## Summary description

External SSD enclosure for a single M.2 NVMe drive, the ICY BOX Diamond Case 1980 uses Thunderbolt 5 for up to 80 Gbit/s transfer speeds. Supports PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSDs with maximum capacity up to 8 TB, aluminium construction in black and hot-swap capability—suitable for high-speed backups, video editing and data transport.

## Long description

The ICY BOX Diamond Case 1980 is an external M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure designed for professionals and enthusiasts who need high transfer speeds and reliable portable storage. It uses Thunderbolt 5 to deliver up to 80 Gbps transfer rates and supports PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSDs up to 8 TB capacity in a single 2280 (M-Key) drive. The enclosure features a durable aluminum housing, built-in cooling fan, LED status indicator and tool-less installation for quick drive swaps and straightforward setup.
Advantages
Thunderbolt 5 connectivity enables extremely fast file transfers—up to 80 Gbps—while maintaining backward compatibility with Thunderbolt 4/3 and USB4/3.2/3.0. The compact aluminium construction protects the drive and assists heat dissipation, and the built-in fan with an On/Off button helps maintain optimal operating temperatures under heavy workloads. Tool-less installation and hot-swap support simplify testing, cloning and drive upgrades.
Suitable for
Video editors working with high-resolution footage (including 8K)
Photographers and creatives handling large media libraries
IT professionals performing fast system backups and disk cloning
Anyone needing a portable, high-capacity NVMe solution for data transport
When it may not be suitable
This enclosure requires a host device with Thunderbolt 5 to reach its maximum transfer rate; on older interfaces speeds will be limited by host compatibility. If you need to fit drives other than M.2 2280 NVMe (M-Key) or multiple drives, this single-drive enclosure will not meet those requirements.
Key specifications
Interface: Thunderbolt 5 host connection, backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4/3 and USB4/3.2/3.0
Supported SSD type: M.2 NVMe (PCIe 4.0), M-Key, size 2280
Maximum supported capacity: up to 8 TB
Maximum transfer rate: up to 80 Gbps
Cooling: built-in fan with On/Off button
Material and colour: aluminum alloy, black
Drive bays: single M.2 slot, hot-swap capable
Additional features: LED power/access indicator, tool-less SSD installation, UASP support
How to use
Open the enclosure using the toolless mechanism, insert an M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 (M-Key 2280) SSD, secure it in place and close the housing. Connect the Diamond Case 1980 to a compatible host via a Thunderbolt 5 cable (or compatible Thunderbolt/USB4 port) and power on the host. Use the LED indicator to verify power and drive access. Optionally enable or disable the built-in fan using its On/Off button depending on workload and noise preferences.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure your computer has a Thunderbolt 5 or compatible Thunderbolt/USB4 port to achieve expected speeds
Confirm the SSD is an M.2 NVMe PCIe (M-Key) 2280 form factor and supports desired capacity
Check whether a single-drive enclosure meets your storage and redundancy needs
Consider cooling and noise when using sustained heavy workloads
Usage recommendations
For maximum performance, pair the Diamond Case 1980 with a Thunderbolt 5-capable host and a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD; enable the fan during prolonged heavy transfers and use UASP-aware software or workflows for best throughput and responsiveness.
