Ugreen launches fast 80Gbps NVMe SSD enclosure for enhanced computing

In recent months, Ugreen, a technology company, introduced its new 80Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure designed specifically for users with Thunderbolt 5 or USB4 V2.0 ports. This enclosure matches the compatibility requirements of the latest laptops, including recent Mac and Windows models, leveraging the increased transfer speeds offered by these advanced interfaces. This product is particularly noteworthy for its impressive capabilities, offering read and write speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s, depending on the type of SSD utilized within the enclosure. Such speed significantly enhances workflows by facilitating rapid file transfers, making it easier to manage large data volumes efficiently. For instance, a massive 100GB 8K video file can be transferred in under 15 seconds, proving beneficial for professionals working with high-definition media. One critical aspect that Ugreen addresses with this enclosure is the heat management associated with the intense performance of SSDs, which can produce considerable heat when operating at high speeds. Contrary to popular belief that SSDs run cooler than traditional hard drives, the reality is that high-speed SSDs can reach elevated temperatures, necessitating effective cooling solutions. To combat overheating, Ugreen’s enclosure incorporates a built-in PWM Turbofan that efficiently cools the SSD by automatically adjusting its speed based on the internal temperature. The fan activates only when the enclosure's temperature exceeds 40°C, thus stabilizing transfer speeds and extending the lifespan of the SSD. In addition to its robust cooling system, the enclosure is constructed from aluminum alloy and equipped with a protective silicone cover, ensuring durability and portability. While it is available for purchase at a competitive price, users must note its lack of compatibility with older Thunderbolt and USB standards, making it imperative to verify their devices before making a purchase.
