Tool-free aluminium NVMe enclosure

The ORICO ACOM2-U4-GY-BP is a single-bay M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure built from aluminium with a built-in cooling fan. It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 M-key drives up to 8TB and connects via a USB-C interface supporting 40Gbps bandwidth. Tool-free installation lets you swap drives in seconds without screws.

For creators and portable workflows

Professionals moving large video or project files between Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, USB4 and USB 3.2 hosts will benefit from the sustained speeds and active cooling. Users limited to USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports will not reach the advertised throughput. Builders needing multi-bay RAID or SATA M.2 support should look elsewhere.

40Gbps USB-C interface decides fit

The enclosure delivers up to 40Gbps over USB-C and requires a host port rated for Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 to achieve that ceiling. On USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports the link tops out at lower speeds, and on USB 3.1 or 3.0 it drops further. Verify your device's port specification before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install an M.2 2280 SSD into the tool-free aluminium enclosure?

Slide the drive into the M-key slot at a slight angle, press it flat, then secure it with the built-in latch — no screwdriver required.

Will the cooling fan need cleaning or replacement over time?

The integrated fan runs continuously; periodic dust removal with compressed air keeps airflow effective, and the fan is not user-replaceable.

At what point does sustained write speed hit the 40 Gbps interface ceiling?

Continuous large-file transfers will saturate the 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 link before the SSD reaches its own 7000 MB/s limit.
