• Read & Write Speed Over 6000 MB/s
• Supports Up to 8TB M.2 NVMe SSD
• Compatible with Thunderbolt 5/4, USB 4.0
• Plug and Play, Driver-free, Adjustable Cooling Fan

• 1. Confirm Thunderbolt Port Availability
  Make sure your computer has a Thunderbolt port. All Apple computers released in 2015 or later with Thunderbolt 4 ports are compatible. For Windows computers, those released after 2016 with Thunderbolt 5/4/3 or USB4.0 ports will also work.
• 2. Choosing an SSD
  We have tested dozens of SSDs to ensure that our customers can find the right one for their needs. We recommend the Samsung 990 Pro/980 Pro, Western Digital SN850/SN850X, and Crucial P3 Plus.
• 3. Formatting the SSD
  When using the SSD on macOS, you can choose either Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or APFS (whichever is faster for your needs). For Windows, select NTFS. If you want to use it on both systems, choose ExFAT (make sure to format it as ExFAT on macOS).
• 4. Data Backup
  Please back up your data before using the SSD enclosure. If you encounter any issues with product quality during the warranty period, customer service can assist with device replacement; however, we cannot provide data recovery services or cover losses due to data loss. We appreciate your understanding regarding this matter.

Important Note: SSDs with integrated heatsinks exceed our enclosure's internal dimensions and are not recommended for installation.

Q&A

• Q1: The TB501Pro has a black button that indicates the fan. What does it do, or do I have to activate it?
  A: This black button is used to adjust the fan. The fan will start automatically when a certain temperature is reached. You can also manually adjust the fan status through this button.
• Q2: Why is my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt 3 port connected to the TB501Pro only getting 10Gbps speed?
  A: The compatibility of Thunderbolt 3 computers with Thunderbolt 5 interfaces is not that good. They will be automatically classified as USB channels if they are not compatible. In this case, we recommend you use Thunderbolt 3 hard drive enclosures if you use Thunderbolt 3 computers. A Thunderbolt 3/4 40Gbps hard drive enclosure will be faster if the USB channel is recognized.
