AXAGON External USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 metal enclosure for M.2 NVMe & SATA SSD disks | EEM2-SG2

The universal external AXAGON EEM2-SG2 RAW enclosure with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface is designed for M.2 NVMe or SATA SSD disks. The double-sided USB-C connector on the enclosure enables a reliable connection. The package includes not only a USB-C to USB-C cable for connecting the enclosure to a computer, but also a USB-C to USB-A adapter. You can connect the enclosure to any available USB port on your notebook.

The second generation of the fast USB interface allows you to enjoy the speed of modern M.2 SSD drives. The transmission rate is up to 10 Gb/s thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface. The external M.2 enclosure also supports other modern functions, e.g., UASP, TRIM, and allows reading S.M.A.R.T. information to monitor the disk status. Standby support when idle.

A unique feature, thanks to the new chipset, is the possibility of using both M.2 NVMe and SATA disks. You don't have to worry about which type of M.2 disk you put in the enclosure. An advantage is the compatibility with three different lengths of SSD cards: 42, 60, and 80 mm. M.2 cards can be single-sided or double-sided. The enclosure does not limit the capacity of the inserted SSD.

The screwless opening facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the M.2 SSD disk. Disk replacement is quick and easy, thus expanding the possibilities of using the enclosure, e.g., for data migration, testing, etc. The outer metal housing is made in a titanium silver color with an elegant brushed finish that prevents unwanted fingerprints. The rounded design promises pleasant use.

The aluminum enclosure body, cooling holes, and thermal conductive pad provide very good cooling for the inserted M.2 SSD disk. This extends its service life and also prevents the disk from slowing down, so-called "Thermal Throttling."

By inserting an M.2 SSD into the enclosure, you will easily create a fast, compact external disk. The enclosure can be used with computers and notebooks, as well as with mobile phones and tablets.
