In the past six months, SSD** has been declining, and this time is undoubtedly the best time to start storage products. Due to the need for large-capacity storage, I also removed the 512GB SSD on the original computer and replaced it with a new SSD with a capacity of 2TB, and the original installed TiPlus7100 was idle.
Due to data security considerations, SSDs that are generally idle are rarely disposed of. The best way to use it is undoubtedly to use a hard disk enclosure to organize a large-capacity external storage device to facilitate the storage of data or copy large-volume files. After some search and comparison, the CM559 M. of Greenlink was finally locked2 NVMe SSD enclosures.
This SSD enclosure is USB 32 specifications, the maximum speed can reach 10Gbps, which is more than enough for file storage or copying under general circumstances. Although there is no shortage of 20Gbps or even 40Gbps hard disk enclosure products on the market, they also need to cost a higher cost. Therefore, choosing a 10Gbps hard drive enclosure is undoubtedly a more cost-effective choice.
The installation of SSDs is fairly simple. First of all, after removing the top cover of the hard disk enclosure, align the gold finger of the SSD with the slot of the hard disk enclosure, and then fix the SSD with a rubber fixing buckle. Then, paste the included thermally conductive silicone strip on the hard drive, and finally close the top cover and tighten the locking screws.
It is worth mentioning that this CM559 hard disk enclosure comes with a silicone protective case, which adopts a hollow design, which can ensure that the heat dissipation effect is not affected while providing protection.
After the hard disk enclosure is installed, the speedtest disk speed test software is used to test the speed, and the write speed of the hard disk enclosure reaches 9249MB s, and the read speed reached 830MB s, which basically ran the upper limit of the 10Gbps transfer rate of the hard disk enclosure in addition to various losses.
In terms of file transfer test, it took about 35 seconds to copy about 25GB of files from a computer to the hard disk enclosure, which is quite efficient.
Heating will be a key factor affecting the performance of the hard disk enclosure, and this hard disk enclosure uses Realtek RTL9210 main control chip, which not only has strong performance, but also has outstanding performance in heat control. In addition, the hard disk enclosure adopts an all-aluminum body design, and the excellent thermal conductivity of the aluminum body also plays a certain role in controlling the temperature. In the actual experience, after about 40 minutes of continuous use of the hard disk enclosure, the surface of the hard disk enclosure did not heat up significantly, and the transfer rate did not drop significantly.
In general, the difficulty of DIY SSD enclosure is not high, and the mainstream SSD enclosure is also very friendly, and there are many products with excellent quality and price ratio below 100 yuan that are worth starting. Of course, if you have higher requirements for the transfer rate, you may also want to pay attention to the 40Gbps USB4 hard disk enclosure, or Thunderbolt hard disk enclosure, but the corresponding cost will also have to pay. Abundance and thrift are made by people, and everyone can choose according to their own needs. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
