Grey 40Gbps NVMe Enclosure with Fan

This aluminium enclosure accepts a single M.2 NVMe SSD up to 8 TB and connects through a USB-C port that supports Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 at 40 Gbps. A built-in fan and thermal pad keep the drive cool during sustained transfers. The tool-free design fits 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 M-key modules.

For Thunderbolt and USB4 Workflows

Content creators and professionals who need maximum throughput on Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 hosts will benefit from the 40 Gbps link. Users with only USB 3.2 Gen 2 or older ports cannot reach the advertised speed, and the single-bay design does not suit multi-drive RAID setups.

40 Gbps Thunderbolt and USB4 Interface

The enclosure delivers its rated performance only when the host provides a Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 connection. On lesser USB-C ports the transfer rate falls back to the host's maximum capability, so verifying host support is the deciding factor.

Questions about this item

How loud is the built-in fan when the enclosure runs continuously at 40Gbps?

The aluminium body and integrated fan dissipate heat from the M.2 NVMe SSD during sustained 40Gbps transfers, keeping the drive at safe temperatures without requiring external power.

Which host port and cable are needed to reach the 40Gbps rating?

A Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 Type-C port is required; the included 30 cm 2-in-1 cable connects the enclosure to that port.

Will a 2280 M-key NVMe SSD work alongside an older USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C laptop port?

Yes — the 2280 M-key drive fits the enclosure, and the USB 3.2 Gen 2 host will operate the device at its own 10Gbps limit.
