4x faster than USB 3.0
20 Gbps via USB-C 3.2 Gen 2
USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 reaches up to 20 Gbps, four times the bandwidth of the older USB 3.0 (5 Gbps). Use a host port that supports this speed for the full benefit; on an older USB 3.0 port the speed will be lower.
- 4 modes RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, and Clone
- 2× 8 TB maximum capacity with external power
- 0 software needed, set with a switch
Please note: M.2 SSDs not included. Simply click in your own two drives.

automatically, on both SSDs
How RAID 1 mirroring works
In RAID 1 mode the enclosure writes every file to both SSDs at the same time. If one drive fails, your files stay safe on the other. You do have only half of the total capacity available, set with the dip switches, no software needed.
RAID 0 lets
2 SSDs
work together as one super-fast drive
RAID 0: striping for top speed
In RAID 0 mode, the enclosure spreads files across both SSDs, so they work together as one super-fast drive. Ideal for large photo and video files. Note: if one SSD fails, you lose the data on both drives.

USB-C cable for 2 SSDs at once
One connection for both bays

Why this dual-bay enclosure
Aluminum with thermal cooling. The aluminum enclosure dissipates heat through thermal pads on both SSD slots. Both drives stay at a stable temperature, even during long copying or streaming sessions.
Room for all your work. Two M.2 SSDs in one enclosure, fast enough for large photo libraries.
NVMe and SATA, four sizes. Fits M-Key and M+B-Key drives in sizes 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. Combine NVMe and SATA SSDs from any brand.
Your archive, doubly safe. In RAID 1 the enclosure automatically saves everything to two SSDs at once.
Up to 2× 8 TB storage. Without external power up to 2× 2 TB per SSD. Connect a USB-C charger and you get up to 2× 8 TB.
Power: 5V/3A USB-C charger
Without external power you can use SSDs up to 2× 2 TB. Connect a USB-C charger of 5V/3A and the enclosure supports SSDs up to 2× 8 TB.
Four modes, one switch
With the dip switches inside the enclosure you set RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, or Clone mode and confirm your choice with the button; the lights on the front then show which mode is active. No software, no computer. Switching modes reinitializes the SSDs, so always back up your files before you change the mode.

Offline cloning without a computer
In Clone mode you copy the contents of SSD A to SSD B with the push of a button, the enclosure doesn't need to be connected to a computer. Handy for making an exact backup copy of a drive.

Works instantly on Windows, Mac, Linux, and more
Works instantly on your computer, game console, or phone, no drivers to install.
Full compatibility list
Works without drivers on Windows 7 and up, macOS 10.6.5 and up, and Linux. Also compatible with PlayStation 4 (games and media), iPhone 15 or newer, iPad Pro with USB-C, Android, and Chromebook. Connect and start using it right away.
What can you use this enclosure for?
Automatic backup of your files
With RAID 1 the enclosure writes every file to both SSDs at the same time. If one drive fails, your photos and documents stay safe on the other.
Fast storage for video and photography
Photographers and video creators working with large files benefit from RAID 0: two SSDs work together as one super-fast drive.
Two separate drives at once
In JBOD mode both SSDs appear as two separate drives on your computer. Handy if you want to expand your storage without RAID.
Create a backup copy of a drive
With Clone mode you copy SSD A completely to SSD B, without a computer. Ideal if you want an identical backup of a working drive.

Frequently asked questions
Are SSDs included?
No. The enclosure is supplied without M.2 SSDs. You install your own M.2 NVMe or SATA SSDs. Any brand and any capacity up to 2× 8 TB (with external power) is compatible.
What's the difference between RAID 0 and RAID 1?
RAID 0 (Striping): the enclosure spreads files across both SSDs. You get the combined capacity and higher speed, but if one SSD fails you lose all your data. RAID 1 (Mirroring): every file is saved to both SSDs at the same time. If one drive fails, your files stay safe on the other. You do have only half of the total capacity available.
Do I lose my files if I switch the RAID mode?
Yes. Switching modes reinitializes the SSDs and all existing data is lost. Make a backup on another drive before you change the mode.
Which M.2 SSDs fit?
The enclosure fits M.2 NVMe and M.2 SATA SSDs with an M-Key or M+B-Key connector, in sizes 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. Regular 2.5 inch SATA or 3.5 inch hard drives do not fit.
How fast is the transfer?
The enclosure supports up to 20 Gbps via USB-C 3.2 Gen 2. Actual speed depends on your SSDs, the chosen RAID mode, and your computer's USB port. On an older USB 3.0 port (5 Gbps) the speed will be lower. NVMe SSDs reach higher speeds than SATA M.2 SSDs.
My new SSD isn't recognized, what now?
A new or empty SSD needs to be set up first. On Windows, open Disk Management (right-click the Start button and choose Disk Management) or Disk Utility on macOS, and initialize and format the drive. It will then appear as a regular drive and you can start saving files.
How do I set the enclosure to RAID 1 (or another mode)?
You make that choice entirely inside the enclosure; the lights on the front are not buttons, they only show which mode is active (PM is the factory setting: both SSDs then work as two separate drives). Set the dip switches to the position of the mode you want (the diagram is in the manual), make sure the enclosure is connected and has power, and hold the confirm button for a few seconds until the lights flash. Then check the front to see that the light of the new mode is on. If the old light is still on, set the dip switches to the correct position first and confirm again. Note: switching modes erases all existing files.
How do I apply the thermal pads?
Each thermal pad has a thin protective film on both sides. Remove both films and place the pad on the chips of your SSD. As soon as you close the enclosure, the pad makes contact with the aluminum and the heat is carried away from the SSD. Don't skip this step: without a thermal pad the SSD can get too hot under heavy use.
