Product Information

Full details

This Lindy USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Dual M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure is designed for users who need to expand their storage with high-speed external drives, particularly for professionals working with large files or requiring rapid data transfer. Its standout feature is the offline cloning capability, allowing direct SSD duplication without a host computer, offering significant time savings. However, to achieve the full 20Gbps speeds, a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host controller is necessary, which is not yet standard on all systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use SATA M.2 SSDs with this enclosure?

No, this enclosure is specifically designed for PCIe/NVMe based M.2 SSDs only. It does not support M.2 SSDs that use the SATA interface.

What is 'offline cloning'?

Offline cloning means you can duplicate the contents of one M.2 NVMe SSD onto another M.2 NVMe SSD using the enclosure directly, without needing to connect the enclosure to a computer. This is useful for creating exact copies of drives.

Do I need a special cable for 20Gbps speeds?

Yes, to achieve the full 20Gbps speeds, you need both a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host controller on your computer and a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 compatible cable. The enclosure includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C to Type-C cable.

Is the power adapter included?

Yes, a 12VDC 2A power adapter with multiple country adapters (EU, UK, US, AUS) is included to ensure stable power delivery.

What SSD lengths are supported?

The enclosure supports M.2 NVMe SSDs in lengths of 42mm, 60mm, and 80mm.

Does it support TRIM and UASP?

Yes, the enclosure supports both TRIM and UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) to help maintain SSD performance and speed.

What is the warranty period?

The Lindy USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Dual M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure comes with a 2-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

Enclosure not recognized by computer

Ensure the USB Type-C cable is securely connected at both ends. Verify that the external power adapter is connected and plugged in. Try a different USB port on your computer. Ensure your operating system is up to date.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm your computer has a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host controller for maximum speed. Check that the SSDs installed are NVMe and not SATA. Ensure UASP is enabled in your OS if applicable. Make sure no other high-bandwidth devices are competing for resources.

Cloning process fails or is very slow

Ensure both SSDs are properly seated and compatible (NVMe M-key). Verify the external power adapter is connected. Make sure the source and destination SSDs have sufficient capacity. Check SSD health if possible.

Overheating during heavy use

Ensure the turbo fan is operational and the enclosure vents are clear. Confirm thermal pads and plates are correctly applied between the SSDs and the enclosure's cooling surfaces.

One or both SSDs not detected

Remove and re-insert the M.2 SSDs, ensuring they are firmly seated. Check the M.2 rubber retainers are in place. Test each SSD individually in the enclosure and in another system if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High-speed data transfer up to 20Gbps with compatible hosts.
Convenient offline cloning feature for easy drive duplication.
Tool-free installation for quick and simple setup.
Active cooling system prevents thermal throttling and ensures longevity.
Supports modern NVMe M.2 SSDs in various lengths.
Includes all necessary cables and a universal power adapter.

Cons

Full 20Gbps speed requires a specific USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host controller, which may not be widely available.
Does not support SATA-based M.2 SSDs.
External power adapter is required for optimal performance and cloning.
The enclosure itself adds bulk compared to single-drive enclosures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

SSD Type: Compatible with PCIe/NVMe based M.2 SSDs with an M key.
SSD Lengths: Supports 42mm, 60mm, and 80mm lengths.
Host Connection: Requires a USB Type-C port on the host computer. For full 20Gbps speeds, a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host controller is required. It will also work with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) or USB 3.0 ports, but at reduced speeds.
Operating Systems: Compatible with Windows and macOS.

Setup:

Install SSDs: Open the enclosure (tool-free design) and insert your M.2 NVMe SSDs into the designated slots. Ensure they are securely seated. Use the provided rubber retainers to keep them in place.
Thermal Pads: Apply the included thermal conductive pads and plates to the SSDs for optimal heat transfer.
Connect Power: Connect the 12VDC power adapter to the enclosure's DC-in jack and plug it into a power outlet.
Connect to Host: Use the included USB Type-C to Type-C cable to connect the enclosure to a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (or compatible) port on your computer.
Format (if new): If using new SSDs, you may need to initialize and format them via your operating system's disk management tools.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Ventilation: Ensure the enclosure's vents are not blocked to allow for proper airflow and cooling.
Storage: When not in use, store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (-10°C to 90°C).
Power: Always use the provided power adapter to ensure stable operation, especially during cloning.
