Dual-bay M.2 enclosure

The MAIWO K2042P3 accepts two M.2 SSDs in sizes 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280, supporting both NVMe M Key and SATA B+M Key drives. It connects via USB-C and works with Windows, macOS and Linux. The magnetic cover enables tool-free installation.

USB 3.2 Gen2x2 20Gbps interface

The JMS586R chipset delivers up to 20Gbps bandwidth when the host port supports USB 3.2 Gen2x2. UASP and TRIM are supported on Windows 8.1 and above. Speed falls back through USB 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 and 2.0 on older ports. Cloning requires both drives to share the same protocol.

16TB total capacity with RAID and clone modes

RAID 0 combines both drives for maximum throughput, RAID 1 mirrors data for redundancy and PM mode presents each drive independently. Offline and online cloning copies NVMe to NVMe or SATA to SATA. The 5V 3A adapter powers the enclosure and built-in cooling fan.

Questions about this item

Which SSD sizes and protocols does the K2042P3 accept?

It takes M.2 NVMe M Key and M.2 SATA B+M Key drives in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 mm lengths.

What real-world speed can I expect from the 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2x2 link?

The JMS586R chipset and UASP support let each NVMe or SATA SSD run at its native limit, so large transfers hit the drive’s own ceiling rather than the port’s.

What does the USB-C 3.2 Gen2x2 interface actually cap in daily use?

The 20 Gbps ceiling is shared between the two bays; with one drive you can saturate the bus, with two in RAID 0 the combined throughput still tops out at 20 Gbps.
