About this item
- 80Gbps Ultra Transfer Speed, 2X faster of Thunderbolt4/USB4: The 80Gbps SSD enclosure equipped with JHL9480 chipset is capable of supporting an impressive data transfer rate of up to 80Gbps, 2 times of the Thunderbolt4/USB4, 8 times of the USB 3.2 Gen 2 and 16 times of USB 3.2 Gen1, ideal for high-resolution video editing, large-scale data backups, gaming downloading and intensive computing tasks. To achieve speeds exceeding 3000MB/s, please use a SSD with PCIe 4.0 x4 and NVMe 1.4 or above, and avoid M.2 PCIe 5.0, speed may vary depending on the cable, device and ssd model.
- 6000+MB/s Reading&5000+MB/s Writing Speed: This high-speed performance enables computers equipped with Thunderbolt 5 ports to achieve sequential read speeds of over 6000 MB/s and write speeds of more than 5000 MB/s. Such capabilities make Thunderbolt 5 an ideal solution for demanding storage expand and video-editing. It also backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4/3 and USB 4. Note: Only cables and devices with Thunderbolt 5 or higher can reach 80Gbps transfer speed.
- Advanced JHL9480 Chips for Enhanced Performance: Powered by the advanced JHL9480 chipset, the performance is significantly upgraded. It dramatically improves work efficiency, offers faster response times, and ensures high-speed operation with peace of mind.
- Turbo High-speed Fan and Aluminum Alloy Housing for Efficient Cooling: The large-diameter high-speed turbo fan and aluminum alloy housing can actively dissipate heat more efficiently after detecting the operation temperature is high, and can maintain long-lasting cooling during high-load operation, without high temperature at high speed
- SSD Compatibility: Only supports 2280 size M.2 NVME M-KEY/(M+B)Key,not support M.2 (B-KEY) and (M+B)-KEY SATA NGFF SSD. Plug and play for driver free. Not compatible with M.2 NVMe key to PCIe adapter to connect PCIe devices.
- About Thunderbolt 3 users: Thunderbolt 3 systems may not fully Compatible with Thunderbolt 5 and may default to USB speeds to 10Gbps, recommend using a Thunderbolt 3/4 SSD enclosure instead of this 80Gbps ssd enclsoure.
- Packing list: 80Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosurex1, Thunderbolt 5 Cable (11.81 in)x1, Silicone heat sink x1,User Manual x1, Screw driver x1

Product Description
Important Note for the Enclosure Compatibility with SSDs
As a pioneering technology, USB4 V2 may encounter some compatibility issues in its initial phase. We are actively working to address these challenges. To ensure stable performance and a seamless experience, we currently recommend using the following SSDs:
✓WD BLACK SN850X
✓Crucial P310
Please note that compatibility may vary depending on the device and system configuration. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we continue to optimize and improve our product's performance.
-
Why Thunderbolt 3 PCs can not recognize this enclosure?
It is an innovation which was not available at the time Thunderbolt3 PCs were developed. Thunderbolt 3 PCs launched in previous years do not support this new technology.
-
Why doesn't it work after connecting it to the USB-A/USB-C PCs?
This Enclosure is not compatible with USB-A PCs, and the port on the USB-C PCs must support USB 15W or above.
-
Why isn't my SSD recognized when installed on this product?
The product uses advanced Thunderbolt 5/USB4 V2 tech, which might not be compatible with older SSDs. Use recommended SSDs or contact support for assistance.
-
Why can't it reach 40/80Gbps?
That's because the available PCle bandwidth for Thunderbolt 4/USB4 is 32Gbps, and for Thunderbolt 5/USB4 V2 is 64Gbps.
-
Why can't the SSD be read after switching to different system, such as Windows and Mac?
Different computer systems support different SSD formats, which may cause the SSD to be unrecognizable after switching computers. Check that the SSD is formatted in a compatible format like APFS, NTFS, exFAT, FAT32, etc.
