USB4 external enclosure for NVMe drives with high speed
The fast external AXAGON EEM2-40G ARMORED enclosure with USB4 interface allows you to take full advantage of the high performance of M.2 NVMe SSD drives with minimal throttling and stable operation. Transfer speed up to 40 Gb/s and wide compatibility including Thunderbolt interface make it a reliable solution for demanding use, for example when working with a MacBook. The durable aluminium body also serves as a passive heatsink and, together with the silicone sleeve, protects the device during everyday use. Backup of up to 1 TB of data in approximately 10 minutes, editing 4K video directly from an external drive, or reusing an older NVMe SSD as fast portable storage – all this can be handled with a single device. The package includes a USB-C 40Gbps cable.

40Gbps speed for data transfer without waiting
Lengthy copying of large files or the limitations of standard flash drives can significantly slow down your work. Thanks to the USB4 interface with speeds up to 40 Gb/s, this NVMe enclosure significantly reduces data transfer time and enables smoother work without unnecessary delays. The heart of the enclosure is the top-tier ASMedia ASM2464PD chipset, which maintains stable speed even under high load and long-term use. When using a fast NVMe SSD, up to 1 TB of data can be transferred in approximately 10 minutes (depending on the performance of the drive and host device).

Support for NVMe M.2 drives without capacity limitations
The enclosure is designed for M.2 NVMe SSD drives. It supports formats 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 mm in both single-sided and double-sided variants, without capacity limitations (including drives with capacities of 4 TB and higher). UASP support helps achieve more efficient data transfer, while TRIM support helps maintain SSD performance over time. The ability to read S.M.A.R.T. information allows monitoring of drive status.

No more worries about compatibility
Uncertainty whether an external drive will work with your device is a common issue. This USB4 external enclosure is backward compatible with older USB standards and supports Thunderbolt 3, 4 and 5, so it can be easily connected to both modern and older devices. Suitable for computers, laptops and MacBooks with a USB-C port, with support for Windows, macOS and Linux. It can also be used with mobile phones and tablets. Maximum transfer speed depends on the device used.

Simply insert the drive and start working
Opening with a single screw allows quick installation and replacement of the M.2 NVMe SSD drive. The internal design ensures easy insertion and secure fixing. Plug & Play operation without the need to install drivers is a matter of course. An ideal solution for fast data transfer between devices and storage expansion.

Efficient cooling for stable performance
The aluminum body and thoughtful thermal design of the enclosure act as an effective passive heatsink that dissipates heat from the SSD drive and helps maintain stable performance without slowdowns caused by „Thermal Throttling". This helps keep the drive temperature at a safe level even under higher load. Passive cooling excels over active cooling (with a fan) with completely silent operation, reliability and energy efficiency. The silicone sleeve protects the external enclosure against shocks, reduces slipping on the desk and increases user comfort.

Complete package for quick setup
The package includes all accessories for easy installation and quick setup, including USB-C 40Gbps cable 36 cm long, thermal pads and mounting accessories with a screwdriver for installing the M.2 SSD drive. The package also includes a silicone sleeve for protection of the external enclosure and an illustrated manual guiding you step by step through the installation.
