Features

Connect a High-Performance NVMe Drive to Your Computer’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 Port

When the hard drive on your laptop is not large enough to hold all your photos, videos, music and
documents, Tripp Lite’s U457-1M2-NVMEG2 is the solution to help get the storage space you need and
retrieve data stashed on NVMe drives. This dependable enclosure adapter allows you to connect an M.2
NGFF NVMe solid state drive (M-Key) to any device with a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port, including a
MacBook, Ultrabook or Chromebook.

Transfers Data at Lightning-Fast USB 3.1 Gen 2 Speeds with UASP Support

This adapter supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps, which is twice the speed of USB

3.1 Gen 1, to give you more data storage, retrieval and backup capacity. It reads data up to 70 percent
faster and writes up to 40 percent faster when connected to a UASP-enabled host controller. The
enclosure is backward compatible with previous USB generations, allowing you to use it with older
equipment.

Reversible USB-C Connector Attaches in Either Direction

Unlike traditional USB cables that connect in only one direction, the reversible USB-C male connector
plugs into a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port in either direction for a fumble-free connection every time.

Just Plug and Play for Immediate Use Right Out of the Package

No software, drivers or external power supply is required. The U457-1M2-NVMEG2 is compatible with all
USB-enabled operating systems, including Windows, Mac and Linux. Its slim aluminum case fits easily
