FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which SSDs will fit inside the Netac WH51?
The caddy accepts M-Key NVMe and B+M-Key SATA drives in 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280 formats, up to 2 TB official capacity.
2. What transfer speeds can I expect over USB?
Over USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) an NVMe SSD reaches about 1 GB/s; a SATA stick tops out around 550 MB/s—far faster than portable HDDs.
3. Does the Netac WH51 support UASP and TRIM?
Yes—the Realtek RTL9210B bridge supports UASP acceleration and passes TRIM, keeping write speeds steady over time.
4. Is installation tool-free?
Absolutely. The aluminium shell uses a tool-free slide-and-latch design, so you can swap drives without a screwdriver.
5. Which operating systems are supported?
Plug-and-play with Windows, macOS and Linux; Android OTG phones/tablets, iPadOS, PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox consoles all detect it as USB storage.
6. Does it need an external power adaptor?
No—bus power over USB-C is enough. A 50 cm USB-C↔USB-C lead and a USB-A + C→USB-C combo cable are included.
7. How is heat handled—will my NVMe drive throttle?
The one-piece aluminium alloy body with cooling fins dissipates heat; typical temps stay under 45 °C. Add a thin thermal pad for heavy 4 K editing.
8. Does the enclosure sleep when idle?
Yes—it automatically enters hibernation after 15 minutes of inactivity, saving energy and reducing wear.
9. What is the maximum SSD capacity it recognises?
Netac guarantees up to 2 TB per drive; larger 4 TB NVMe sticks often work but aren’t officially certified.
10. Will a PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 SSD work?
Yes—new-generation drives are backward-compatible; they simply run at the enclosure’s USB 3.1 Gen 2 ceiling (~1 GB/s).
11. What accessories come in the box?
You receive the WH51 enclosure, USB-C↔USB-C cable, USB-A + C→USB-C cable and a quick-start leaflet—no extras needed.
12. How long is the warranty?
Netac backs the WH51 with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty against material or firmware defects.
