1.TB34/TB34M1

This is a silver Thunderbolt 3 SSD enclosure with a weight of about 106.5g and a size of about 100*50*14mm. It is equipped with only one JHL7440 chip, with an theoretical transmission bandwidth of 40Gbps, and supports Thunderbolt 4/3 and USB 4 interfaces. TB34M1 is an upgraded version of TB34, the difference is that it is installed without tools, while TB34 needs to be fixed with screws.

2.TBU405AIR

This is a dark gray aluminum alloy Thunderbolt Type-C hard drive box that weighs about 97 g and measures about 101*14*51mm. Like TB34, it only carries one JHL7440 chip. The theoretical transmission bandwidth is 40Gbps and only supports Thunderbolt 4/3 and USB 4 interface protocols. Its shell is similar to the TBU405, with many stripes to speed up heat dissipation. At the same time, this product is also tool-free to install and use.

3.TBU401

This Thunderbolt SSD enclosure is similar to TB34 in appearance, both are silver, and the size is almost the same, but it is heavier in weight, about 125g. The most important difference between it and TB34 is that TBU401 is equipped with two chips JHL7440 and RTL9210B, which makes it not only support Thunderbolt 4/3, but also USB 4.0/3.2/3.1/3.0/2.0. So if you need a Thunderbolt SSD enclosure that can support most interfaces, then TBU401 is your solution!

4.TBU405/TBU405M1

TBU405 is the same as the aforementioned Thunderbolt SSD casing, compatible with Thunderbolt 4/3, USB4.0/3.2/3.1/3.0/2.0 interfaces, supports NVMe protocol, 22*80 length, and M.2 interface SSD with a maximum capacity of 8TB. It is different from TBU401, its color is dark gray or light gray, and its aluminum alloy shell has more stripes, which will help it dissipate heat better. In addition, it is lighter than the above Thunderbolt NVMe M.2 SSD housing, probably only about 97g, it also needs screws to fix it. So this is the lightest Thunderbolt 40Gbps NVMe M.2 SSD enclosure. If you need something portable and compact, this is the one for you!
The main difference between TBU405M1 and TBU405 is that TBU405M1 can be installed without the need for any tools, while TBU405 requires tools for installation.
