Lindy USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 NVMe M.2 SSD Enclosure - USB C

This enclosure specifically supports PCIe/NVMe based M.2 SSDs that use an M-key connector. It is not compatible with SATA M.2 SSDs.

No, the enclosure is USB bus-powered, meaning it draws all necessary power directly from the USB port it is connected to.

To reach the full 20Gbps SuperSpeed, your computer or host device must be equipped with a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) host controller and port. Connecting to a slower USB port (like 10Gbps or 5Gbps) will result in correspondingly lower speeds.

The enclosure supports M.2 SSDs in lengths of 30mm, 42mm, 60mm, and 80mm, and can accommodate SSDs with capacities up to 8 TB.

Yes, it is generally compatible with macOS systems that support USB 3.2 and NVMe SSDs. Performance may vary depending on the specific macOS version and hardware.

Yes, it is backward compatible. However, the data transfer speed will be limited by the capabilities of the older USB port (e.g., 5Gbps for USB 3.0, 10Gbps for USB 3.1 Gen 2).

After opening the enclosure, insert your M-key NVMe M.2 SSD into the slot and secure it with the provided screw or retention clip. Then, close the enclosure.

Ensure the SSD is correctly installed and the enclosure is securely closed. Try a different USB Type-C port on your computer. Verify the SSD is NVMe and M-keyed. Check if your host computer has a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port for full functionality, or test on a port with known working USB connectivity.

Confirm you are using a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port on your host computer. Ensure the connected SSD is capable of high speeds and that UASP is supported and enabled on your operating system. Use the provided high-quality USB cable or a certified USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 cable.

Remove the SSD and re-insert it, ensuring it's fully seated in the M.2 slot. Check the SSD's compatibility (NVMe M-key). If possible, test the SSD in another M.2 slot or enclosure to rule out an SSD issue.

This is normal during heavy data transfer due to the high speeds and aluminum construction dissipating heat. However, if it becomes too hot to touch comfortably, ensure the SSD is compatible and not experiencing read/write errors. Allow the device to cool down if necessary. Avoid blocking the enclosure's surfaces.
