Asus has expanded its SSD enclosure lineup with the introduction of Asus Cobble. With a cobblestone-inspired design, the new SSD enclosure in black or gray brings aesthetics and durability to protect the internal SSD.
The IP55-rated aluminum-alloy exterior protects the data against dust and water while the integrated thermal pad ensures heat dissipation to keep the SSD cool and deliver sustained throughput speeds.
Asus Cobble supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 interface allows the device to transfer data to speeds of up to 10Gbps, supports both M.2 NVMe PCIe and SATA SSDs, and is compatible with Windows 11, macOS, mobile devices, and consoles like ROG Ally, PlayStation 5 and Xbox.
There's no pricing or availability details for the Indian market but if you are looking for an SSD enclosure, Asus sells the ROG Strix Arion and TUF SSD A1 in India.
