USB4 Speed with Active Cooling
Turn a compatible M.2 NVMe SSD into fast, portable external storage. The Meenova USB4 enclosure combines up to 40Gbps data transfer, a built-in cooling fan and a ribbed aluminum-alloy shell for demanding file transfers and everyday storage.
Key Features
- Up to 40Gbps USB4: Built for high-speed access to photos, videos, project files and backups.
- Four-layer cooling: A turbine fan, convection airflow, thermal silicone pad and ribbed aluminum-alloy shell help move heat away during sustained transfers.
- Tool-free installation: Slide out the inner tray, install the SSD, apply the thermal pad and close the enclosure.
- Broad M.2 size support: Compatible with 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 M.2 NVMe SSDs.
- Up to 8TB: Supports compatible M.2 NVMe SSD capacities up to 8TB. SSD is not included.
- Portable construction: Aluminum alloy and ABS provide a practical balance of heat dissipation, protection and portability.
Made for Large Files and Fast Workflows
Use it to move media libraries, edit project files from external storage, carry work between computers or keep a high-capacity backup drive close at hand. Actual transfer speed depends on the installed SSD, host device, operating system, cable and workload.
SSD Compatibility
This enclosure supports M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs only. It does not support M.2 SATA SSDs.
- M Key: Supported
- B+M Key NVMe: Supported
- B Key SATA: Not supported
Device and System Compatibility
Compatible with supported Windows, macOS, Linux and Android devices. The USB4 Type-C connection works with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 hosts and is backward compatible with USB 3.2, USB 3.1, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. The host device must support USB storage; connection speed is limited by the slowest component in the setup.

Highlights explained
Interface bandwidth
40Gbps USB4
The listed interface rate is up to 40Gbps USB4. Actual file-copy speed depends on both devices, the cable, storage, software and file sizes; interface bandwidth is not a guaranteed transfer speed.
Storage protocol
NVMe only
The listed drive protocol is NVMe only. NVMe, SATA and their connector arrangements are not interchangeable; select the matching version before installing a drive.
Supported storage
8TB
Supports a compatible drive up to the listed 8TB capacity. This is supported capacity, not included storage; an SSD or hard drive must be supplied unless the selected package explicitly includes one.
Drive installation
Tool-free tray
The Tool-free tray installation design makes drive access more convenient. Secure the correct drive and any specified thermal pad before connecting, and safely eject storage before unplugging it.
Heat management
Fan and thermal pad
The Fan and thermal pad structure is intended to help move heat from the operating area. Keep it unobstructed; it is not a promise of zero heat, zero throttling or a fixed temperature reduction.
Practical use
Moving larger media libraries with a compatible high-speed host
Use the product for Moving larger media libraries with a compatible high-speed host, with compatible equipment and the specified connection. Plan the space, power source and accessories needed for that task before ordering.
