Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to install your NVMe M.2 SSD into the JEYI I9-Seal enclosure:

  1. Prepare the Enclosure: Gently slide open the enclosure to reveal the internal PCB.
  2. Apply Thermal Pad: Peel off the protective films from both sides of a thermal pad and carefully place it onto the NVMe SSD chip area. This aids in heat dissipation.
  3. Insert NVMe SSD: Align your NVMe M.2 SSD (2280 form factor only) with the M-Key slot on the PCB. Insert the SSD firmly but gently into the slot at an angle.
  4. Secure the SSD: Once inserted, gently push down the SSD and secure it with the provided screw using the included screwdriver. Ensure the SSD is flat and securely fastened.
  5. Close the Enclosure: Carefully slide the enclosure cover back into place until it clicks securely.

Operating Instructions

Once your NVMe SSD is securely installed, connect the enclosure to your device:

  1. Connect to Device: Use either the provided USB-C to USB-C cable or the USB-A to USB-C cable to connect the enclosure to a compatible USB port on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or game console.
  2. Power Indicator: A small LED indicator on the enclosure will illuminate, signifying that the device is powered on and connected.
  3. Disk Recognition: Your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) should automatically detect the new storage device. If it's a new SSD, you may need to initialize and format it through Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) before use.
  4. Data Transfer: You can now perform data backup, file transfers, disk upgrades, data recovery, or use it for storage expansion. The enclosure supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds up to 10Gbps.

Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your JEYI I9-Seal enclosure:

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Enclosure not detected by computer.
  • Loose cable connection.
  • SSD not properly installed.
  • SSD not initialized/formatted.
  • Faulty USB port or cable.
  • Ensure cables are securely connected.
  • Re-open enclosure and verify SSD is seated correctly and screwed in.
  • Check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to initialize and format the SSD.
  • Try a different USB port or cable.
Slow data transfer speeds.
  • Connected to a slower USB port (e.g., USB 2.0).
  • Thermal throttling due to high temperature.
  • SSD performance limitations.
  • Connect to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) compatible port.
  • Ensure thermal pads are correctly installed. Allow the enclosure to cool if it becomes excessively hot.
  • Verify your NVMe SSD's rated speed.
Enclosure gets very hot.
  • Normal operation during heavy data transfer.
  • Ineffective thermal pad contact.
  • This is expected as the aluminum casing dissipates heat.
  • Ensure thermal pads are correctly positioned and making good contact with the SSD and enclosure.
