Satechi Introduces DotDisk 80 Gbps SSD Enclosure With Active Cooling

Satechi has launched the DotDisk, a compact M.2 NVMe enclosure with a USB4 V2 interface running at up to 80 Gbps. Satechi isn’t new to the SSD enclosure space, having previously launched products like the compact Mini NVMe SSD in 2024, the USB4 Slim NVMe SSD enclosure last year, and the versatile Thunderbolt 5 CubeDock docking station shown at CES in January. This new addition can accommodate a single M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 drive and supports capacities up to 8 TB, with the slot being user-accessible for later upgrades. The enclosure is made from milled aluminium with an integrated cooling fan. Active cooling in something this small is worth noting, as most compact enclosures rely on passive heat dissipation and can throttle under sustained load. A thermal pad is included to help seat the drive properly against the heatsink.

The USB-C port covers Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, USB4 V2, and USB4, so it’ll work with most modern Macs and PCs without adapter hassle. A Thunderbolt 5 cable ships in the box alongside a magnetic screwdriver for installation. OS compatibility covers macOS Sonoma 14.6 and later, Windows 11, and Linux. Worth mentioning that the enclosure is not compatible with SSDs equipped with heatsinks, double-sided and 2230/2242/2260 sizes. The Satechi DotDisk comes in silver and Space Black and is available now at satechi.com for $199.99. No SSD is included.
