4 Bay Thunderbolt 3 NVME Enclosure. M.2 NVME SSD Driv

4-Drive PCIe M.2 Enclosure | Thunderbolt™ 3 | 72W EPS Power Supply & 2.3 ft (70 cm) Thunderbolt 3 Cable IncludedThis Thunderbolt™ 3 to 4x M.2 PCIe SSD enclosure enables you to turn four M-Key PCI-Express based M.2 NVMe or AHCI solid state drives (SSDs) into a high-performance external storage solution.The SSD enclosure is self-powered with an included 72W EPS power supply that powers the enclosure. the connected drives. and provides up to 15W of power to any downstream Thunderbolt 3 devices. A 2.3 ft. (70 cm) Thunderbolt 3 Certified host cable is also included. to connect the enclosure to your computer.High Performance M.2 Storage via 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3The enclosure is compatible with 80mm M.2 PCIe based (M-Key) single/double-sided SSDs. Create an external storage solution that utilizes the high-performance bandwidth available to your Thunderbolt 3 port. providing combined data transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps for up to four drives. The vented metal enclosure features thermal pads and a cooling fan to ensure your SSDs are operating at optimal temperatures.Dedicated 8Gbps Throughput for Each Individual DriveA single 8 Gbps PCIe lane is dedicated to each connected drive. This ensures consistent read/write performance across the entire enclosure. regardless of individual drive activity. The enclosure also supports software RAID with storage management systems like Storage Spaces (Microsoft). RAID Assistant (macOS). or mdraid/mdadm (Linux). The support for software RAID. combined with exceptional drive performance. makes this the ideal enclosure for creative professionals working with large files such as high-resolution graphics. video. and CAD files.Thunderbolt CertifiedThis enclosure is Thunderbolt Certified to ensure an optimal user experience and compatibility when connected to a Thunderbolt 3 host device. such as a MacBook Pro 16. 13. Air. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon / T Series. Dell XPS / Latitude / Precision or HP EliteBook. The external drive enclosure is also forward compatible with Thunderbolt 4 devices (at Thunderbolt 3 performance).Additional Ports for Workspace FlexibilityThe enclosure features a DisplayPort output port. enabling you to connect a DisplayPort monitor to your computer through the Thunderbolt 3 enclosure. with resolutions up to 4K 60Hz. The enclosure also features a downstream Thunderbolt 3 port for daisy chaining an additional TB3 device or connect an additional TB3 compatible display (up to 5K 60Hz).M2E4BTB3 is backed by a 2-year StarTech.com warranty.
