Paste the thermal conductive pad on the SSD and finally the thermal conductive plate on top (please remove the surface layers on both sides first). Finally push the plastic frame back into the Aluminium housing and lock the secure lock E by sliding the switch to the left.

Please note: If you want to clone SSDs, do not connect the USB 3.2 Dual M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure to your computer

Offline Clone Operation

• Install two M.2 NVMe SSDs* (the storage capacity of disk B (target disk) should be larger or equal to disk A (source disk), then connect the power supply to the enclosure.
• Press and hold the clone button A for about 3 seconds until all 4 blue LEDs light up, then release the button and quickly press it again, offline clone begins.
• 4 indicators of progress light up in blue when offline cloning is in progress, 25% > 50% > 75% > 100% flickers in turn, all 4 indicators light up when offline clone is done.

Read and Write Access to SSDs* (no cloning)

Please connect the included power supply and the USB Type C cable to the USB 3.2 Dual M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure. The operating system will install necessary drivers automatically and the Enclosure is now ready for use.

Reading of and writing on two SSDs simultaneously is supported.

Before unplugging the USB 3.2 Dual M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure make sure data transfer processes are completed to avoid data loss.

LED Indicators (from top to bottom)

• Power Indicator: lights up in green when the power is on.
• M.2 NVMe SSD Indicators: Light up in yellow when the M.2 NVMe SSD is inserted, flickers while reading and writing; the indicator is off in sleep mode.
• Offline Clone Progress Indicators:

Light up in blue when offline cloning is in progress: 25% > 50% > 75% > 100% flicker in turn, all 4 indicators light up when the clone process is finished;

- The LED of disk A flickers to report an error while the storage capacity of target disk (disk B) is less than source disk (disk A) during offline cloning.

*If you are using a new M.2 SSD, it must first be initialized, formatted and partitioned.
