Axagon EEM2-UB2 USB 3.2 Gen2 M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure
Fast external AXAGON EEM2-UB2 ARROW enclosure with a USB 10Gbps interface for M.2 NVMe SSDs. The reversible USB-C connector on the enclosure ensures a reliable connection. The package includes a USB-C to USB-C cable for connecting the enclosure to your computer.
The transfer rate is up to 10Gb/s thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface. The external M.2 enclosure also supports other modern features, such as UASP, TRIM, and allows reading S.M.A.R.T. disk status monitoring information. Supports standby mode when idle.
An advantage is support for three different SSD lengths - 42, 60, and 80 mm. M.2 drives can be single-sided or double-sided. The enclosure does not limit the capacity of the installed SSD.
Opening the enclosure with just one screw makes mounting and removing the M.2 SSD easy. Drive replacement is quick and simple, expanding the enclosure's range of uses, e.g. for data migration, testing, etc.
The outer metal housing comes in black with an elegant finish that prevents unwanted fingerprints.
The aluminum enclosure body and thermal conductive pad provide very good cooling for the M.2 SSD. This extends its service life and also prevents the drive from slowing down, known as Thermal Throttling.
By inserting an M.2 SSD into the enclosure, you can easily create a fast, compact and universal external drive. The enclosure can be used with computers and notebooks, as well as with mobile phones and tablets.
Input:
USB 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2), USB-C female connector.
Compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB4, and Thunderbolt 3/4.
Device support:
NVMe M.2 SSD drives,
designed for M key or B+M key card formats,
NGFF 75-pin M key slot for M.2 drives.
Other features:
Supports transfer rates of 10.000 / 5000 / 480 Mbit/s.
Supports M key or B+M key NVMe (PCI-Express) M.2 SSD drives with no maximum capacity limit.

The total bandwidth / transfer rate of the adapter is determined by the USB interface used (theoretical 10 Gbit/s).
The actual adapter bandwidth / transfer rate is about 1.000 MB/s (1 GB/s), limited by the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface.
Supports BOT (Bulk-Only Transport).
Supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI) for faster data transfer in Windows 8 and later.
Supports TRIM functionality to limit the gradual degradation of SSD performance over time.
Supports S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) system monitoring of drive condition.
Supports booting from an SSD in the external enclosure.
Allows device connection while running thanks to Hot Plug support.
Full Plug and Play support.
Standby support - the drive goes to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Power supply via USB 3.0 bus up to 900mA from one USB port is sufficient in all cases.
A subtle blue LED indicates connection to the computer's USB port (steady light) and data transfer (blinking).
The robust aluminum body and thermal conductive pad help cool the M.2 SSD more effectively.
A higher enclosure surface temperature is not a defect - thanks to the aluminum body, heat generated during drive operation is dissipated better and transferred to the surroundings.
Connection via USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C female connector.
USB Type-C male / USB Type-C male cable, length 20 cm, included in the package.
Other data:
