MIKU Edition enclosure for PCIe M.2 drives

The ASUS ROG STRIX MIKU Edition is a USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 Type-C enclosure designed for M.2 PCI Express SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors. It supports M key and B+M key modules and operates at 10 Gbps. The Moonlight White all-metal case includes RGB Sync lighting driven by ARGB. No drive is included and Micron P5 SSDs are not supported.

Passive aluminium shell runs 0 °C to 70 °C

The enclosure has no fan and relies on its metal body to dissipate heat across an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C. Power is drawn from the host USB port at 5 V and the unit weighs 98 g. Humidity tolerance spans 15 % to 80 % during use and 10 % to 90 % in storage, while storage temperatures reach -30 °C to 60 °C.

Dual cables and eject pin simplify setup

A USB-C to C cable and a USB-C to A cable are bundled for direct connection to modern and legacy ports. A customised card eject pin allows tool-free drive installation and removal. ARGB lighting control requires Windows 10 RS3 or later through the Aura Sync ecosystem.

Questions about this item

How do I install an M.2 PCIe 2280 drive into the ASUS ROG STRIX MIKU Edition enclosure, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the M-key or B+M-key slot, secure it with the screw, then use the supplied eject pin to lock the tray before connecting the USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 cable; skipping the pin leaves the drive loose.

What maintenance will the enclosure need after months of daily use?

No scheduled maintenance is required; keep vents clear, operate between 0 °C and 70 °C, and store between -30 °C and 60 °C to avoid thermal stress on the all-metal case.

What limit appears first during sustained 10 Gbps transfers?

The 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 interface caps throughput before the PCIe drive can saturate it, so sustained speeds plateau at the bus maximum.
