Aluminium enclosure with USB-C

The Athena Power EN-M21USBC is a compact metal enclosure that turns a single M.2 NVME drive into a portable USB-C storage device. It draws power from the host connection and requires no external adapter.

Suited for M-key NVME modules up to 80mm

Builders with an M-key NVME stick measuring 22 by 60mm or 22 by 80mm can install it quickly using the included thermal pad, heatsink cover and screws. Drives with a different key layout or longer form factor will not fit this enclosure.

USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface at 10Gbps

The JMS583 controller delivers up to 10Gbps over the USB-C link while remaining compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1, 3.0 and 2.0 hosts. Transfer speed is the specification that determines whether this enclosure meets your workflow needs.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the EN-M21USBC and do I need to buy anything else to use it?

The package includes a USB Type C to USB Type C cable, a USB Type C to USB Type A cable, a screwdriver, mounting screws, a heat sink cover, thermal pad and a spare front panel; no separate purchase is required.

Which M.2 SSD sizes does the EN-M21USBC support so I can pick the right one?

It accepts single M‑Key NVME drives in 22 x 60mm or 22 x 80mm form factors; other lengths or key types will not fit.

What does the 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 rating mean for real transfer speeds with my NVME drive?

The JMS583 controller lets the enclosure run at up to 10Gbps over USB Type C, so a fast NVME SSD can saturate that link; on older USB 3.0 or 2.0 ports the speed drops to the port’s limit.
