PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

⚠️ Important Note: This product does not include hard drives.

This product does not include solid-state drives (SSDs) such as U.2, E.3, or M.2 drives. Please purchase hard drives separately—the device requires installed hard drives to operate.

Your Own 3000 MB/s Pocket Edit Bay

Internal NVMe speed no longer needs to stay inside a desktop tower. The WERO TBT5-1M2A1CDRP puts a single PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot behind a full 80Gbps Thunderbolt 5 interface — turning any compatible SSD into an external drive that delivers onboard performance. Carry a multi-terabyte active project in your backpack, plug into a laptop on location, and edit 8K ProRes directly without proxies.

Three Workflows It Transforms

On-Location DIT & Immediate Playback

Insert a high‑capacity M.2 2280 SSD into the tool‑free tray, connect the Thunderbolt 5 cable to a MacBook Pro, and ingest footage directly from a camera or card reader at bus speeds. The enclosure’s downstream Thunderbolt 5 port allows simultaneous connection of a reference monitor or another drive — no docking station needed. Play back 8K RAW timelines with zero dropped frames, even with color grading applied.

Mobile Editing Suite (Train, Plane, Client Office)

The aluminum body and bus‑powered operation mean you can edit anywhere you open your laptop. Move an active DaVinci Resolve project from the studio to a coffee shop — the drive performs exactly the same. No power brick to lose; Thunderbolt 5 provides the needed power to the SSD, while the passive thermal pad and chassis fins keep the drive cool during sustained writes.

Game Library & High‑Speed Backup Hub

For those moving massive game files or daily system clones, plug the enclosure into a Thunderbolt 5‑equipped PC. Transfer speeds exceed 3000 MB/s, shaving hours off large backups. The daisy‑chain port lets you connect a high‑refresh display or a second enclosure, keeping your USB‑C ports free.

Single Bay, Zero Compromise

  • 1 x M.2 NVMe slot – supports PCIe 4.0 x4, 2280 / 2242 / 2260 form factors, tested up to 8TB
  • Thunderbolt 5 80Gbps interface – symmetrical bandwidth for simultaneous read and write operations
  • Downstream Thunderbolt 5 port – daisy‑chain additional storage, 6K display, or accessories
  • Bus‑powered – no extra power adapter required for most M.2 SSDs (up to 15W power delivery)
  • Tool‑free drive installation – slide‑open aluminum case, secure the drive with a clip, slide back
  • Passive cooling architecture – thick aluminum shell with internal thermal pad transfers heat away from the SSD
  • Wide compatibility – works with Thunderbolt 5/4/3, USB4, Windows 11, macOS 14+, iPad Pro (M4)
  • Pocket‑sized durability – all‑metal construction, scratch‑resistant finish, ready for life on the road
