External M.2 SSD Enclosure TERRAMASTER D1 SSD Plus USB4 40Gbps for NVMe/SATA drives

TERRAMASTER D1 SSD Plus is an external M.2 SSD enclosure that provides high-speed USB4 40Gbps connectivity for single M.2 NVMe or SATA modules. The enclosure is designed to accept standard M.2 drives (confirm module type and size compatibility with your module) and offers a simple way to add portable storage, perform fast backups, and accelerate media editing workflows by leveraging host systems with USB4 support.

Advantages

The enclosure delivers up to USB4 40Gbps interface bandwidth to enable faster file transfers when paired with a compatible host. Its support for both NVMe and SATA M.2 modules increases flexibility, allowing use of different M.2 drive technologies. The unit is compact and portable, enabling easy installation and transport of a single M.2 module without requiring internal computer access. Connection via USB4 maintains broad compatibility with modern laptops and workstations that implement the USB4 standard.

Suitable for

• Portable expansion of high-speed storage for laptops and desktops with USB4
• Fast backup and restore operations for single M.2 drives
• On-location media editing and transferring large photo or video files
• Cloning or testing individual M.2 NVMe or SATA modules

Key specifications

• Interface: USB4 up to 40Gbps (host-dependent)
• Supported drive types: M.2 NVMe and M.2 SATA modules (confirm compatibility with specific module key and length)
• Drive capacity: depends on installed M.2 module
• Form factor: external single-slot M.2 enclosure, portable design

How to use

Open the enclosure, insert a compatible M.2 NVMe or SATA module according to the guide, secure the module in place, and close the unit. Connect the enclosure to a host device that supports USB4 using an appropriate USB4 cable. The host operating system should detect the installed drive as an external storage device; if necessary, initialize or format the drive using the host OS disk management tools before first use. For best performance, connect to a USB4-capable port and ensure the system has the latest firmware and drivers.

Usage recommendations

Verify the exact M.2 key type (e.g., M-key or B+M-key) and module length supported by your drive before installation. Use a high-quality USB4 cable and a compatible host port to achieve maximum transfer speeds, and ensure proper cooling and intermittent usage to avoid thermal throttling during sustained heavy transfers.
