NVMe M-Key SSD Adapter for USB-C and USB-A Hosts

This enclosure connects NVMe PCIe M-Key and B+M M.2 SSDs in 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths to a computer using the attached Type-C and Type-A cables. It uses the RTL9210B controller with UASP and Trim support. The aluminium shell provides passive cooling. The unit is bus-powered and works with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11, Linux and macOS without extra drivers.

Check Drive Keying and Host Port Before Buying

Verify the SSD is an NVMe PCIe model with an M-Key or B+M edge connector; M.2 PCIe AHCI drives, mSATA drives, WiFi cards and capture cards are not supported. Ensure the host has a USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 1 or USB-C port; maximum throughput reaches 10 Gbps on USB 3.2 Gen 2 or USB4 links and falls back to 5 Gbps on USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1 connections. No external power supply is required.

Replaces SATA-Only or Bulkier USB Enclosures

This adapter upgrades from enclosures limited to M.2 SATA SSDs or larger docks needing AC power, adding NVMe support in a slim, portable shell. The jump is worthwhile when moving a fast NVMe drive between USB-C and USB-A systems, or when a compact, driver-free solution with hardware Trim is needed. It does not suit users needing mSATA, AHCI PCIe or non-M.2 drive support.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy an SSD separately?

The enclosure ships with an attached Type-C and Type-A cable. NVMe and SATA SSDs are not included, so you must supply your own M.2 drive.

Which M.2 sizes and key types does this enclosure accept?

It fits 2242, 2260 and 2280 NVMe PCIe M-Key or B+M Key SSDs. M.2 PCIe AHCI, mSATA and non-M.2 drives are not supported.

What real-world speed can I expect from the RTL9210B chipset over USB 3.0?

The RTL9210B supports UASP and TRIM. Over USB 3.1 Gen1 or USB 3.0 the link runs up to 5 Gbps; for higher throughput use a USB-C Gen 2 10 Gbps or USB4/TB3/TB4 port.
