## Summary description

The DeLOCK 42018 SSD enclosure supports one M.2 storage drive with a data transfer rate of 40 Gbit/s. It features a sleek silver design and a USB Type-C connector, making it a modern solution for external storage needs.

## Long description

The DeLOCK 42018 is a compact aluminium enclosure for a single M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSD. It connects to a PC or laptop via Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or USB‑C (USB4™ compatible) and features a silver metal housing with cooling fins to help maintain optimal memory temperature. The enclosure supports up to 40 Gbit/s transfer rate depending on the host device and uses a USB to NVMe controller; on USB Gen 2x2 ports the effective transfer rate is limited to 10 Gbps.
Advantages
The metal housing with integrated cooling fins provides improved heat dissipation for M.2 NVMe SSDs. USB4™ compatibility allows connection to Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports as well as standard USB‑C ports, offering flexible host support. Tool‑free installation makes inserting or replacing an M.2 2280 SSD quick and convenient. The enclosure is lightweight and finished in silver aluminium for a durable, compact external storage solution.

How to use
Open the enclosure following the captive opening mechanism, insert a compatible M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSD into the M.2 slot and secure it according to the enclosure’s tool‑free mechanism. Close the housing and connect the enclosure to the host computer with a USB‑C cable into a USB4/Thunderbolt or USB‑C port.
