Axagon ADSA-M2C11L USB-C 10Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Docking Station

USB 10Gbps docking station for NVMe SSD

The compact AXAGON ADSA-M2C11L docking station with a USB-C 10Gbps interface provides a simple way to connect one NVMe M.2 SSD to a computer in just a few seconds. The open design allows the SSD to be inserted or replaced without screws, making the docking station ideal for service work, SSD testing, data migration, or quickly expanding the storage of a computer or laptop. The integrated 33 cm long USB-C 10Gbps cable ensures a reliable connection.

Reliable data transfer

The USB 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2) interface provides a reliable transfer speed of 10 Gb/s for copying large files, backups, or working directly from an external SSD. The achieved speed also depends on the type and generation of the NVMe M.2 SSD used. At the heart of the docking station is the proven JMicron JMS583 chipset, which helps maintain stable transfer speeds even under high load and during long-term operation. The result is smooth data transfer without significant fluctuations and efficient use of the performance of the connected SSD.

Disk in the system and quick replacement

After connecting the docking station to a computer, the inserted disk appears as a standard external drive ready for immediate use. You can store data on it, copy files, or use it for storage management. It supports NVMe M.2 SSD drives without capacity limitations and modern technologies such as UASP, TRIM (NVMe DEALLOCATE) and S.M.A.R.T. Plug and Play and power-saving mode support are also included.

Practical design for everyday use

The durable black plastic body with an open design allows quick SSD insertion and replacement without screws, saving time when testing drives, migrating data or during everyday use. Anti-slip feet keep the docking station stable on the desk and make everyday use more comfortable.

Compatibility and easy connection

The integrated 33 cm long USB-C cable is a fixed part of the docking station, so it cannot be forgotten or lost. The station can be used with devices equipped with a USB-C port. It is compatible with older USB standards as well as USB4 and Thunderbolt 3, 4 and 5 interfaces. Plug and Play operation without driver installation and support for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPadOS, iOS and ChromeOS are also included.
