Overview
External Enclosure for M.2 NVMe SSD USB4 40 Gb/s Drives 2230 to 2280 up to 8 TB Aluminium Case with Cooling Fins Grey for Mac and PC

The external enclosure transforms an internal M.2 NVMe drive into fast portable storage that you can connect to a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet with a single USB-C cable. The case uses the USB4 interface with speeds of up to 40 Gb/s and is compatible with Thunderbolt 5, 4, and 3, making it suitable for devices such as the Mac mini M4 or MacBook Pro. Inside, it features the ASM2464PD controller, which, according to the manufacturer's lab tests, achieved read speeds of around 3,704 MB/s and write speeds of around 3,683 MB/s. You can insert a drive measuring 2230, 2242, 2260, or 2280 with a capacity of up to 8 TB into the enclosure. This enclosure is ideal for backing up photos and videos, transferring large projects, and expanding your computer's storage.

The body of the case is made from aluminium alloy and features cooling fins on both sides that dissipate heat from the drive into the surrounding environment. Heat transfer from the SSD to the casing is ensured by the included thermal conductive silicone pad rated at 2 W/m·K. The enclosure operates without a fan, making it completely silent. There is an LED indicator on the side that shows when the drive is in operation, and anti-slip pads allow you to position the enclosure vertically, saving desk space.

Installing the drive is straightforward: use the included screwdriver to open the cover, insert the M.2 drive, place the thermal pad, and close the cover again. The new drive needs to be initialised and formatted in the system before first use. For some devices with built-in Thunderbolt interfaces, updating the system or firmware may be required for full USB4 speeds. The enclosure is not designed for drives with their own cooling system. The surface can be wiped with a dry soft cloth.

This enclosure is a practical choice for anyone needing to transfer large files quickly and without delay. The combination of 40 Gb/s speeds with passive cooling and a sturdy metal body makes it a reliable accessory for working with video, photos, and games. Its compact dimensions of 122 x 66 x 27 mm allow you to carry the enclosure in a bag or backpack alongside your laptop. With support for drives up to 8 TB, you can create high-capacity portable storage tailored to your needs. The SSD drive is not included.
