Perfect cooling
The patented cooling plate transfers the resulting waste heat from the SSD to the housing and cools the SSD down optimally. This prevents the otherwise usual early reduction of the transfer rate to protect from

Your time is valuable.
The IB-1817Ma-C31 is compatible with M.2 cards of 30, 42, 60, and 80 mm length, operating system-independent, and suitable for a variety of applications such as high-speed storage, cloning a drive, or running a mobile operating system. All this happens with a data transfer rate of up to 1000 MB per second. Compared to data transfer with a SATA drive, a data volume of 50 gigabytes is now transferred in 50 seconds instead of 1:36 minutes.
Click - Safe
With the IB-1817Ma-C31, sensitive data on the installed M.2 SSD can be protected from changes by a switch and released again. The write protection switch can be moved to the desired position using the supplied mini tool and a small hand movement. Click - safe.

FAQ
What is M.2?
What form factors are available?
M.2 SSDs are rectangular and have a male connector on each short side and a small recess on the other side to fix the SSD to the corresponding slot with a screw. Depending on the storage capacity, the SSDs are available with single-sided or double-sided PCBs.
What are M.2 Keys?
Compatibility to the host computer?
Is a M.2 PCIe SSD with NVMe protocol faster than a M.2 SATA SSD with AHCI protocol?
How do I know which M.2 drives work in this device?
Is a special driver required?
How do I install the SSD correctly?
-Make sure that the socket and the SSD fit together perfectly and without resistance (principle: tongue and groove).
-Now carefully push the SSD down onto the PCB and fix the SSD with the included screw.
If you use a heat sink, place the heat pad on the heat sink and place the heat sink on the SSD.
-Make sure that the heat pad and the heat sink do not protrude over the SSD.
The enclosure becomes warm during use.
How to cool my SSD?
Can the enclosure also be connected to USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports?
What happens if I plug an M.2 SSD PCIe 3.0 x4/NVMe into a port that only supports PCIe x2?
My new SSD is not recognized by the operating system, why?
Everything is connected, but no function.
Cables
SSD
Enclosure
To test your components, follow the steps below:
Use the cables, SSD and enclosures in a different configuration to see if the problem is with the components or the configuration In your setup.
Use a different cable, SSD and enclosure to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in a different setup.
The SSD is not recognized by the operating system.
Please check if the driver software is installed (USB).
Sometimes it can be possible that the M.2-SSD slot has to share the PCIe lanes with other devices. In this case, one of the interfaces may be deactivated. Please refer to the documentation of your motherboard and activate the M.2 SSD in BIOS mode.
My Samsung 970 EVO Plus is not recognized.
You can update the firmware using the Samsung "Samsung Magician" tool.
How do I activate write protection?
• Using the supplied tool, slide the write-protect switch to the left, to the closed lock.
• Then connect the IB-1817M-C31 to your host computer.
• The write protection is now activated. This is indicated by the red status LED.
Under MacOS I cannot read the SMART data
A tool that supports this is for example "smartmontools".
