External NVMe Enclosure | Thunderbolt 3 Compatible | USB-C Cable Included

This compact M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure for PCIe SSDs is a highly portable, high-performance data storage solution for your USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 enabled devices.

Unparalleled Performance

Leverage the high speeds of your M.2 NVMe drive, with this external SSD enclosure.

Additionally, the enclosure supports plug-and-play installation, making it the perfect accessory for professionals on the go.

M2E1BMU31C is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
