Sales Pitch
* M.2 NVMe drive to USB 3.1 Gen 2 Adapter, supports PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, NOT support SATA M.2 SSD. Max. speed USB 3.1 10Gbps, actual testing speed over 1000MB/s for reading/write. Save tons of time.
* USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables included, works with USB-C/Thunderbolt 3/USB-A hosts. Easy to install, easy to setup and easy to use.
Enhanced heat dissipation design, It comes with NVMe M.2 SSD thermal cooling pad and heat sink, solid build quality, Aluminum case with heat dissipate fins, cooling down internal NVMe SSD rapidly.
* Fits both M Key and B+M Key NVMe M.2 SSD (2230/2242/2260/2280). You can use this enclosure to clone the operating system to a new NVMe drive, upgrade the SSD in your laptop, then use the old M.2 NVMe hard drive as USB external storage. It can also work as Windows to Go/macOS bootable USB external drive.
* Work with iPad Pro, Android Smartphone, PS4/PS4 Pro/PS 4 Slim, Xbox One/One X as USB external storage device(SSD not included). Perfect companion for Mac/Windows PC.

  • When connecting TDBT SuperC to a USB 3.1 or Thunderbolt 3 computer, you can get a read/write speed around 1000 MB/s. As a comparison, even for high-end SATA SSD, the Max. Rate is 550MB/s for reading and 450MB/s for writing.
  • NVMe SSD generates massive heat when working, so we enhanced the cooling system:
  • Double side Copper strip on PCB to conduct heat effectively
  • Specially designed SSD heat sink rapidly radiating heat from internal SSD to external Aluminum case
  • Solid Aluminum case with heat exchange fins, practically enlarge the heat dissipation area
  • For Samsung 970 EVO plus SSD, if you want to use with Mac, update the SSD firmware is required. If you need technical support, please contact us.

To get the best performance: Your M.2 NVMe SSD read/write speed is faster than 1000MB/s
* Your computer has a USB 3.1 Gen2(Max. Speed 10Gbps) or Thunderbolt 3 port. For USB 3.1 Gen1 port, the max speed you get is 5Gbps only

Sellers Note's
* 'NOT work with any SSD from Mac'
* 'NOT work with SATA M.2 SSD, feel free to check with us if you are not sure'

Tech Specs
* Controller chip: JMicron JMS583(PCIe 3.0x2)
* USB 3.1 Gen2 type C interface, Max. 10Gbps data transfer speed

    I've been using one of these for about a year in my desktop for an external steam library. Zero issues and fast speeds so would recommend.

    • I've got two, agreed, they work great.

  • +1

    I got one last year and sometimes disconnecting from my PS5 when download games until I updated firmware to 2.0.9

    It's working perfectly now.

  • Maybe a silly question, but if the limit on my motherboard is two M2 PCIe NVMe drives, and I already have two installed, would using this with a 970 Evo plus as external drive work? Or would it require having spare PCIe lanes on the motherboard?

    Only built my PC two months ago, & am learning as much as I can so any help with be great!

    • +1

      well the theoretical max is 1250MB/s, whereas 970 evo can go up to 3500MB/s, leaving performance on the table.

      Realistically, I think the most you'll get is about 800MB/s on the table, assuming you have the right USB3.1 gen 2 port AND cable out of your computer.

      It'll be like an external portable drive.

      • Okay gotcha. The 970 Evo was just an example but good to know. So the benefits of going the way of external m2 SSD over a normal external drive would be the cost + up to double the speed?

        • +1

          Yeah pretty much. It's still (much) faster than an external HDD. It's like an external SSD.

          Sata sad tend to go up to 550MB/s max speed so i guess this enclosure with nvme SSD is still faster, but it won't come anywhere as fast as if you'd just use it in an internal M2 slot or PCIe adapters.

          • @lawyerz: I understand now, thank ya!

            Good way to get a fast cost effective drive then! There’s been some good SSD sales of late so this is good timing!

            Appreciate the info & thanks I’ve just learnt something new (:

            • +2

              @Edamamme: raw throughput on an ssd is a bit better, but the real win is the lower access times for just about every workload. ssds thrash hard drives for latency and random I/O.

    • +1

      Would work fine, like a super fast SSD, would not have the same performance as your existing two but far better than other options out there.

      • Thanks. It’s definitely opened up my eyes to how I can use storage now

    • It is a bit more tricky as it depends on how your motherboard is setup. USB lanes in motherboards have rear I/O and these can come from the CPU itself or split through a chipset. Now it is very tricky and you need software like HWINFO to figure out which ports go through chipset and which one is direct to CPU as most manufacturers don't tell (Normally USB-C SS 10gbps are CPU). Chances are, front header USB ports goes through the chipset meaning any USB drives will be sharing bandwidth with the motherboard uplink.

      Say for Ryzen, 24 lanes are available with 16 for GPU, 4 for NVME drives and 4 more for the chipset. The chipset helps split the functionality of the lanes so SATA, another NVME slot or more USB will be managed. If you hammer the SATA drives and NVME which shares lanes from the chipset then a USB drive connected to the front of the case then overall performance may suffer as the chipset to the CPU uplink becomes saturated. This is a rare thing and you actually have to be a serious user moving lots of files.

    At the speeds you're running with this, the heatsink is totally unnecessary and may possibly inhibit performance, since some of these memory chips like to run warm (~50-60 degrees)

    • Incorrect. I have one of these and my SSD's controller regularly hits 70c+.

    • I don't think it's unnecessary. It gets quite toasty and hot to touch so I am happy to have it there. As an added bonus it looks good and offers protection to the NVME inside. An aluminium body is far better than some cheap plastic enclosure.

    • my nvme ssd in an enclosure gets HOT. If I had a redo, I'll get one with a heatsink.

    • The only thing that really needs a heatsink is the controller. The memory performs better when it's warmer (to a point), the controller chip can get too hot in some situations though.

      • I think you are confusing water cooling which has been shown to degrade performance on SOME SSD's, with ambient heatsinks.
        I have never encountered or come across a heatsink, cooling enough to reduce performance.

  • Not very good for plotting chia.

    • It's faster than the fastest SATA (SATA 6Gb/s), and that works well for a lot of people.
      Sure slower than native M2 pcie and without the overhead, but would would work well for a laptop user who doesn't want to kill their internal SSD.

      6+ cheap 10k+ SAS drives are the way to go and avoid landfill.

  • Thanks OP bought two will update the firmware seems to fix the the reported issues with compatibility on some systems. Cheers

  • Could someone please advise if this enclosure would be required if I go to replace stock 500GB SSD in my 5-year old Dell XPS 15 9550 with a larger and faster SSD like say, Samsung EVO? If yes, will I be able to then just use the old SSD as an additional storage? Thank you.

    • Yes, but you can't use this - you need a USB-C (and preferably Thunderbolt) to SATA SSD enclosure.

      • Thank you McFly. Unless I am missing something, my laptop has Samsung PM951 NVMe PCIe M.2 512GB drive. Why whould I need SATA SSD enclosure?

        • Sorry, I thought your laptop didn't have an m.2 slot. If it does then this will be fine.
