Dual-Protocol M.2 Enclosure

This aluminium enclosure accepts both NVMe and SATA M.2 drives in 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. It is aimed at users who want to repurpose an internal SSD as a fast, portable external drive without buying separate enclosures for each protocol. The RTL9210B controller handles the translation transparently. Drive not included.

USB-C 10Gbps Bus-Powered Kit

A reversible USB-C port delivers up to 10Gbps when connected to a USB 3.1 Gen2 or Thunderbolt 3 host, falling back to 5Gbps on USB 3.0 or 3.1 Gen1. The package includes a USB-C to C cable, a USB-C to A cable, two thermal pads and a screwdriver, so the drive can be fitted and connected to almost any modern laptop or desktop without an external power brick.

Sustained-Transfer Thermal Design

The solid aluminium shell acts as a heatsink, drawing heat away from the SSD during long read or write sessions. UASP and TRIM support from the RTL9210B controller keeps command overhead low, helping maintain consistent throughput rather than throttling after an initial burst. A blue LED signals active data transfer so you can monitor workload progress.

Questions about this item

What happens when the enclosure hits its 10 Gbps ceiling during long transfers?

The RTL9210B controller sustains 10 Gbps over USB 3.1 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 3, and UASP plus TRIM keep latency low even at peak throughput.

Does the aluminum shell and included thermal pads keep the drive cool enough for all-day use?

The aluminum body acts as a heatsink and two thermal pads are supplied, so heat is spread across the case without any fan or external power.

Which host port do I need on my laptop to use this enclosure?

A USB-C port running USB 3.0, 3.1 Gen 1, 3.1 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 3 will work; both USB-C to C and USB-C to A cables are included.
