  • Theoretical read/write up to 1000 MB/s with NVMe drives via 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2
  • All-aluminium body with CNC-cut fins and wrap-around cooling vest for passive heat dissipation
  • Supports M.2 2280 NVMe and SATA SSDs with M-key, B-key or B+M-key
  • Included 2-in-1 cable provides USB-C to C and USB-C to A connectors both at 10 Gbps
  • UASP and TRIM support maintains performance and SSD health during external use

10 Gbps M.2 Enclosure for NVMe and SATA

This aluminium enclosure accepts a single M.2 SSD with M-key, B-key or B+M-key connectors in the 2280 form factor. It connects to a host computer through a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and includes a dual-headed cable that provides both USB-C-to-A and USB-C-to-C plugs for broad device compatibility.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 limits and protocol differences

The USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface tops out at 10 Gbps, so an NVMe drive can reach a theoretical 1000 MB/s while a SATA drive is capped at its native 6 Gbps link, yielding about 480 MB/s. UASP and TRIM are supported to maintain consistent throughput and drive health, but the enclosure cannot overcome the lower ceiling of the SATA protocol itself.

Aluminium construction and thermal design

The all-aluminium shell uses CNC-cut stripes to enlarge the surface area, and an internal cooling vest wraps the SSD on all sides to conduct heat away from the controller and flash. Tool-free assembly lets you swap drives quickly, and the single-bay layout keeps the unit compact for desk or travel use.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this enclosure for an NVMe drive or a SATA drive?

It supports both M.2 NVMe and SATA SSDs in the 2280 form factor, so either protocol works.

What does the 1000 MB/s figure mean when the enclosure is connected to a PC?

That is the theoretical maximum for an NVMe drive over the 10 Gbps USB link; a SATA drive will be limited to 480 MB/s.

Which USB standard does the Type-C port use and what speed does it cap at?

The port is USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10 Gbps, and the included dual-head cable provides both USB-C-to-A and USB-C-to-C connections at that rate.
