Advantages

The enclosure provides high-speed PCIe NVMe support up to the host's maximum USB 40 Gbps capability while remaining compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports as well as USB-C ports. It features a side LED light bar plus a power LED for connection status indication, tool-free SSD installation for quick media changes, and an integrated switchable fan in the base for active cooling. The compact aluminium/metal housing is finished in grey.

Suitable for

• Portable high-speed external storage for laptops and desktops
