LENTION USB C to NVMe & SATA M.2 SSD Enclosure Review

LENTION has come up with a new USB-C to NVMe & SATA M.2 SSD Enclosure, known as the CB-C9b. This enclosure is designed to enhance the efficiency and storage of SSDs, both M key and B&M key. It is a compact design capable of supporting SSDs with sizes ranging between 2230/2242/2260/2280, making it universal for almost all SSD sizes. The speed of the transfer can reach up to 1GB/s, which is huge compared to ordinary enclosures.

This enclosure is relatively small, making it easy to carry around and use. The design is tool-free, meaning you don't need any tools like screwdrivers or wrenches – just push and open. There is an audible sound that comes with this action indicating successful opening or closing of the enclosure. This makes it easy to use and doesn't require any detailed instructions.

One exciting feature is its compatibility with Mac OS, Windows and Linux operating systems, which makes it so universal that it can be used on almost any system. This ensures that it is not limited to only one platform, and its users can access the enclosure irrespective of their operating system. This device utilises a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port, which improves its efficiency by offering faster transfer rates.

The enclosure supports NvMe and NGFF dual protocols, which guarantees high transfer speeds and performance. This feature is critical and may not be present in regular enclosures. With the LENTION CB-C9b enclosure, the protocol ensures that it can transfer huge files, movies and other media without any interruptions. This guarantees smooth transfer of data, making it a suitable tool for individuals who move around with their files a lot.

The device also uses excellent heat dissipation, which is vital in extending the lifespan of any electronic device. The hollowed-out bottom fin design helps discharge the heat in time, which improves heat dissipation efficiency and protects the chip and SSD from overheating. This feature is not often common with regular enclosures, but LENTION seems to have prioritized the user experience with this device.

However, it is essential to note that the enclosure might not support some brands of SSD such as Samsung 960/970 Pro/EVO Plus, ADATA SX6000/7000, Intel 600P/900P, TOSHIBA THNSN5 series, Patriot PS/PX series, WD BLACK and other brands of PCIe GEN3 X4 mobile hard drives that are popular among users. This is because this device can only achieve the best performance with some specific brands of SSD. Before purchasing the enclosure, it is essential to check the type of SSD for maximum compatibility and performance.

In conclusion, the LENTION CB-C9b is an excellent device that provides excellent value for its price. The device is compact, tool-free and easy to use, making it appealing to individuals looking for a portable solution for their SSDs. Its excellent heat dissipation feature ensures that the chip and SSD's lifespans are prolonged, which ensures that the device can operate for an extended period without any issues. The only drawback is that it may not support all brands of SSD, as previously mentioned. Therefore, users intending to use it with their SSDs should check compatibility before making a purchase.
