## Questions & Answers

**Q: What m2 ssd to usb adapter supports this drive?**
A: Plugable USB C to M.2 NVMe Tool-free Enclosure USB C and Thunderbolt 3 Compatible up to USB 3.1 Gen 2 Speeds (10Gbps). Adapter Includes USB-C and USB 3.0 Cables (Supports M.2 NVMe SSDs 2280 2260 2242) $50 on Amazon or NewEgg. It uses a Realtek RTL9210b bridge chip and that chip supports the Linux fstrim command. Max theoretical speed 1000 gbps when attached to USB-C 3.2 gen 2. Max theoretical speed 500 gbps when attached to USB-A 3.2 gen 1. Plug unattached USB-A end of the cable a USB-A 3.1 port BEFORE attaching the other end to the enclosure. If you attach the USB-A end of the cable to a USB-A gen 3.1 port when the enclosure is attached to the other end, the computer may get confused and connect to it as a slower USB 2 device. There are no restrictions when connecting to a USB-C gen 3.2 port. NOTE. This is NOT a Thunderbolt but it will function at USB 3.2 gen 2 speeds if attached to a Thunderbolt 3 port.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ no brainer upgrade
*by A***O on 24 September 2023*

If you have an M.2 slot on your motherboard and want the fastest possible boot times, then this is a great option. It's not the fastest SSD on the market, but it's still very fast, and the difference between this and a high-end SSD is negligible in real-world use.One of the biggest advantages of this SSD is that it frees up a SATA port on your motherboard. This gives you more options for storage, such as adding another SSD or a traditional hard drive.The SSD comes well-packaged and is easy to install. Just be sure to keep the screw from the motherboard when you open up the M.2 slot.Overall, this is a great SSD for anyone looking for fast boot times and a free SATA port. It's not the cheapest SSD on the market, but it's worth the price for the performance and convenience it offers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick and easy upgrade to next gen storage.
*by E***O on 2 March 2021*

If you have an m.2 connector on your motherboard and fancy getting the fastest boot up time of your o/s then grab one of these.It not going to break any benchmarks, certainly compared to the top end competitors, but at some point those numbers just become theoretical. In real life using real life applications, you'd be hard pressed to notice the difference.There is a discernable difference between this and my existing ssd's, but it's not huge. The biggest advantage is the fact it frees up another sata port on my mobo, giving me the option of even more storage or perhaps adding a legacy device if needed.It comes well packaged and was simple to install, just make sure you retain the small screw from the motherboard when you open up the interface.Transferring data is as easy as migrating to any other ssd with some great free options available to help you through the process if you plan to move your o/s.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't Try to Install it Upside Down!
*by A***R on 2 May 2021*

For information of LincPlus Computers, China. Amazon PLC.Hello,Thank you so much for your quick response to my cry for help! I do hope that you and your family have enjoyed your holiday and will return to work refreshed.I am so sorry to have bothered you with my issue, which is now resolved. My problem was that I was unable to physically install an upgrade M.2 2280 SATA SSD into the slot provided in the laptop.I had read all the instructions provided with the computer and watched several YouTube videos that made installation incredibly easy. It is a procedure that could be undertaken by a ‘non-professional’. But I had spent hours, over several days, trying to slot the SSD into the motherboard without success. All the time I was conscious that too much force was likely to damage the card and/or the computer.I watched a video this morning that made the installation clear. Every video showed the module being installed with the label facing UPWARD. It is now clear that I had been trying to install the SSD card UPSIDE-DOWN. The problem was my own lack of knowledge because when I placed the module into the slot, with the label facing downwards, the SSD slipped effortlessly into place. I guess that many people have made the same mistake as me and it seems a pity that the memory manufacturers and/or the computer company hadn’t made the installation process more clear.It was my fault completely. I am sharing this experience with LincPlus, Amazon and the SSD manufacturers in the hope that the process can be clarified to prevent similar misunderstanding.Finally, I want to record how very much I value and enjoy my LincPlus P2 Laptop, especially now it is upgraded with 240 Gb additional memory. I would highly recommend that this laptop is considered a really good purchase and value for money.Oh, and I am certain that the Kingston SSD M.2 SATA 2280 is a great choice and would have installed perfectly - had it not been subjected to "Operator Error".Sincerely,William Aldington
