• Supported drive types: M.2 SATA and M.2 NVMe (single module)
• Supported M.2 lengths: multiple lengths compatible with standard M.2 modules
• Interface to host: USB‑C (data and power via compatible host)
• Installation: tool-free, hot‑swappable
• Use cases: file transfer, backup, cloning, diagnostics, portable storage

How to use

Open the docking station according to the product’s access method, insert the M.2 module in the correct orientation and secure it in place following the device’s guidance. Connect the docking station to a compatible host using a USB‑C cable. The host should recognise the drive automatically and make it available as an external storage device; no additional drivers are typically required for modern operating systems. Use standard file manager tools or cloning/backup software to read, write or image the SSD. Remove the drive after safely ejecting it from the operating system.

Usage recommendations

Use a USB‑C port that supports data and power for reliable operation. Verify the M.2 module type (SATA or NVMe) and the physical length before inserting. Always perform a safe eject or unmount operation on the host before removing the drive to prevent data loss. For long-term use or frequent cloning tasks, ensure adequate cooling and avoid operating in high-temperature environments.
