Aura RGB Lighting

The external enclosure is designed in the signature style of the ROG series, featuring asymmetrical edges of the aluminum casing and an integrated Aura RGB lighting system. The lit-up logo also serves as an activity indicator. The metal construction effectively dissipates heat, and additional cooling is provided by two thermal pads located in the lid.

Tool-Free Drive Installation

The design of the model allows for the installation of an M.2 NVMe SSD without using tools. It supports four popular drive form factors: 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. The drive is connected via a PCIe 3.0 4x interface, while connection to a computer or laptop is realized through a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port. The maximum data transfer speed can reach a theoretical value of up to 10 Gbps.

Stability is a Sign of Mastery

The only noticeable limitation of the model is its support for drives up to 2TB in size. In all other aspects, the external enclosure demonstrates confident and stable performance, providing high throughput and automatic connection based on the Plug & Play principle.
