Product Description

Works with M.2 PCIe and SATA drives | Supports drive heights of 2230/2242/2260/2280 | Tool-free drive installation | USB-C and USB-A host cables included

Transform your PCIe M.2 NVMe or SATA AHCI M.2 SSD into a highly portable USB external storage solution. This enclosure features USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) with UASP support and PCIe 3.0, providing real-world read/write data transfer speeds of up to 1 GB per second. Compatible with both PCIe and SATA drives, this enclosure ensures compatibility with a wide range of M.2 drives, supporting M-Key (PCIe) and B+M-Key (SATA) drives in sizes 2230/2242/2260/2280. The enclosure is also upstream compatible with PCIe 4.0 based drives, at reduced PCIe 3.0 performance.

USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps (also known as USB 3.2 Gen 2x1) is backward compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1 5Gbps (also known as USB 3.0), USB 2.0, and USB 1.1.

All-in-one M.2 and USB solution

With compatibility for PCIe NVMe and SATA based M.2 drives, this enclosure solves the common challenge of identifying which enclosure is compatible with your M.2 drive. Whether your M.2 drive is SATA or PCIe NVMe based, you can be assured that this enclosure will provide a high-performance solution to transform your M.2 drive into a portable external enclosure. For added compatibility, the enclosure works with multiple drive lengths supporting 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 mm drives, including Samsung (850, 860, 870, 950, 960, 970) Kingston, Seagate, Western Digital (WD), HP, and Intel SSD drives.

For multi-platform support of this enclosure, it features a USB-C host connection and includes two different 30 cm host cables, a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A cable. This, combined with the backward compatibility of the USB protocol, ensures that this M.2 enclosure will work with virtually any computer, whether it is USB-A, USB-C, or Thunderbolt 3/4.

Tool-free drive installation

The external M2 SATA or M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure supports plug-and-play driverless installation and features tool-free drive installation, allowing you to install your drive without any tools.

Unmatched performance

Leverage the high speeds of your M.2 NVMe or SATA drive with this external SSD enclosure. It offers a maximum theoretical throughput of 10 Gbps in USB 3.2 Gen 2x1, which is twice the throughput of USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 at 5 Gbps. The enclosure also supports PCIe 3.0 which, when paired with an M.2 NVMe drive, fully utilizes the available bandwidth for USB 3.2 Gen 2x1.

This fanless aluminum enclosure features ventilation holes for maximum heat dissipation, allowing your drive to operate quietly at an optimal temperature to maintain performance and protect your drive from overheating damage.

Durable and portable

This slim, pocket-sized enclosure for PCIe NVMe or SATA based M.2 drives is specifically designed for mobility, with a compact form factor that easily fits into your laptop bag. Its lightweight yet durable aluminum casing ensures that your drive will not be damaged during transport.
