AXAGON EEM2-40G, M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB-C 40Gbps, ARMORED Aluminum
USB4 Enclosure for Maximum NVMe SSD Performance
The fast AXAGON EEM2-40G ARMORED external enclosure with a USB4 interface allows you to take full advantage of the high performance of M.2 NVMe SSDs with minimal throttling and stable operation. Transfer speeds of up to 40Gb/s and broad compatibility, including with Thunderbolt interfaces, make it a reliable solution for demanding use, such as 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 daily use. Back up to 1TB of data in approximately 10 minutes, edit 4K video directly from the external drive, or reuse an older NVMe SSD as fast portable storage – all with a single device. A USB-C 40Gbps cable is included in the package.
Key Features of the AXAGON EEM2-40G External Enclosure
- Thanks to USB4 standard support, it can handle transfer speeds of up to 40Gb/s
- The enclosure is fully backwards compatible with USB 3.2
- Support for modern SSDs with the standard 2280 size
- The all-aluminium body acts as a large heatsink
- Thermal pads are included for efficient heat dissipation from the SSD
- The modern, reversible USB-C connector allows for easy Plug and Play connection
- Powered directly from the USB bus
- Advanced features like TRIM, UASP, and S.M.A.R.T. disk health information reading
- The robust metal design provides physical protection for the drive on the go
Fast External Storage for Working with Large Data
Lengthy copying of bulky files or the limitations of common flash drives can significantly slow down your work. Thanks to its USB4 interface with speeds of up to 40Gb/s, this NVMe enclosure significantly reduces data transfer times and enables smoother work without unnecessary delays. At the heart of the enclosure is the high-end ASMedia ASM2464PD chipset, which helps maintain stable speed even under high load and prolonged use. When using a fast NVMe SSD, up to 1TB of data can be transferred in approximately 10 minutes, depending on the performance of the drive and the host device.
Wide Support for M.2 NVMe SSDs without Capacity Limits
The enclosure is designed for M.2 NVMe SSDs. It supports 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 mm formats, in both single-sided and double-sided designs, with no capacity limit, including drives with capacities of 4TB and higher. UASP support helps with more efficient data transfer, while the TRIM function contributes to maintaining SSD performance over time. The ability to read S.M.A.R.T. information then allows you to monitor the status of the drive.
The AXAGON EEM2-40G Offers High Compatibility
The compatibility of an external drive with your device is a common problem. This USB4 external enclosure is backwards compatible with older USB standards and also supports Thunderbolt 3, 4, and 5, so you can easily connect it to both modern and older devices. The AXAGON EEM2-40G is suitable for computers, laptops, and MacBooks with a USB-C port and supports Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. It can also be used with mobile phones and tablets. The maximum transfer speed always depends on the specific device used.
External Enclosure with Easy Installation
Opening with a single screw allows for quick installation and replacement of the M.2 NVMe SSD. The internal design of the AXAGON external enclosure ensures easy insertion and secure fastening of the drive. It goes without saying that it offers Plug & Play operation without the need to install drivers. It is the ideal solution for fast data transfer between devices and for expanding your storage space.
Practical Design
The aluminium body and well-thought-out thermal design of the enclosure act as an effective passive heatsink, which dissipates heat from the SSD and helps maintain stable performance without slowdowns due to “Thermal Throttling”. It thus contributes to keeping the drive's temperature at a safe level even under higher loads. Compared to active cooling with a fan, passive cooling has the advantage of completely silent operation, reliability, and energy efficiency. The silicone sleeve protects the external enclosure against impacts, reduces slipping on a desk, and increases comfort during use.
Complete Equipment Included in the External Enclosure Package
In the package, along with the AXAGON EEM2-40G external enclosure, you will find all the accessories for easy installation and quick commissioning, including a 36cm USB-C 40Gbps cable, thermal pads, and mounting material with a screwdriver for installing the M.2 SSD. A silicone sleeve for protecting the external enclosure and an illustrated manual that will guide you through the assembly step-by-step are also included.
