The StarTech 1:1 M.2 NVMe Drive Duplicator is a versatile device that functions as both a standalone drive duplicator and an external M.2 drive dock. It supports NVMe (M-Key) and SATA (B+M-Key) M.2 drives in various form factors (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, 22110), offering standalone data transfer speeds of up to 90GB per minute between its two M.2 slots. When used as a drive dock, it connects to your Windows, Mac, Chrome, or Linux system via a 20 Gb/s USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface, featuring LED indicators for power, progress, and SMART status, an audible completion alert, and active/passive cooling.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking. Available from $172.93.
Solid State Drives (SSDs) have no ongoing costs and consume minimal power. Their cost of ownership is entirely the upfront price per gigabyte.
Common Failure Modes
SSDs have no moving parts, making them immune to physical shock. Failures occur through flash memory wear-out from writing massive amounts of data or sudden controller death.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking.
SSDs have a finite number of write cycles, usually measured in Terabytes Written (TBW). For average consumers, this limit takes many years to reach.
