Super fast external AXAGON EEM2-GTR THIN RIB box with USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface is designed for NVMe (PCI-Express) M.2 SSD drives. The double-sided USB-C connector on the box together with the supplied USB-C -> USB-C cable enables a reliable connection to a computer.
The ribbed design of the box body and the heat-conducting pad ensures very good cooling of the inserted M.2 SSD disk. This prolongs its service life and also slows down the speed of the so-called "Thermal Throttling". The robust box body also provides additional disk protection.
SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbit/s interface allows you to enjoy the speed of modern M.2 SSD disks. Thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, the transfer speed is up to 10Gb/s.
It is possible to use NVMe M.2 SSD disks up to 22x80 mm in the external box. The box has no SSD capacity limit. M.2 cards can be single-sided or double-sided. By inserting an M.2 SSD into this box, you can easily create a fast and compact external drive . The box can be used with computers and laptops, as well as with mobile phones and tablets.
