No driver needed, plugged & ready; Compatible with All OS with USB support, UASP, BOT, TRIM; Can use Cloning Software** to Clone NVMe to NVMe
Access data on both M.2 NVMe as individual drive; Designed for Backup purposes and/or Secondary Storage
Model: NST-262C3
USB Connector: Native USB C, USB 3.2 Gen2x2 (USB reversible connector)
USB Speed: 20Gbps (theoretical Speed)***
M.2 NVMe Connectors: Two M.2 NVMe ; M.2 NVMe Size Support: 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280
M.2 NVMe bandwidth: PCIe Gen3x2; M.2 NVMe Drive Capacity:** 16TB max per M.2 NVMe connector**
Power Supply:** Bus Powered (power requirement based on user M.2 NVMe module)
Material: Aluminum Alloy
Item Dimensions (L x W x H): 4.72 x 2.77 x 0.68 inches / 119.8 x 70.3 x 17.25 mm; Item Weight: 7.29 oz. / 206.75 g

** NOTE: Tested maximum capacity. The User total M.2 NVMe power requirement will dictate how much power is required from your USB port. If the user’s USB port cannot provide enough power to this enclosure, it is necessary to use the provided USB C Power Port to supplement power. The total power required by the user M.2 cannot be more than what your USB port can provide.
*** USB Actual Speed may vary, Maximum Speed cannot be achieved when using USB Type-A port.
* Cloning Software available from the drive manufacturer or online
Simple toolless installation of DUAL M.2 NVMe.

IMPORTANT POWER REQUIREMENT
How Much power do I need to use this enclosure?
The more important question is how much power can my System USB port provide to my TWO power hungry M.2 NVMe
What power do I need to run this enclosure? a) This enclosure by itself uses very little power like 5V, 100mA.
It is your M.2 NVMe that is going to consume more power. Here is what is required. Read what is on your M.2 NVMe module label, often it will state power info like 3.3V, and 2.5A. This value is for one M.2 NVMe module. Take 3.3V * 2.5A = 8.25 watts needed to run this M.2 module. Next do the same to the second module and add them together. If both are the same, it will total up to 16.5 watts.
Next find out what your USB port on your computer can provide. If your USB port can provide 16.5 watts, you are good to go. If your USB port cannot provide enough, please use the orange power port to supplement the power to your drive and make sure the total power provided to the enclosure plus drives is enough.
