The Express 1M2 is housed in a solid aircraft-grade aluminum enclosure designed not only for durability but also for thermal efficiency.

This means you can count on consistent peak performance — whether you're editing an 8K video project, transferring terabytes of images, or cloning internal drives.
Unlike plastic snap-together enclosures, the Express 1M2 uses a screw-secured design for maximum protection of your valuable data inside.
