Four-Bay NVMe Enclosure for Creative Workflows

This enclosure holds up to four M.2 NVMe drives in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 lengths. A USB4 40Gbps host connection and ASMedia controller deliver up to 16Gbps per bay. SoftRAID supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and JBOD on Windows, plus RAID 0, 1 and JBOD on macOS. A 1-to-3 offline clone function duplicates drives without a host computer.

Active Cooling with Aluminium Chassis

An aluminium alloy body, magnetic cover, thermal pads and a built-in fan combine to dissipate heat during sustained transfers. The fan runs from the included 12V 5A adapter. Heat-dissipation holes add passive airflow across all four bays. The tool-free magnetic lid simplifies drive swaps while maintaining thermal contact.

Upgrade from Single-Bay or USB 10Gbps Docks

The four-bay layout replaces multiple single-drive enclosures for users managing separate project volumes. USB4 40Gbps bandwidth removes the bottleneck of 10Gbps USB links when reading or writing several NVMe drives simultaneously. Buyers who need more than four concurrent drives or a hardware RAID controller should consider a different form factor.

Questions about this item

How do I install an M.2 NVMe SSD into the magnetic aluminium cover without screws?

Open the magnetic cover, align the SSD notch with the M.2 slot at a slight angle, press down until it clicks flat, then snap the cover shut; the magnet holds the drive firmly without any tools.

What maintenance does the built-in cooling fan and thermal pads need over time?

Blow dust from the fan vents and heat-dissipation holes every few months; if a thermal pad becomes brittle or loses contact, replace it with a pad of the same thickness to keep each bay at 16Gbps throughput.

At what point does the 12V 5A power adapter limit sustained 40Gbps transfers across all four bays?

The adapter supplies 60W total; if combined SSD draw exceeds that during heavy RAID 0 or RAID 5 writes, the enclosure will throttle or disconnect drives to stay within the power budget.
