Frequently Asked Questions - U4572M2SATAG2 Tripp Lite

What types of M.2 SATA drives are compatible with the U4572M2SATAG2 enclosure?

The enclosure supports M.2 SATA (NGFF) drives of types 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. It is compatible with SATA III (6 Gbps), SATA II (3 Gbps), and SATA I (1.5 Gbps) SSDs and HDDs. Tested with drives up to 2 TB.

What is the maximum transfer rate?

The maximum data rate is 10 Gbps in USB 3.1 Gen 2. To achieve this speed, the host computer must have a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port and a UASP controller. The enclosure is backward compatible with USB 3.0, 2.0, and 1.1.

Is the power adapter included?

No, the power adapter is not included. Power is typically supplied via the computer's USB port. If additional power is needed, you can use a 5V/2A adapter with a 3.5 × 1.3 × 8 mm output plug (center positive).

How to install a drive in the enclosure?

1. Remove the tray from the enclosure. 2. Connect up to two 2.5-inch SATA drives to the tray connectors. 3. Secure the drives with the provided standoffs and screws. 4. Reinsert the tray into the enclosure and screw it in. 5. Attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the enclosure. 6. Connect the USB-C cable to the computer and enclosure, then turn on with the ON/OFF switch.

Does the enclosure require drivers?

No, the enclosure is plug-and-play without installing additional drivers. It is automatically recognized by all USB operating systems.

What to do if the drive is not recognized?

Check that the drive is properly installed and the switch is set to ON. Ensure the drive is formatted (use your OS's disk management utility). Try a different cable or USB port. If the problem persists, test with another drive.

How to safely disconnect the enclosure?

Use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' feature of your operating system before disconnecting the USB cable. Sudden disconnection may cause data loss or corruption.

What is the warranty of the U4572M2SATAG2 enclosure?

Tripp Lite offers a one-year limited warranty from the date of purchase, covering defects in materials and workmanship. For service, contact Tripp Lite or an authorized center with an RMA number.

Is the enclosure compatible with Thunderbolt 3?

Yes, the enclosure can be used via a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port. However, the data rate will be limited to USB 3.1 Gen 2 speed (10 Gbps). It works with all standard USB-C ports.

Does the enclosure support UASP mode?

Yes, the enclosure is UASP compatible, which can improve performance by up to 70% compared to standard BOT mode, provided the host computer's controller also supports UASP.

Powering the Unit

Note: the U457-2M2-SATAG2 is compatible with 5V 2A power supplies that use a 3.5 × 1.3 × 8 mm output plug with a positive tip and negative sleeve.

Installation

Notes:

• HDD/SSD drives are sensitive to static electricity and must be handled properly to avoid the risk of data loss. Always handle your HDD/SSD drive with caution by wearing an anti-static strap (such as Tripp Lite P999-000) or by touching a grounded metal surface to discharge yourself of static electricity prior to touching or handling the drive.
• When disconnecting a connected drive, follow the proper disconnection steps of your operating system to safely disconnect. Removing the drive prior to proper disconnection can result in loss or corruption of data stored on the drive.

• If your SATA drive has not yet been formatted, format it using your computer's disk management utility in order to copy and access files.

• Slide the USB to SATA drive tray out of the drive enclosure.

• Connect up to two 2.5" HDD/SSD to the SATA connectors on the drive tray.
• Insert the provided drive mount screws between the drive mount holes on the top and side of the drive tray and the drive. Fasten the screws using the included screwdriver.
• Slide the USB to SATA connector piece with the installed hard drive back into the drive enclosure.
• Using the included enclosure screws, secure the drive tray by matching up and affixing the screws into place on the bottom of the drive enclosure with the included screwdriver so the tray is firmly in place. To prevent possible sliding, adhere the included rubber feet over the screw holes.
• Connect the included USB 3.1 Gen 2 Cable to the USB Type-C port on the unit and the USB Type-C port on your computer.
