Warnings and limitations
Data first: an enclosure can expose a drive; it cannot guarantee the integrity of the data already on it. Keep independent backups before migration, repartitioning or firmware work.
Power: bus power depends on the host. If detection resets under load, remove unpowered hubs and use the supplied cable on a stronger direct port.
Heat: warmth can be normal, especially with NVMe. Stop use for smoke, burning smell, deformation, liquid ingress, repeated drop-outs or abnormal mechanical HDD sounds.
Handling: protect bare drives from electrostatic discharge; hold an SSD by its edges, avoid touching gold contacts and never move a spinning 3.5-inch HDD roughly.
Removal: wait for all writes, eject in the OS, allow the activity indicator to settle, then disconnect. Auto-sleep is not a substitute for safe removal.
Package contents
Verified pictured items: 1 × UGREEN 35267 enclosure and 1 × USB-C-to-USB-C data cable; SSD is not included. Retain any supplied thermal pad/sleeve from the sealed box
No host computer, phone, tablet, console, TV, router, SSD/HDD, cloning software or data-recovery service is included unless explicitly named above.
Research reconciliation: Current exact UGREEN source and live gallery agree on NVMe-only M/B+M keying, four M.2 lengths, 10Gbps USB, RTL9210, aluminum cooling and 8TB. Generic compatibility lists that mix SATA model names were not used to redefine the NVMe-only boundary.
Product-specific FAQ
What is UGREEN 35267 made to do?
Houses one M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD and exposes it as compact USB-C storage through a 10Gbps-class bridge. It is an enclosure/bridge, not a drive; storage media is not included.
Which drives fit?
M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, M-key or NVMe B+M-key, sizes 2230/2242/2260/2280, drive thickness below 3.5mm. Not for M.2 SATA/NGFF, mSATA, 2.5-inch SATA, 3.5-inch SATA or SSDs with a pre-installed heatsink.
Does it support both SATA and NVMe?
No. This exact model is for M.2 PCIe NVMe only; M.2 SATA/NGFF and mSATA are not supported.
What is the real maximum speed?
10Gbps is the USB link ceiling, not an SSD benchmark. PCIe NVMe drives may be capable of far more internally, but the enclosure/host path limits them; small files, host controller, SSD cache and temperature reduce real throughput. Link-rate labels are theoretical and should not be read as a guaranteed benchmark.
What capacity is supported?
Up to 8TB on the current exact UGREEN source. Capacity support does not guarantee that every TV, router, console or old operating system can address or format the same size.
Will a new drive appear immediately?
The enclosure can be detected while a blank drive still has no volume. Use the correct disk utility to initialise, partition and format a new drive. Double-check the disk identity because formatting destroys existing data.
Can it clone or migrate my system?
It provides external access to the installed drive but does not perform standalone cloning. Use reliable cloning/backup software, confirm the target has sufficient usable capacity, keep the original untouched until verification and handle encrypted/boot volumes according to the OS vendor’s guidance.
Can I use it with a console, TV or router?
Possibly: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS/USB-C devices and ChromeOS are listed/illustrated, provided the host supports USB mass storage and can supply adequate power. The host may require a specific file system, partition scheme, capacity, power budget or dedicated “extended storage” format. Those rules can erase the drive and are controlled by the host, not by the enclosure.
Why is the drive not detected?
Power down and reseat the drive, confirm its protocol/form factor, try the supplied cable directly on another suitable host port, and inspect Disk Management/Disk Utility rather than only the file browser. Do not format an unknown drive with valuable data.
Is warmth normal, and how should I disconnect?
NVMe SSDs and aluminum housings can become warm during sustained transfers. Keep vents and the thermal path clear, allow airflow, stop if there is an abnormal smell or repeated disconnect, then eject the volume and wait for activity to finish before unplugging.
What is included?
Verified pictured items: 1 × UGREEN 35267 enclosure and 1 × USB-C-to-USB-C data cable; SSD is not included. Retain any supplied thermal pad/sleeve from the sealed box.
Exact-model check before ordering
Match SKU 35267, the supported drive protocol/form factor, capacity guidance, supplied cable and the host’s data capability. Similar-looking UGREEN enclosures can differ in SATA versus NVMe, USB-A versus USB-C, power requirements and speed ceilings.
