1. What interface protocols does this enclosure support?

The XF-S1011A supports 80Gbps natively, and is compatible with TBT3/4/5, USB4, USB 3.2, and USB 2.0. Its single USB-C port automatically adapts to the connected device’s protocol, ensuring broad compatibility with new and older laptops, tablets, or workstations.
 

2. Can it really reach 7000MB/s transfer speeds? What affects performance?

The 7000MB/s speed is tested under Intel TBT 5 environments with a high-performance M.2 NVMe SSD. Real-world speeds depend on:
  • Your SSD’s capabilities (e.g., PCIe 4.0/5.0, NVMe protocol).
  • The interface used (e.g., USB 3.2 will limit speeds to USB specs).
  • Cable quality (always use the included 80Gbps cable for max performance).
 

3. Is the smart fan noisy? How does it work?

The PWM-driven fan uses embedded temperature sensors to automatically adjust speed based on SSD load. It runs quietly at low speeds during light tasks (or may stay off entirely) and only ramps up under heavy workloads. Noise is minimal and won’t disrupt your workflow.
 

4. How do I install an SSD? Do I need tools?

Installation is straightforward:
  1. Open the enclosure (check the manual—most use tool-free clips or simple screws).
  2. Insert an M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD into the slot and secure it. Ensure the SSD’s size (2280) and form factor (NVMe) match the enclosure.
  3. Close the enclosure with screwdriver.
 

5. Which operating systems does it support?

The enclosure works with:
  • Windows 10/11 (TBT or USB-C ports).
  • macOS (requires a Mac with TBT 3/4/5 or USB-C support).
  • Linux (compatible with most distributions via native USB/TBT drivers).
    It’s plug-and-play for most systems, though some Linux setups may require driver tweaks.
 

6. Differences Between Single and Dual Protocol

Aspects Single - Protocol (XF-ST1010A) Dual - Protocol (XF-S1011A)
Protocol Support Compatible with TBT3/4/5 and USB4 Compatible with TBT5, TBT4, TBT3, USB4, USB3.2, and USB2.0
Host Interface Compatibility Works mainly with devices having TBT or USB4 - enabled USB - C ports Can connect to a wider range of devices, including those with older USB standards (USB3.2, USB2.0) via USB - C

Impact on User Scenarios

  • For Single - Protocol (XF - ST1010A):
    • Suitable Scenarios: Ideal for users whose devices are mostly equipped with TBT or USB4 interfaces, such as high - end laptops or desktops with the latest connectivity. For example, creative professionals using Thunderbolt - enabled MacBooks or Windows workstations for video editing, where they can leverage the high - speed TBT connection for fast data transfer of large 4K/8K video files. Gamers with TBT - equipped gaming laptops can also use it to expand storage for games and enjoy quick load times.
    • Limitations: May cause inconvenience if users need to connect to devices with older USB standards (like USB3.2, USB2.0) as it lacks direct compatibility, potentially restricting its use in some legacy device environments.
  • For Dual - Protocol (XF - S1011A):
    • Suitable Scenarios: Perfect for users with a diverse range of devices, including older ones with USB3.2 or USB2.0 ports. For instance, a business user who needs to transfer data between a 80Gbps - enabled laptop and an old USB3.2 - only desktop for work document backup can easily do so. It also caters to tech enthusiasts who might want to use the enclosure across different devices in a home or office with various interface standards.
