Frequently Asked Questions - U4571M2NVMEG2 Tripp Lite

Which types of M.2 SSDs does this enclosure support?

This enclosure supports M.2 NVMe PCIe M-Key SSDs only. It does not support SATA B-Key/M+B Key SSDs or M.2 PCIe-AHCI SSDs. Compatible sizes are: 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280.

How to install an SSD in the enclosure?

Use the included mini screwdriver to remove the two screws on each side of the USB-C port, then remove the cover plate. Slide the PCBA board out of the enclosure. Place the SSD next to the M.2 NVMe M-Key connector, align the mounting holes, and insert the nut under the hole corresponding to the SSD length. Connect the SSD at an angle to minimize stress, then secure it with the mounting screw. Reinsert the board, then screw the cover plate back on.

Is the enclosure compatible with UASP and what are the benefits?

Yes, it is UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) compatible. This allows read performance up to 70% faster and write performance up to 40% faster compared to the standard BOT protocol.

How to format a new SSD in the enclosure?

If the SSD is not formatted, open your operating system's disk management utility. On Windows, right-click on 'Disk Management' and select 'Manage'. Right-click on the new disk, choose 'New Simple Volume', and follow the instructions. The partition size should not exceed the maximum disk space.

What cable is included with the enclosure?

The enclosure comes with a 0.6m (2 ft) USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C cable. You can also use optional cables sold separately: U420-003-G2 (Type-C to Type-C, 0.9m) or U428-003-G2 (Type-C to USB-A, 0.9m).

What to do if the LED indicator does not blink during transfer?

Check that the cable is properly connected and the SSD is correctly installed. Ensure the SSD is formatted and recognized by the system. If the problem persists, try a different USB port or cable. The blue LED blinks only during read/write operations.

Can I use this enclosure with a computer that does not have a USB-C port?

Yes, because the enclosure is backward compatible with USB 3.0, 2.0, and 1.1. You can use a USB-C to USB-A cable (like the optional U428-003-G2) to connect to a standard USB-A port.

What precautions should be taken when handling the SSD?

SSDs are sensitive to static electricity. Wear an anti-static wrist strap or touch a grounded metal surface before handling the SSD. Always disconnect the enclosure before installing or removing the SSD. Follow the operating system's safe removal procedure before disconnecting the enclosure to avoid data loss.

What is the warranty period and how to use it?

The limited warranty is 3 years from the date of purchase. To activate it, you must obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number from Tripp Lite or an authorized center. Return the product with prepaid shipping, a description of the problem, and proof of purchase. The warranty does not cover accidental damage or modifications.

Where to find the product serial number?

The serial number is on the product's rating label, along with approval marks and other regulatory information. It is important to refer to it for any compliance or service inquiries.
