## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this when with wd blue 3d nand sata ssd wds200t2b0b**
A: No, M.2 is only a form factor. Just like a 2.5' drive vs a 3.5" drive.

The *INTERFACE* is what matters, there are m.2 drives that come with SATA Interfaces and m.2 drives that use the NVMe interface (technically PCIe, NVMe is a standard/protocol) but it must be an NVMe drive.

**Q: What is the total storage capacity of this device?**
A: You can choose the storage capacity. The ASUS Arian is just an enclosure

**Q: Does the samsung data migration tool work with this? sabrent and plugable enclosures do not support samsung cloning software.**
A: Update to my previous response: 

I haven't been able to use Samsung Magician via USB. I couldn't even clone. But the enclosure works fine for everything with no complaints on speed when running windows 10. It's just Samsung can never make good software. Example: TIZEN, for galaxy smartwatches and Samsung smart tv etc...

Either use "windows 7 backup" in the control panel of windows 10 and create a system image to a large enough backup drive or i will use Hasleo WINTOUSB Professional. Both ways are fast. With the image creator you just need a flash drive with a fresh windows installer tool on it

**Q: Whats the difference between lite and regular??**
A: the lite apparently does not come with the USB A cable (just the C to C cable) and the rubber bumper and the carabiner

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good product. tricky to close
*by M***D on 8 April 2022*

Great product and nice design main problem form me is that it wasnt clear that the screw had a groove where the ssd should fit in order for the cover to fully close. I had to watch a youtube video.. all in all i really like the product and packaging.
