Switss® M.2 SSD Enclosure USB4 / Thunderbolt 4
Connect your NVMe or SATA M.2 SSD via USB4 or Thunderbolt 4, four times faster than a regular USB-C port.
Switss® USB4/TB4 SSD Enclosure
4x faster than regular USB-C.
Connect your M.2 NVMe or SATA SSD via USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 and work on external storage as if it were built in, faster than through a regular USB-C port. The aluminium enclosure with integrated heatsink keeps your SSD cool, even during hours of copying or editing.
With a fast NVMe SSD, USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 gets you up to 3000 MB per second. That moves a 30 GB video project in under ten seconds. Measured with a fast NVMe SSD; actual speed depends on your own drive.

USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 provide a 40 Gbps connection, four times the bandwidth of a regular USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port (10 Gbps).
With a fast NVMe SSD, USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 gets you up to 3000 MB per second. Our 10 Gbps USB-C enclosure reaches around 1000 MB per second. Measured with a fast NVMe SSD; actual speed depends on your own drive.
Please note: SSD not included. Your own M.2 SSD clicks straight in.

Works with M.2 NVMe and SATA SSDs, M-Key and M+B-Key, in sizes 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280. Fits almost any common M.2 SSD.
Four times faster via USB4 or Thunderbolt 4. Four times faster than a regular USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 enclosure. On a USB4 or Thunderbolt port you get the full speed of a fast NVMe SSD.
USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 provide 40 Gbps of bandwidth. With a fast NVMe SSD, this gets you up to 3000 MB per second, versus around 1000 MB per second on a regular USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 enclosure (10 Gbps).
Large files, short waits. Transfer video footage at 40 Gbps, without the long waiting times.
Aluminium cooling with heatsink. The integrated heatsink and thermal pad carry heat away quickly. Your SSD stays at a safe temperature, even during hours of heavy use.
From camera to archive. Your photoshoot is safely on your own SSD within minutes.
NVMe and SATA in one enclosure. Works with both NVMe and SATA M.2 SSDs. You fit almost any common M.2 SSD.
Works with M.2 NVMe and SATA SSDs, M-Key and M+B-Key, in sizes 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280.
Also works on USB-C without Thunderbolt. On USB4 and Thunderbolt 3 or 4 you get full speed. On a regular USB-C port the enclosure also works, but at a lower speed.
An SSD that overheats slows itself down automatically. The aluminium enclosure with integrated heatsink carries heat away, even during large transfers or long editing sessions.
An SSD that gets too hot automatically lowers its own speed to prevent damage. The thermal pad and aluminium heatsink carry the heat away, so your SSD stays at full speed even during long transfers. That also protects your SSD's lifespan.

No. The enclosure ships without an SSD. You install your own M.2 NVMe or SATA SSD.
The enclosure works with M.2 NVMe and SATA SSDs, M-Key and M+B-Key, in sizes 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280. Capacities up to 8 TB are supported. M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSDs fit physically, but don't reach that type's full speed over USB4.
Yes. On a USB-C port without USB4 or Thunderbolt, the enclosure works fine, but at a lower speed. You only reach 40 Gbps and 3000 MB per second on a USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4 port. On USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), the maximum speed is around 1000 MB per second.
The aluminium enclosure with integrated heatsink and thermal pad is designed to carry heat away. During intensive use, the enclosure will feel warm, but that's normal and not a sign of a problem. The SSD is actually protected because heat is carried away instead of building up.
The speed you get depends on two things: your SSD and your port. With a fast NVMe SSD on a USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 port, you reach up to 3000 MB per second. On a Thunderbolt 3 port (40 Gbps), the same applies. On USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), the ceiling is around 1000 MB per second. On USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps), it's even lower. With a SATA M.2 SSD, the maximum speed is around 500 MB per second, regardless of the port.
A new or empty SSD needs to be prepared first before it appears as a drive. On Windows, you do this via Disk Management: right-click the unallocated disk, initialize it and create a volume. On macOS, open Disk Utility, select the SSD and choose Erase to format it. After that, it appears as a regular drive.
