⚠️ 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.
Enterprise Speed, Desktop Simplicity
Unlock the full potential of your U.2 NVMe SSD over Thunderbolt 3. Purpose-built for servers, workstations, and pros who refuse to compromise on storage performance.
Direct U.2 Connectivity
Insert your enterprise U.2 SSD and access massive databases, VM images, or 8K media without a noisy server rack.
On-Location DIT Vault
Offload high-bitrate footage to a single high-capacity U.2 drive and review 8K RAW dailies on the spot.
SQL / AI Dataset Runner
Plug in a 15TB U.2 drive and run large datasets locally—no network latency, no cloud egress fees.
Enterprise IT Toolkit
Clone, migrate, or wipe U.2 drives directly from a laptop. A go-to tool for sysadmins and field engineers.
When Your Storage Can't Be an Afterthought
U.2 SSDs are the backbone of modern data centers—phenomenal endurance, low latency, and capacities up to 30TB per drive. Yet until now, accessing them outside a server meant bulky PCIe adapters. The WERO 1XU2-V40 changes that. Connect any U.2 NVMe drive to your Thunderbolt 3 laptop or desktop and harness the same enterprise performance without the data center roar. Whether you're a cinematographer dumping terabytes on set, a scientist processing simulation data, or an IT pro maintaining a fleet of servers, this enclosure makes your U.2 SSD truly portable.
- Thunderbolt™ 3 40Gbps – up to 2,800 MB/s read/write, fully exploiting the PCIe 3.0 x4 lane.
- Native U.2 NVMe support – accepts 2.5" U.2 drives (SFF-8639), backward compatible with M.2 via adapter (not included).
- Tool-free aluminum chassis – slide the drive in, lock the door. Heavy-duty passive cooling ensures consistent speed under sustained load.
- Daisy-chain ready – second Thunderbolt port lets you connect a 4K monitor, another SSD, or a dock without sacrificing speed.
- Universal OS compatibility – no drivers needed. Works instantly with macOS (M1/M2/M3) and Windows 10/11. Linux kernel support included.
- Bus-powered design – powered directly via Thunderbolt 3 cable (15W). No power brick needed for most U.2 SSDs. External DC jack available for power-hungry models.

For the Multi-OS World
Format the drive in APFS, NTFS, or EXT4—the enclosure is transparent to your file system.
⚠️ Note: U.2 SSD not included. Bus power sufficient for most drives; some high-power 15mm U.2 SSDs may require the external DC adapter. Ensure your host device supports Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4.
