What it is and who it's for

This EN-Labs enclosure connects M.2 SSDs to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port at 10 Gbps. It accepts both NVMe and SATA protocol drives in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. The RTL9210B controller enables UASP and TRIM for sustained performance. It suits users wanting fast external storage from a spare internal drive.

Before you order

Verify your M.2 drive uses an M-key or B+M-key connector; B-key-only SSDs will not fit. The enclosure does not support PCIe AHCI SSDs, mSATA drives, Wi-Fi cards or MacBook proprietary modules. Your host must provide a USB-C or USB-A port; both cable types are included. Drives up to 4 TB are supported per the specification.

Thermals noise and power

The aluminium alloy shell acts as a passive heatsink with no fan, so operation is silent. Power is drawn entirely from the USB bus — no external adapter is required. Under normal transfer loads the enclosure stays cool to the touch thanks to the metal construction and slim design.

Questions about this item

What cables come with the ENU325SSDAL and do I need to buy a power adapter?

The box includes both a USB Type-C to Type-C cable and a USB Type-A to Type-C cable; no AC adapter is required because the enclosure draws power from the USB port.

My drive is a 2280 M-key NVME — will this enclosure run it at the advertised 10 Gbps?

Yes, the RTL9210B controller supports PCI-E based M-key NVME SSDs up to 10 Gbps over USB 3.2 Gen 2, and the 2280 form factor fits the internal slot.

If I plug this into a USB 3.0 port, what speed will I actually see with a SATA M.2 SSD?

The enclosure is backward compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0 up to 5 Gbps, so a SATA M.2 SSD will be limited to that 5 Gbps link speed rather than its native 6 Gbps.
