    Vszerda EM6001 80Gbps TB5 M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, JHL9480 B2, PCIe 5.0 x4 | New 2025 JHL9480 B2, true PCIe 5.0 x4, 80Gbps, Mac & USB4 only, no USB-C 3.2/phones

    • BUILT FOR THUNDERBOLT 5/4/3 & USB4 PORTS Designed for use with Thunderbolt technology ports: MacBook, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio and USB4 PCs. Not for USB-C 3.2/3.1/3.0 ports or smartphones (no phone storage or photo backup). Please check your port icon before ordering.
    • NEW 2025 JHL9480 B2 CHIP - TRUE PCIE 5.0 X4, NOT THE 2024 B1: Built on Intel's 2025-updated JHL9480 B2 controller with a full PCIe 5.0 x4 link - not the older 2024 JHL9480 B1, which is limited to PCIe 4.0 x4 and has poor compatibility with Gen5 drives. Every PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD is fully recognized and runs at its native speed, up to 7,000MB/s over the 80Gbps link.
    • FITS 2280 NVME SSD UP TO 8TB - GEN5/4.0/3.0 ALL AT FULL SPEED: Accepts M.2 2280 NVMe drives up to 8TB. PCIe 5.0, 4.0 and 3.0 SSDs all run at their own native link speed with no downgrade and no guesswork. Ideal for 8K RAW offload, large project archives and system backup.
    • BUILT-IN PWM FAN - SILENT AT IDLE, FULL COOLING UNDER LOAD: The PWM fan only spins up between 40-60°C and ramps automatically, staying near-silent in daily use and preventing thermal throttling during 500GB+ transfers. The aluminum housing also spreads heat from the JHL9480 B2.
    • PLUG & PLAY ON WINDOWS / macOS / LINUX - ALUMINUM AND PORTABLE: No drivers, no setup - works out of the box with Windows, macOS and Linux (ChromeOS also supported). Compact aluminum shell survives a camera bag. Ships with 80Gbps USB-C to USB-C cable (0.5m).

    Model: EM6001

    Host Interface USB-C (USB Type-C), 80Gbps
    Supported Host Protocols Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 (macOS 15.2+ only), USB4
    Not Compatible With USB-C 3.2 / 3.1 / 3.0 ports, USB-A, smartphones
    Controller Intel JHL9480 B2 (2025 stepping)
    PCIe Link PCIe 5.0 x4 over Thunderbolt
    Max Sequential Read Up to 7,000 MB/s (Thunderbolt 5 host, Gen5 SSD)
    Max Sequential Write Up to 6,500 MB/s (Gen5 SSD)
    Thunderbolt 4 Speed Up to ~3,800 MB/s
    Thunderbolt 3 Speed Up to ~2,800 MB/s
    SSD Support M.2 2280 NVMe (M-key), PCIe 5.0 / 4.0 / 3.0
    Max Capacity 8TB
    Cooling Built-in PWM fan (activates 40–60°C, auto speed) + aluminum housing + thermal pad
    Operating Systems Windows 10/11, macOS 12+ (TB3 requires macOS 15.2+), Linux, ChromeOS
    Plug & Play Yes — no drivers required
    Power Bus-powered via USB-C (no external power)
    Cable Included 80Gbps USB-C to USB-C, 0.5m (20 inch)
    • Only if it's a Thunderbolt 5/4/3 or USB4 port — a plain USB-C 3.2/3.1/3.0 port will not work. Check for the lightning icon or a "4"/"5" badge; if you only see the USB trident, consider our EM6002/EM6003 instead.

    • No. Smartphones are not supported — this is a computer-only device.

    • 7,000 MB/s needs a Thunderbolt 5/USB4 v2 host and a Gen5 SSD. On TB4 the link is 40Gbps, so ~3,800 MB/s is the correct maximum — the port sets the speed, not a defect.

    • No, it's plug and play on Windows, macOS and Linux. Just format the SSD on first use.

    • The aluminum shell will feel warm during long transfers — that's heat leaving the SSD. If it's too hot to touch, check the thermal pad seating and vent airflow.

    GLOTRENDS Thunderbolt 5 NVMe SSD Enclosure - Built on the 2025 JHL9480 B2 Controller Check your port first (30 seconds, saves a return). This is a PCIe-based Thunderbolt/USB4 enclosure. It works with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3 (macOS 15.2+) and USB4 ports. It does not work with ordinary USB-C 3.2 / 3.1 / 3.0 ports, and it does not support smartphones (iPhone or Android) - not for phone storage expansion, photo backup or video recording. If your port shows only a USB trident symbol with no lightning or "4"/"5" badge, this product is not for that port. The B2 chip is the reason to buy. Many Thunderbolt 5 enclosures still ship with the 2024 JHL9480 B1 controller, which provides only a PCIe 4.0 x4 link - put a Gen5 SSD in one and it may not be recognized, may drop to Gen4 speed, or may throttle unpredictably. Our enclosure uses Intel's 2025-updated JHL9480 B2, with a real PCIe Gen5 x4 link. Every Gen5 SSD is fully recognized and runs at native Gen5 speed. The difference is not on the spec sheet; it's what happens the moment you plug in a Gen5 drive. 80Gbps, proven by real workloads. Thunderbolt 5 delivers a symmetric 80Gbps link and up to 7,000MB/s sequential reads. Offload a 256GB camera card in minutes, edit 8K ProRes straight off the drive, or boot a full macOS or Windows install from it. Built for the Mac desk - and USB4 PCs. Tested with MacBook, iMac, Mac mini and Mac Studio, plus Thunderbolt 4/4 and USB4 devices on Windows and iPad Pro. Compatible operating systems: Windows, macOS and Linux. Thunderbolt and the Thunderbolt logo are trademarks of Intel Corporation in the U.S. and/or other countries. MacBook, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio are trademarks of Apple Inc.
