Color Rose Gold

Size M.2 NVME SSD

Model USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps)

  • Turns an internal NVMe SSD into a 10Gbps portable drive
  • All-aluminium body with cooling vest conducts heat away from the SSD
  • 2-in-1 cable gives USB-C and USB-A 10Gbps connections
  • Fits 2280 M-key and B+M-key NVMe drives only
  • Supports UASP, TRIM, SMART and 10-minute smart sleep

Portable NVMe Enclosure

The Orico aluminium enclosure converts a single M.2 NVMe SSD into a USB-C external drive. It accepts M-key and B+M-key modules in the 2280 form factor and connects at up to 10 Gbps. The rose-gold finish and bundled dual-head cable suit mobile professionals who need fast, tool-free storage expansion.

NVMe-only compatibility

This enclosure works exclusively with PCIe NVMe drives; M.2 SATA and PCIe AHCI modules are not supported. The USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 interface delivers a theoretical 1000 MB/s, with Orico lab tests reaching 1200 MB/s on a Samsung 970 EVO Plus. UASP, TRIM and SMART pass-through are enabled for 70 % faster reads and 40 % faster writes versus conventional USB 3.1.

Passive aluminium cooling

A full-wrap aluminium vest and silicone thermal pad conduct heat away from the SSD, while CNC-cut stripes on the top cover increase dissipation area. The drive enters smart sleep after ten minutes of inactivity to reduce power draw and extend lifespan. An LED indicates active or sleep status during normal desktop or laptop use.

Questions about this item

What real-world speed can I expect from the 10 Gbps USB-C link?

The enclosure supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 at 10 Gbps with UASP and TRIM, giving a theoretical ceiling of 1000 MB/s; actual throughput depends on the NVMe drive used.

Does the USB-C port run at USB 3.2 Gen 2 or an older standard?

It uses USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 (the current name for 10 Gbps USB-C), so the interface caps at 10 Gbps and is backward compatible with slower USB ports.

Which M.2 module lengths and keys fit inside the aluminium case?

The enclosure accepts single-sided M-key or B+M-key NVMe SSDs in the 2280 form factor; SATA or AHCI M.2 drives are not supported.
