Product Description

Supports PCIe and SATA M.2 Drives | Compatible Drive Heights 2230/2242/2260/2280 | USB Type-C & USB-A Host Cables Included

Transform your PCIe M.2 NVMe or SATA AHCI M.2 SSD into a highly portable external USB storage solution. This enclosure features a USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 (10 Gbit/s) port with UASP support and PCIe 3.0, providing read/write data transfer speeds of up to 1 GB per second. Compatible with both PCIe and SATA-based drives, this enclosure ensures compatibility with virtually all M.2 drives, supporting M-Key (PCIe) and B+M-Key (SATA) drives in 2230/2242/2260/2280 sizes.

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

All-in-One M.2 and USB Solution

Compatible with PCIe NVMe and SATA-based M.2 drives, this enclosure solves the common problem of finding a compatible enclosure for 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 heights supporting 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 mm drives, including SSDs from Samsung (850, 860, 870, 950, 960, 970), Kingston, Seagate, Western Digital (WD), HP, and Intel.

For cross-platform support, this enclosure with a USB-C host connection includes two different host cables, a USB-C to USB-C cable (50 cm) and a USB-C to USB-A cable (25 cm). With USB protocol backward compatibility, this M.2 enclosure ensures operation with virtually all computers, whether they are USB-A, USB-C, or Thunderbolt 3.

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 Gbit/s for USB 3.2 Gen 2x1, which is double the throughput of USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 at 5 Gbit/s. 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, ensuring silent operation at optimal temperatures to maintain drive performance and protect it from overheating risks.

Durable and Portable

This slim enclosure for PCIe NVMe or SATA-based M.2 drives is specially designed for mobility, thanks to its compact form factor that easily fits into your laptop bag. Its durable and lightweight aluminum casing protects your drive while you are on the go.

Simplified Drive Installation

The external M.2 SATA or M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure supports plug-and-play driverless installation and simplified drive installation. A screwdriver is included to ensure that no additional tools are needed.
