Questions about this item

How does the 10Gbps USB3.2 Gen2 interface affect sustained transfer speeds?

The USB3.2 Gen2 Type-C connection delivers up to 10Gbps theoretical bandwidth, with UASP support improving real-world throughput during long sessions.

Does the aluminum body and thicker thermal pads keep the drive cool during all-day use?

The CNC aluminium housing and two included thermal pads conduct heat away from 2230-2280 NVMe SSDs, maintaining lower temperatures under continuous load.

Which M.2 NVMe SSD sizes and keys does the HR-EB101 accept?

It fits 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 PCIe NVMe drives with M Key or B+M Key, up to 8TB capacity; SATA M.2 drives are not supported.
