Warm Tips:
- The NVMe SSD is not included.
- Please ensure your computer's USB-C port supports 15W or higher Power Delivery (PD) for hassle-free operation.
- The performance will be limited on TB4, USB4 V1 and normal USB ports. To get the advertised performance, the host should support TB5 or USB4 V2 and it should support 80Gbps.
- This test result for Max. 6000+MB/s reading and Max. 5000+MB/s writing is the best result tested by our own test environment, and the specific effect is determined by the computer configuration and your SSD.
- If the SSD is brand-new and unformatted, please perform partition installation so that the computer can read the data normally. If the SSD is formatted and has stored data, you have no need to perform partition installation because the computer can read the data normally.
FAQ
Q1. Why Thunderbolt 3 PCs can not recognize this enclosure?
A1. It is an innovation which was not available at the time Thunderbolt 3 PCs were developed. Thunderbolt 3 PCs launched in previous years do not support this new technology.
Q2. Why doesn't it work after connecting it to the USB-A/USB-C PCs?
A2. This Enclosure is not compatible with USB-A PCs, and the port on the USB-C PCs must support USB 15W or above.
Q3. Why doesn't the product work with a Type-C port that only supports USB 2.0?
A3. The product isn't compatible with USB 2.0, so it won't work with a Type-C port limited to USB 2.0 speeds.
Q4. Why isn't my SSD recognized when installed on this product?
A4. The product uses advanced Thunderbolt 5/USB4 V2 tech, which might not be compatible with older SSDs. Use recommended SSDs or contact support for assistance.
Q5. Why can't the SSD be read after switching to different system, such as Windows and Mac?
A5. Different computer systems support different SSD formats, which may cause the SSD to be unrecognizable after switching computers. Check that the SSD is formatted in a compatible format like APFS, NTFS, exFAT, FAT32, etc.
Q6. Why does a "USB4 device functionality may be limited" or "Thunderbolt device functionality may be limited" message pop up on the bottom right of the PC?
A6. This occurs due to connection to a non-Thunderbolt/non-USB4 port, which limits functionality, commonly resulting in non-operation or reduced speed.
Q7. Why does this Enclosure have different performance when used on different computers?
A7. The actual speed depends on your computer's performance including hardware interfaces, system, drivers, etc.
Q8. Why can't it reach 40/80Gbps?
A8. That's because the available PCle bandwidth for Thunderbolt 4/USB4 is 32Gbps, and for Thunderbolt 5/USB4 V2 is 64Gbps.
Q9. Why doesn't the test on my computer reach the advertised speed?
A9. Test data is based on WAVLINK Labs results, actual speeds may vary depending on your computer's hardware and software configuration.
