Compact, robust, and packed with features, this dual-bay SSD enclosure is the ultimate solution for efficient and secure data storage. Review: Very disappointing! Far from the claimed 20 Gbps claimed it barely hits 7 Gps on a high powered MacBook Pro. Its very sluggish reading photos let alone video editing. Tested with a Samsung 990 Pro 4 TB SSD which hits 35 Gbps in an Acasis USB4 enclosure. Review: The reality is there really are not a lot of choices in a compact, light, dual bay, high transfer rate, RAID NVME enclosure, so don't expect the world. This device does have some quirks, but judging the product as a whole and for this price I find it to be quite good. Setup is fairly straightforward. Set the switches where you want them for the mode you want, plug it in, press the button. How long you press the button is tricky. Too short, it won't do anything. Too long, it won't do anything. You have to press it just long enough for one of the blue lights to blink and then you must let the button go immediately. Once you get that timing right, it will very quickly do its thing and confirm that the mode is now set by steadily lighting up the appropriate blue light next to the RAID you selected (printed on the circuit card). Then you must go to disk management and initialize the disk, create your volume, etc. I choose RAID 1 (mirror), so my review is based entirely on that mode only. I am using two different budget model/brand leftover 1TB drives from yesteryear. One is a Gen 3x4 and the other is a Gen 4x4, with both claiming 3500MB/s+ reads an 3000MB/s+ writes. As for powering the device, sometimes it will work with just the data cable and sometimes you will need both data and power cable. It depends on the computer's ports. My 2025 ultra light laptop with TB4/USB4 and USB3.2 2x2 ports only needs the data cable. My 2018 desktop with its single USB3.2 2x2 port via a PCIE add on card cannot power the device, so I need to use a data cable and a power cable for that one to work. However, if you want the maximum speed out of this thing, you must use both the data and power cable regardless. The manual makes no mention of this, so I can see lots of folks being disappointed because they never had to try the power cable and therefore never saw those faster speeds. The power cable draws 2-5W under load. No power cable: CrystalDiskMark - 1050MB/s reads and 1020MB/s writes Actual transfers (large video files) - 900-1000MB/s reads and 550-650MB/s writes Yes power cable: CrystalDiskMark - 1750MB/s reads and 1200MB/s writes Actual transfers (large video files) - 1200-1500MB/s reads and 600-750MB/s writes. Oddly, cutting files from the enclosure (as opposed to copying from) are slower to transfer. You are actually better off copying and then deleting vs cutting on all ports I tried. The ports matter. Not all TB3/4/5 ports support 2x2 lane; some manufactures do implement it and others do not, its not required for them to do so. I do believe all USB4 supports 2x2 lane, and obviously USB3.2 2x2 supports it. MacBook TB ports do not support 2x2 lane, so just be aware on that computer you'll likely be limited to 10Gbps speeds. I ran CrystalDiskMark on a loop with max file size and max iterations for about 20 minutes straight as a stress test. I measured a max temperature of 106F on the top side and 104F on the bottom side, but found the temps did evenly distribute around the whole surface of the case quite well. After the stress test I let it idle (but still plugged in) for 10 minutes and measured about 100F all around the case. I find the cooling performance to be excellent. Four thermal pads are included. Overall, I find this to be a solid performer within certain limitations and quirks as mentioned above. While it can work on some computer ports with only the data cable, you must also use the power cable if you want the faster transfer speeds. You must have a port that has implemented 2x2 lane feature to get the best speeds out of this enclosure, but it will still be decently fast if you don't. I do wish there was rubber feet or cover available for this. If these went on sale in the future, I might pick up a second one. ## Features - Versatile RAID Modes: Supports RAID 0 for high-speed performance, RAID 1 for data redundancy, JBOD for independent drive usage, and Clone mode for direct disk duplication; If you have important data that can't get lost, the RAID 1 mode of this enclosure is what you need, it will always automatically have a backup of your file in one of your SSDs - Tool-Free Installation: Easily open the SSD enclosure cover without using any tools, making it convenient to switch and ************************************************************* SSDs; This feature will help you improve the efficiency when you're using the clone mode of this device, it's very convenient to install and uninstall SSDs without any tool - Durable Aluminum, Compact Design: The sturdy aluminum casing offers superior heat dissipation and lightweight portability, ideal for professionals on the move - High-Speed Data Transfer: With 20Gbps transfer speeds, it's perfect for large file handling, backups, and data-intensive tasks - Supports External Power Supply: Designed for high-capacity SSDs like 8TB or 16TB, this dual-bay enclosure includes an extra USB-C port for external power. If your laptop or computer's USB port can't provide enough power to run both drives, simply connect an external power source for smooth operation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DNRZLRMK | | Best Sellers Rank | 183,413 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 813 in Enclosures | | Box Contents | Hard Drive Enclosure, Ssd Enclosure | | Brand Name | NEWQ | | Colour | Blue | | Compatible Devices | M.2 2280 Ssd, Nvme Ssd | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (45) | | Data Transfer Rate | 20 Gigabits Per Second | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Hardware Interface | PCI Express 3.0 | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Weight | 0.46 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | NEWQ | | Memory Storage Capacity | 16 TB | | Supported Devices Quantity | 2 | | The Standard Size of the Hard Drive or the Bay the Hard Drive Is Compatible With (in inches) | 2.5 Inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** NEWQ - **Colour:** Blue - **Hardware interface:** PCI Express 3.0 - **Hardware platform:** PC - **Material:** Metal ## Images ![Dual Bay Raid SSD Enclosure: 2280 M2 Hard Drive Enclosure with Clone Mode & Raid 0/1 & JBOD Mode, 20Gbps Compatible to PCIe NVMe Harddrive Cloning HDD, Offline Duplicator - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PTrF8QNYL.jpg) ![Dual Bay Raid SSD Enclosure: 2280 M2 Hard Drive Enclosure with Clone Mode & Raid 0/1 & JBOD Mode, 20Gbps Compatible to PCIe NVMe Harddrive Cloning HDD, Offline Duplicator - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jJRUOZPqL.jpg) ![Dual Bay Raid SSD Enclosure: 2280 M2 Hard Drive Enclosure with Clone Mode & Raid 0/1 & JBOD Mode, 20Gbps Compatible to PCIe NVMe Harddrive Cloning HDD, Offline Duplicator - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uzzOJUO8L.jpg) ![Dual Bay Raid SSD Enclosure: 2280 M2 Hard Drive Enclosure with Clone Mode & Raid 0/1 & JBOD Mode, 20Gbps Compatible to PCIe NVMe Harddrive Cloning HDD, Offline Duplicator - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610NRCTiVxL.jpg) ![Dual Bay Raid SSD Enclosure: 2280 M2 Hard Drive Enclosure with Clone Mode & Raid 0/1 & JBOD Mode, 20Gbps Compatible to PCIe NVMe Harddrive Cloning HDD, Offline Duplicator - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618J4xHM6TL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Review *by B***E on 5 September 2025* Very disappointing!
