Orico TCM2-U4 M.2 NVMe 40Gbps Enclosure

This USB 4.0 enclosure accepts a single M.2 2280 NVMe SSD up to 4TB and connects through a USB-C port at 40Gbps. The aluminium and plastic body uses a thermal vest for heat dissipation without a fan. A tool-free design lets you install the drive in seconds and the supplied 11.81 inch cable provides both USB-C to C and USB-C to A connectors.

Suits creators moving large media files

The 40Gbps link and 2800MB/s sequential potential suit creators who need fast external scratch storage on Windows, Mac or Linux. It will not work with SATA or M.2 PCIe AHCI drives, so buyers who have those modules should look elsewhere. The single-bay layout also means users wanting RAID or multiple simultaneous drives need a different solution.

40Gbps USB 4.0 interface

The enclosure reaches its advertised 40Gbps and 2800MB/s only when the host port is USB 4.0; on USB 3.2, 3.1 or 3.0 the speed drops to 10Gbps or lower. No AC adapter is included, so the SSD draws power entirely from the host connection.

Questions about this item

Will this enclosure work with my older laptop that only has USB 3.0 ports?

Yes, it is backward compatible with USB 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0, though speeds will be limited to the host port capability.

How can I verify the 40 Gbps link is active after connecting the drive?

Check the host device reports a USB 4.0 40 Gbps connection and run a benchmark; sequential reads up to 2800 MB/s confirm full performance.

What comes in the box and what must I supply myself?

The package includes the enclosure, a 11.81 inch C-to-C/A cable, cooling vest, manual and two plastic buckles; you must provide an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD.
