For optimal 40Gbps transfer speeds, ensure your device has a USB 4.0 or Thunderbolt 4 interface and that your operating system and NVMe firmware are updated to the latest versions. Backward compatibility will limit the speed, and some older devices may not recognize the enclosure.

5. Persediaan dan Pemasangan

Follow these steps to install your M.2 NVMe SSD into the GRAUGEAR enclosure.

1. Sediakan Lampiran: Using the provided screwdriver, carefully remove the screws securing the enclosure's cover. Gently slide open the enclosure to reveal the internal M.2 slot.
2. Pasang SSD: Align your 2280 M.2 NVMe SSD with the M-Key slot inside the enclosure. Insert the SSD firmly but gently into the slot at an angle. Once seated, press down the end of the SSD and secure it with the provided screw.
3. Sapukan Pad Terma: Peel off the protective films from both sides of the thermal pad. Carefully place the thermal pad onto the top surface of the installed SSD, ensuring it covers the main controller chip and NAND flash modules for effective heat transfer.
4. Pasang semula Kandang: Carefully slide the enclosure cover back into place, ensuring it aligns correctly. Secure the cover with the screws you removed earlier.
5. Sambung ke Peranti: Use the provided USB-C to USB-C cable to connect the enclosure to your computer or compatible device.

Nota Penting:

• Ensure the SSD is correctly oriented before insertion to prevent damage.
• Only 2280 M-Key NVMe SSDs are supported. Attempting to install other types may damage the enclosure or SSD.
• For new SSDs, you may need to initialize and format the drive through your operating system's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) before it can be used.

6. Arahan Operasi

6.1 Menyambung dan Memutuskan Sambungan

Connect the enclosure to your device using the supplied USB-C cable. The enclosure is plug-and-play and should be recognized automatically by compatible operating systems.
