Single-bay Thunderbolt 5 NVMe enclosure

The Acasis TB501Pro is a tool-free aluminium enclosure that accepts one M.2 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 NVMe SSD up to 8 TB. A built-in fan and thermal pads cool the drive while a Thunderbolt 5 link delivers up to 80 Gbps bandwidth for professional editing and fast portable storage.

Suited for single-drive Thunderbolt workflows

Creative professionals who need one high-speed NVMe drive on Thunderbolt 5, 4 or 3 ports will benefit from the dual-chip JHL9480 plus RTL9210 design and plug-and-play operation on Windows, Mac and Linux. Builders who require multiple drive bays, hardware RAID or operation without the supplied power adapter should consider other form factors.

80 Gbps Thunderbolt 5 interface

The single specification that determines fit is the Thunderbolt 5 connection rated at 80 Gbps, enabling real-world transfers up to 6000 MB/s with PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs such as the Samsung 9100 Pro. If the host port is limited to Thunderbolt 3 or USB4 1.0 speeds the enclosure will negotiate a lower rate.

Questions about this item

Does my computer need a Thunderbolt 5 port to use the TB501Pro enclosure?

It works with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB4 V1.0 and USB 3.2/3.1/3.0 ports, but the 80Gbps bandwidth is only available on Thunderbolt 5 or USB4 V1.0 hosts.

Will a PCIe Gen5 NVMe drive such as the Samsung 9100 Pro run at full speed in this enclosure?

The dual JHL9480 and RTL9210 chip design supports PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs, so a Gen5 drive can reach up to 6000MB/s when connected to a Thunderbolt 5 or USB4 V1.0 host.

How do I confirm the enclosure is delivering the advertised 80Gbps performance after setup?

Run a sequential read/write benchmark on the installed NVMe SSD; speeds approaching 6000MB/s indicate the Thunderbolt 5 or USB4 V1.0 link is operating at full 80Gbps bandwidth.
