TESmart’s New Breakthrough in Thunderbolt™ 5
Up to 7000 MB/s · 80 Gbps
7000 + MB/s
Quad-Cooling, Max Speed
Compatible with M.2 NVMe SSD
For Geeks, By Geeks · 7000 + MB/s · 80 Gbps
Built on the latest Intel JHL9480 (B2) Thunderbolt™ 5 controller, the TESmart X5 Series redefines external storage speed.
- Up to 7000 MB/s real-world throughput — twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 4.
- Designed for creators, engineers, and gamers who demand instant data access.
- PCIe 5.0 ×4 NVMe architecture ensures zero bottleneck performance.
Whether you’re editing 8K video, rendering 3D assets, or transferring TB-sized datasets, the X5 Series delivers pure speed without compromise.
TBE-X5Max · JHL9480 (B2) + ASM2364 · Dual-Chip Design
TBE-X5Max pushes Thunderbolt™ 5 performance even further with a dual-controller architecture engineered for versatility and sustained throughput.
- Intel JHL9480 (B2) manages Thunderbolt™ 5 / 4 and USB4 signal paths with full-bandwidth stability.
- ASM2364 bridge chip expands compatibility to legacy USB standards, including USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20 Gbps), USB 3.1, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 — no adapters required.
- Fully supports PCIe 5.0 / 4.0 / 3.0 NVMe SSDs for up to 7000 MB/s read speed.
This dual-chip synergy delivers the perfect balance between raw speed and broad device support, ensuring consistent high-speed transfer across every platform.
Mac mini M4 Pro + Samsung 990 PRO 2 TB (Real Test Data)
Real testing shows the X5Pro consistently achieving over 7000 MB/s read and 6600 MB/s write on PCIe 5.0 SSDs.
- Tested under sustained load for > 10 minutes without thermal throttling.
- Demonstrates how close real-world performance is to Thunderbolt™ 5’s theoretical limit.
Your drive’s only limit is the SSD inside it.
Performance means nothing without thermal control. TESmart’s quad-layer cooling design keeps peak speed sustainable.
- Full aluminum shell for direct heat conduction.
- Precision ventilation holes, optimized through 100+ airflow simulations, maintain a stable cooling channel.
- Silent PWM Smart Turbo Fan adjusts speed intelligently.
- High-efficiency thermal pad ensures continuous thermal transfer.
After hundreds of wind-tunnel tests, the result is a perfectly balanced airflow system that sustains top speed without noise or throttling.
Supports PCIe 5.0 (e.g., Samsung 9100 PRO)
Engineered for the latest M.2 NVMe standards.
- Accepts PCIe 5.0/4.0/3.0 x4 M.2 2280 SSDs (up to 8 TB).
- Optimized pin mapping ensures full-lane performance without bottlenecks.
⚠ Only supports 2280 form factor drives.
Every X5 enclosure is bench-tested to guarantee compatibility and stability with top-tier SSDs.





TBE-X5Pro vs TBE-X5Max vs Others
In the Box
Installation Guide
Both share the same Thunderbolt™ 5 (80 Gbps) core — but differ in focus.
- X5Pro: Single-chip (JHL9480 B2) for pure PCIe 5.0 speed and thermal efficiency.
- X5Max: Dual-chip (JHL9480 B2 + ASM2364) adds full USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20 Gbps) backward support and wider host compatibility.
Others still use older JHL9480 B1 or half-speed chips (JMS583/RTL9210), causing heat, throttling, and limited speed (~6000 MB/s vs TESmart’s 7000 MB/s).
Everything you need to get started is included:
- 80 Gbps SSD Enclosure × 1
- 80 Gbps Thunderbolt™ 5 Cable × 1
- M.2 Screws × 2
- Silicone Thermal Pads × 2
- User Manual × 1
Ready for plug-and-play performance right out of the box.
Set up your SSD in minutes with simple, tool-assisted assembly.
- Use the included M.2 screwdriver to open the cover.
- Insert the 2280 SSD at a 15° angle, then secure it with the screw.
- Apply the thermal pad on top of the SSD for optimal heat transfer.
- Close the cover and tighten the screws.
You’re ready to experience Thunderbolt™ 5 speed in seconds.
