THE TCM2-C3 & PCM2-C3

Both enclosures are nearly identical so the TCM2-C3 measures 108mm in length, 34mm in width and 11.5mm in height while the PCM2-C3 measures 104mm in length, 29mm in width and 10mm in height.

In terms of external connectors both drives have the USB type-C ports at the front (the interior activity LEDs are located at the rear).

The TCM2-C3 may seem slightly "weaker" in terms of heat dissipation but at the same time its clear plastic enclosure looks nice.

Both enclosures can open just by sliding their top ends.

As mentioned earlier the JMicron JMS583 USB 3.1 Gen 2 to PCIe Gen3x2 Bridge Controller is the core of these enclosures.

In order to maximize the performance of both enclosures for our tests we used the P34A80 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD by Silicon Power (review here).
