AXAGON ADSA-M2C11L, M.2 NVMe SSD Docking Station, USB-C 10 Gbps
Docking Station for M.2 NVMe SSD with USB-C 10 Gbps
The compact AXAGON ADSA-M2C11L docking station is designed for quickly connecting a single M.2 NVMe SSD to a computer or laptop via a USB-C interface with speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Thanks to its open design, you can swap drives without any screws. The station is ideal for testing SSDs, service purposes, data transfer and migration, and for rapidly expanding your storage capacity. A reliable connection is ensured by the integrated 33cm USB-C cable, which is a fixed part of the device.

Fast and Stable Data Transfer
The USB 10 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2) interface offers a theoretical transfer speed of up to 10 Gbps, making it suitable for copying large files, backing up, and working directly from an external SSD. The actual performance depends on the type and generation of the M.2 NVMe SSD used. The proven JMicron JMS583 chipset helps maintain a stable transfer rate even under long-term load. This allows the connected drive to effectively utilise its performance and ensure smooth data transfers without significant fluctuations.
Easy Drive Access and Tool-Free Swapping
Once the docking station is connected to a computer, the system recognises the inserted drive as a standard external drive. The SSD can then be used for storing and copying files, as well as for storage management. The open design allows for quick, screw-free SSD changes, which makes working with multiple drives easier and saves time. The station supports NVMe M.2 SSDs without capacity limits and supports UASP, TRIM (NVMe DEALLOCATE), and S.M.A.R.T. technologies. It also features Plug and Play and a power-saving mode.
Compact and Practical Design
The docking station has a durable black plastic body with an open design that allows for easy insertion and replacement of SSDs without the use of screws. This speeds up drive testing, data migration, and general storage work. Anti-slip feet ensure stability on your desk.
Compatibility and Easy Connection
A fixed 33cm USB-C cable is part of the station, so you can't forget or lose it. The station can be connected to devices with a USB-C port and used with older USB standards as well as USB4 and Thunderbolt 3, 4, or 5 interfaces. Plug and Play technology allows for immediate use without installing drivers in Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPadOS, iOS, and ChromeOS operating systems.
