About this product
The WAVLINK 40Gbps PCIe NVMe SSD Enclosure is an external hard drive enclosure designed to house NVMe SSDs (sizes 2280/2260/2242/2230) and connect them to a host device via a 40Gbps USB4 or Thunderbolt interface. Constructed with an aluminum case, it supports data transmission speeds up to 40Gbps, enabling read and write speeds of up to 3800MB/s. It's compatible with Thunderbolt 4/3 and USB 4/3.2/2.0 standards, offering broad connectivity without needing additional drivers. This enclosure allows for a maximum capacity of up to 8TB per bay and comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
Our take
If you're looking to turn an NVMe SSD into a blazing-fast external drive, this WAVLINK enclosure is a solid option. The 40Gbps USB4 interface is incredibly speedy, reaching up to 3800MB/s read and write, which is fantastic for large file transfers or running applications directly from the drive. I appreciate the wide compatibility with various NVMe sizes and the robust aluminum case for heat dissipation and durability. It’s truly plug-and-play with no drivers needed. The 8TB maximum capacity per bay offers plenty of room for expansion too. Keep in mind it's just an enclosure, so you'll need to supply your own NVMe SSD.
