Review on 💿 Bawanfa NVME M.2 SSD Clone Enclosure: USB C 3.1 Gen2 Dual-Bay 10Gbps External Aluminum Nvme Drive Duplicator Tool-Free by Sergio Guardado

Since the holidays I've been updating the computers for all my extended family members. With the pandemic, everyone is spending more time at their home PCs trying to upgrade them in some way. Anyway, I've upgraded HDDs to SSDs and small SSDs to large SSDs. I got a standalone duplicator which helped me a lot with this task until I realized that the new NVMe SSDs require me to plug them into adapters to use this dock. I figured since NVMe SSDs are the new standard it might be a good idea to get a duplicator/dock. I use this device in two ways: 1) for duplicating drives and 2) for externally mounting NVMe drives without having to install them on the computer, so I'll comment on those functions separately. 1) As a copier, it's quite easy to use and certainly frees me from doing it manually with software on the computer. It's also useful because I don't have to install partitioning software on other people's computers when I'm away from my desk. It also makes OS disk cloning much easier as no files are locked by the OS while they are in use. And finally, it makes me look like some kind of technical genius. The most important thing to remember when cloning a drive with this dock is that it marks the copied drive as offline. You can see this in one of my photos, and it's important because if you just plug the dock into a Windows PC, you'll think the drive isn't copying, it's copying. 2) As a hard disk case, it is also very practical. Since upgrading drives in the family, I still have a few 128GB and 256GB drives left that are still useful, so I used this dock as an adapter to clean up drives and store data on them for their owners . as a kind of static backup of photos and/or documents. The case/dock is finally getting hot! I measured it at 105 degrees F (40 degrees C) with an infrared thermometer, but the rims inside were much hotter at 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), which I think means the aluminum body was absorbing heat. Oh, and for the record, cloning a 250GB SSD took about 8-9 minutes. In any case, it's a very handy tool if you're working with NVMe drives at all.
