Know before you buy
This enclosure is specifically designed for M.2 NVMe SSDs with M-Key or B+M Key configurations. It does not support SATA-based M.2 SSDs, so please verify your drive type before installation.
The integrated cooling fan is designed to be quiet while maintaining optimal temperatures for your SSD. It works in tandem with the aluminum casing and thermal pad to prevent performance throttling during heavy data transfers.
Yes, the enclosure is backward compatible with USB 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, and 2.0 ports. However, you will only achieve the maximum 40Gbps transfer speeds when connected to a device that supports USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4.
No, this model does not support RAID. It is designed as a high-performance single-drive enclosure for M.2 NVMe SSDs up to 4TB.
No, this enclosure is not hot-swappable. You should safely eject the drive from your operating system and disconnect the cable before removing or replacing the SSD to prevent data corruption.
The enclosure supports the most common M.2 NVMe form factors, including 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280.
