Tool-free 10 Gbps NVMe enclosure

The Orico M.2 NVMe enclosure turns a single PCIe M-key or B&M-key SSD into an external USB-C drive. It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors up to 4 TB and works with Thunderbolt 3 hosts. The aluminium body and integrated heatsink provide three-layer cooling without a fan. Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation on modern systems.

Push-cover tray installs in seconds

A tool-free push-cover tray slides open so the SSD can be seated and locked without screws. The silicone thermal pad and aluminium cooling vest contact the drive immediately for heat transfer. Common issues are inserting a SATA or AHCI M.2 module, which the enclosure does not support, or forgetting to remove the protective film from the thermal pad before closing the cover.

Verify drive protocol and host port

Confirm the SSD is a PCIe NVMe M-key or B&M-key model; SATA and AHCI variants will not function. The host must provide a USB-C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 3 for the 10 Gbps link. The enclosure draws power from the bus, so no external adapter is needed. Dimensions are 124 by 35 by 14 mm and weight is 0.1 kg.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the enclosure is operating correctly once the SSD is installed?

The drive should appear in your operating system and transfer data at up to 10 Gbps through the USB Type C port; the aluminium body and thermal pad will feel warm under sustained load, showing the three-layer cooling is active.

What comes in the box and what must I supply myself?

The enclosure includes a silicone thermal pad, a cooling vest heatsink and a tool-free push-cover tray for 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 M-key NVMe SSDs; you must provide the NVMe SSD and a USB-C cable.

Which M.2 length should I choose for my NVMe drive?

The tray accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors, so match the length printed on your NVMe PCIe M-key or B&M-key SSD — 2280 is the most common for full-size drives.
