SSD enclosure Lindy 43394 Grey M.2 PCIe 40 Gbit/s USB Type-C

The Lindy USB4 NVMe M.2 SSD Enclosure (model 43394) converts a PCIe/NVMe M.2 SSD into an external drive for USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4 hosts. It supports M key and B+M key M.2 SSDs in 42 mm, 60 mm and 80 mm lengths and uses a USB Type‑C interface capable of up to 40 Gbit/s transfer speeds when connected to a compatible host. The enclosure has an aluminium housing and integrated aluminium heatsink and comes in a grey finish.

Advantages

The aluminium housing with built‑in heatsink provides effective heat dissipation to maintain suitable operating temperatures during high‑speed transfers. Tool‑free installation lets you install or replace an M.2 PCIe/NVMe SSD quickly without extra tools. Compatibility with USB4 and Thunderbolt 3/4 hosts enables very high data transfer rates (up to 40 Gbit/s) when used with a matching host controller. The USB Type‑C connector ensures wide compatibility with modern laptops and PCs.

Suitable for

• Transferring large files and backups between computers
• Expanding external storage for laptops and desktop PCs
• Using high‑performance NVMe M.2 drives as portable work drives
• IT technicians and system builders needing portable high‑speed storage

Key specifications

How to use

Open the tool‑free enclosure, insert a compatible PCIe/NVMe M.2 SSD of the correct length (42/60/80 mm) and secure it according to the enclosure’s mounting points. Close the enclosure and connect it to a laptop or PC using the USB Type‑C cable. If the host supports USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4, the enclosure can reach up to 40 Gbit/s; otherwise transfer speeds will be limited by the host’s interface. Format the drive in the host operating system if required and access it like any external storage device.

Usage recommendations

To achieve the maximum 40 Gbit/s throughput, use a system with a USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4 controller and a certified USB Type‑C cable. Ensure adequate airflow around the aluminium housing during sustained heavy transfers to aid heat dissipation and prolong SSD life.
