I just got myself an external enclosure for 2 x NVME SSDs. Got it from AliExpress and from the description and the pictures I was expecting it to have only one USB port. However, it seems it has 2 ports, one for each SSD (basically it's a case with 2 SSD racks).

So I was wondering if it is possible to get a splitter (although not sure the splitter is the right word here). Basically I want something like the image bellow but with USB-C.

The thing is, I couldn't really find many options so I am wondering if what I want is even possible.

Is it? Any recommendations? Maybe I am not searching for the right thing?

LE: Basically there are 2 adapters in one enclosure.

USB splitters aren’t a thing. If you don’t have enough USB ports, you need a USB Hub. But really if at all possible you should be using two USB ports on your PC/laptop.

Using a bus-powered hub could result in the SSDs not getting enough power.
