What are the maximum speeds attainable with this enclosure?

With the proper host port this enclosure can reach transfer speeds up to 3,900 MB/s with USB4 or 2,700 MB/s with Thunderbolt. USB ports at 20Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2) or 10Gbps (Gen 2x1) ports can transfer up to ~1,000 MB/s while 5Gbps (Gen 1x1) transfers at up to ~500 MB/s. 480 Mbps (USB 2.0) interfaces are also supported but not recommended, with speeds up to ~40 MB/s. See table for clarity.

What type of SSDs are supported?

This enclosure is intended for M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs using an M key connector. M.2 SATA SSDs should never be installed in this enclosure. NVMe SSDs with heatsinks are normally not designed for installation into enclosures.

What operating systems and devices are supported?

Officially, the enclosure is designed for Windows and macOS based PCs. This includes portable gaming devices. Unofficially, the enclosure should work with a wide range of devices that conform to USB, USB4, or Thunderbolt specifications, as it is plug and play. Some systems, including those built on Linux, may require additional configuration depending on the intended use.
 

What bridge chip does this enclosure use?

The enclosure uses the ASMedia ASM2464PD controller for maximum performance. Check with your device manufacturer for compatibility, if necessary.
