Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a SATA M.2 SSD in this enclosure?
A: No — the MDC1 is specifically designed for M.2 NVMe SSDs (not SATA protocol) in sizes 2230/2242/2260/2280. The spec sheet confirms NVMe only.
Q: Will I always get 10 Gbps real-world speeds?
A: The rated interface speed is up to 10 Gbps, but actual speeds will depend on your SSD’s performance, host device and USB port capabilities. Although 10 Gbps is supported, real transfers may be lower due to SSD or system limits.
