is no slowdown in the middle, and the transfer rate is very stable. With such a large file, it takes about ten seconds to complete the transfer, which is really efficient.
Use temperature measurement software to test the temperature of the hard disk, and find that the temperature has not risen significantly after a period of use, maintaining around 35, which shows that the heat dissipation effect of this hard disk enclosure is very good, and the built-in turbofan also plays a great role in heat dissipation.
In addition to using it on PC, you can use it to directly connect to your phone or tablet device, and for users like me who have a lot of data on your phone, you can backup and sync at any time, so that your phone can free up more space.
You can rest assured that this enclosure offers triple protection from the inside out, including a surge protector that protects the drive from rapid impulse voltage transientsShort-circuit protection to avoid short-circuit and protect the data security of the hard disk;ESD protector to prevent static electricity from damaging the circuit and ensure stable data transmission.
Greenlink USB4 SSD enclosure has strong heat dissipation capacity, good compatibility, no system or disk, you can use it directly when you plug it in, which is very convenient. And the transfer speed is also very fast, if you have the idea of creating a high-performance solid-state mobile hard drive, you might as well match such a hard disk case, give full play to the strength of the hard disk, to sum up, this product is very suitable for game masters, users who need to frequently transfer large files or deal with high-definition**.
