The compact AXAGON ADM2-AM hard drive enclosure features an M.2 adapter with a 10Gbps USB port, designed for easy use with M.2 NVMe or SATA SSDs. Reliable connection to a computer is ensured by a fixed 10 cm USB-A cable. Transfer speed reaches up to 10Gbps thanks to fast USB 3.2 Gen 2. The compact M.2 adapter supports features such as UASP, TRIM, and reading S.M.A.R.T. status monitoring information. It also supports standby mode when not in use.

A unique feature offered by the new chipset is support for both M.2 NVMe and SATA drives. The adapter supports all M.2 types, while fast and easy drive insertion and replacement make it a useful tool for data transfer and storage.

• USB 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2), female USB-A connection.
• Compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB4, and Thunderbolt 3/4.

Supported devices:

• NVMe M.2 SSD drives.
• SATA M.2 SSD drives.
• Designed for M key or B+M key cards.
• NGFF 75-pin M key socket for M.2 drives.

Other features:

• Supports 10,000 / 5,000 / 480 Mbit/s transfer speeds.
• Supports M key or B+M key NVMe (PCI-Express) and SATA (AHCI) M.2 SSDs without capacity limitations.
• Supports all M.2 drive sizes without length restrictions.
• Supports both single-sided and double-sided M.2 SSDs.
• Complies with PCI Express Base Specification Revision 3.1a.
• Complies with NVM Express 1.3 specification.
• Complies with Serial ATA 3.2 (SATA/600) specification, bit rates up to 6 Gb/s (600 MB/s).
• Complies with the USB Mass Storage Class specification.

The total transmission bandwidth/speed depends on the USB port used (theoretically 10 Gbit/s).

• The actual adapter bandwidth is approximately 1000 MB/s (1 GB/s), limited by the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port.
• Supports BOT (Bulk-Only Transport).
• Supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI) for faster data transfer on Windows 8 and later.
• Supports TRIM to reduce gradual SSD performance degradation.
• Supports the S.M.A.R.T. drive health monitoring system.
• Supports booting an SSD in an external enclosure.
• Hot Plug support allows connecting the device while in operation.
• Full Plug and Play support.
• USB 3.0 port power up to 900mA from a single USB port is sufficient in all cases.
• Connection indicator via blue LED (steady light) and data transfer (blinking).
