40Gbps USB4 M.2 NVMe Enclosure with Aluminum Heatsink Housing, PCIe Gen 4x4 Support, and Universal USB-C/Thunderbolt Compatibility for Ultra-Fast External SSD Storage
The StarTech 1USB4-NVME-ENCLOSURE is a USB4 NVMe enclosure that transforms any M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD into a high-performance external storage device delivering read/write speeds up to 3,800 MB/s over a 40Gbps USB4 connection. The enclosure accepts 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 M-Key and B+M Key NVMe drives including Samsung 960/970/980/990/9100, Kingston, Seagate, Western Digital, Crucial, and Intel, with driverless plug-and-play operation across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
The anodized aluminum housing functions as a heatsink with a pre-installed high-efficiency thermal pad, providing passive cooling that maintains consistent transfer rates during sustained workloads without fan noise. A single USB-C port with the included USB4 cable connects to USB4, Thunderbolt 5/4/3, and USB 3.2 Gen 2 hosts, making the enclosure compatible with current and next-generation systems while maintaining backward compatibility with 10Gbps USB hosts.
Where the StarTech 1USB4-NVME-ENCLOSURE USB4 NVMe Enclosure Fits
- Creative professionals transferring large media files where 40Gbps USB4 throughput delivers up to 3,800 MB/s read/write for 4K/8K video workflows, the compact 4.9 x 2.6 x 1.1-inch form factor fits in a laptop bag, and the fanless aluminum heatsink design eliminates noise in recording environments
- IT technicians performing disk imaging and data recovery where PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe support handles the fastest available drives, broad M.2 size compatibility (2230/2242/2260/2280) accepts drives pulled from any laptop or workstation, and UASP acceleration ensures maximum USB transfer efficiency
- Workstation users needing fast external storage across USB4 and Thunderbolt systems where one enclosure connects to USB4, Thunderbolt 5/4/3, and USB 3.2 hosts through a single USB-C cable, driverless operation requires no software installation, and TAA compliance meets government procurement requirements
