AXAGON USB-C 10 Gbps Game M.2 Box for NVMe / SATA M.2 SSD

Gaming external AXAGON EEM2-GAM GAME M.2 box with USB 10 Gbit/s interface for M.2 NVMe or SATA SSD disks. The double-sided USB-C connector on the box enables a reliable connection. In the package you will find two cables to connect the box to your computer: one USB-C – USB-C and one USB-C – USB-A. You can connect the box to any free USB port on your notebook.

The transmission rate is up to 10 Gbit/s thanks to the fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface. The external M.2 box also supports modern features such as UASP, TRIM and enables reading S.M.A.R.T. disk status monitoring information.

A unique feature, thanks to the new chipset, is the possibility of using both M.2 NVMe and SATA disks. You don't have to think about what type of M.2 disk you put in the box. The advantage is the attachment of four different lengths of SSD cards – 30, 42, 60 and 80 mm. M.2 cards can be single-sided or double-sided. The box does not limit the capacity of inserted SSD.

A great advantage is the screwless opening of the box. Just press the button on the side to release the bottom cover. Changing disks is fast and easy.

The stylish frame for M.2 drives will impress you with its premium gaming design in black with an elegant surface that highlights your gaming setup. The RGB LED indication adds a stylish look and blends perfectly with any gaming laptop, enhancing the atmosphere of your gaming environment.

Also included is a functional sleeve that protects the box opening button, increases overall protection, and offers a loop for hanging.

Aluminium box body and thermal conductive pad provide ideal cooling for the inserted M.2 SSD. This extends the life of the disk and prevents slowing down of the disk speed (thermal throttling).

Inserting an M.2 SSD into this box easily creates a fast, compact and versatile external drive that can be used with PCs, laptops, mobile phones and tablets.
