USB 3.2 Gen 2 Enclosure for NVMe and SATA

The ASUS ROG STRIX Arion White is an external enclosure that accepts M.2 NVMe PCIe or SATA SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. A USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x1 interface delivers up to 10 Gbps with NVMe drives, while SATA models reach 6 Gbps. The aluminium-alloy shell meets MIL-STD-810H drop resistance and IP68 dust and water protection. A tool-free Q-latch secures the drive without screws.

Best for Portable High-Speed Storage

This enclosure suits users who want fast external storage from an existing M.2 drive and value rugged, water-resistant construction. It is not for buyers who need to install 2.5-inch SATA drives or 3.5-inch desktop drives. It also does not support drives longer than 2280 mm or proprietary form factors.

Check Drive Length and Host Port

Verify your M.2 SSD uses a 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 form factor and an M-key or B+M-key notch compatible with NVMe PCIe or SATA protocols. Ensure your host device provides a USB-C or USB-A port capable of USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds to achieve the rated transfer rates. The package includes both USB-C to C and USB-C to A cables for connection.
