AXAGON SuperSpeed USB-C NVMe M.2 Thin Screwless Box

Universal external AXAGON EEM2-GTS2 THIN SCREWLESS box with USB 10 Gbit/s interface for M.2 NVMe or SATA SSD disks. The double-sided USB-C connector on the box enables a reliable connection. The package includes a USB-C → USB-C cable for connecting the box to a computer, and a USB-C → USB-A adapter. You can connect the box to any free USB port on a notebook.

The transmission rate is up to 10 Gbit/s thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface. The external M.2 box also supports other modern features, e.g., UASP, TRIM, and enables reading S.M.A.R.T. disk status monitoring information. 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 think about what type of M.2 disk you put in the box. The advantage is the attachment of four different lengths of SSD cards – 30, 42, 60 and 80 mm. M.2 cards can be single-sided or double-sided. The box does not limit the capacity of inserted SSD.

Screwless box opening facilitates assembly and disassembly of the M.2 SSD. Disk replacement is quick and easy, thus expanding the possibilities of using the box, e.g., for data migration or testing.

The outer metal housing is grey with an elegant finish that prevents unwanted fingerprints.

Aluminium box body and thermal conductive pad provide very good M.2 SSD cooling. This extends its service life and prevents slowing down of disk speed, so-called “Thermal Throttling”.

By inserting an M.2 SSD in the box, you create a fast, compact, and versatile external drive for use with PCs, laptops, mobile phones, and tablets.
