From Plugable, 10Gb/s USB-C (USB 3.1 Gen 2) NVMe SSD Enclosure

Plugable launches the 10Gb/s USB-C (USB 3.1 Gen 2) NVMe SSD Enclosure to feature a tool-free, spring-loaded design for inserting and removing a compatible SSD, along with thermal management to maximize performance and device lifespan.

With a sleek and slim profile, a rugged aluminum body for improved heat dissipation, and USB Type-A and Type-C host compatibility, the USB-C NVMe Enclosure is a solution for safeguarding SSDs when moving from the workplace to the home office and achieving transfer performance speeds on PCs, Macs and Linux devices.

Portable, tool-free design
Unlike other NVMe enclosures that need screwdrivers to secure the SSD in place, the USB-C NVMe Enclosure enables opening the enclosure using a slide-lock, then aligning the NVMe notch into the socket and securing it in place with a tensioned rubber peg. Once the SSD is secured, users slide the cover back into place and it’s ready for use. Thanks to the USB-C NVMe Enclosure’s rugged and durable frame, it can be thrown into a bag and transported to different workstations without damaging the SSD inside.

Heat dissipation for performance
The enclosure’s aluminum body allows for peak heat dissipation compared to other solutions thanks to its thermal properties. By dissipating heat while in-use, it allows SSDs to maintain high-speed transfers (up to 10Gb/s) with the USB 3.1 Gen2 technology. For example, a transfer of 1,000 8MB photos, which can take up to 40 minutes using traditional thumb drives, will take four minutes using the USB-C NVMe populated with fast media such as the Samsung 960 EVO. Heat dissipation also extends SSD longevity, reducing the need for continuous replacement and data migration.

Compatibility
In order to meet the needs of professionals with diverse hardware preferences, the included USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables allow the USB-C NVMe Enclosure to be connected to any Windows, macOS or Linux device. It is also compatible with all M.2 NVMe SSDs from manufacturers like Intel Corp., Phison Electronics Corp., and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd..

The USB-C NVMe USB 3.1 Gen 2 NVMe Enclosure is available for $49.95 on Amazon.
