Color Rose Gold

Size M.2 NVME SSD

Model USB 3.2 Gen2x2 (20Gbps)

  • Theoretical speeds up to 2000 MB/s via 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2x2
  • Aluminum shell with cooling vest wraps the SSD for all-round heat dissipation
  • Supports M-Key and B&M-Key NVMe drives in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 sizes
  • 2-in-1 cable gives USB-C to C at 20 Gbps and USB-C to A at 10 Gbps
  • Tool-free slide-in design turns an internal NVMe SSD into a portable drive

Portable NVMe Enclosure

The Orico M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure adapts a single M.2 PCIe NVMe drive with M-key or B+M-key connectors into an external drive. It accepts drive lengths of 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 millimetres. The unit is intended for users who want to reuse an internal NVMe module as portable storage without a SATA drive. It does not support M.2 SATA SSDs, PCIe AHCI SSDs or other PCIe devices.

Aluminium Build With Dual Cable

An all-aluminium alloy shell uses CNC-cut stripes and a wrap-around cooling vest to conduct heat away from the SSD. The external connection is a USB Type-C port operating at USB 3.2 Gen2x2 20Gbps. A single 2-in-1 cable provides both a USB-C to USB-A plug rated at 10Gbps and a USB-C to USB-C plug rated at 20Gbps for flexible host compatibility.

Upgrade From Slower Enclosures

The 20Gbps interface raises the theoretical throughput ceiling to 2000MB/s compared with 10Gbps enclosures limited to 1000MB/s. The jump is worthwhile when the host system has a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 port and the NVMe drive can saturate the link. Builders who need to connect SATA M.2 drives or who only have 10Gbps or 5Gbps ports will not gain the extra bandwidth.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 3.2 Gen2x2 interface really deliver 20 Gbps, and what read/write speed does that cap at?

The enclosure uses a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C link rated at 20 Gbps, giving a theoretical maximum of 2000 MB/s for NVMe drives.

Which M.2 lengths and key types fit inside the aluminum shell?

It accepts M-key or B+M-key NVMe SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors; SATA or AHCI M.2 drives are not supported.

How do I install the SSD, and what step do people usually miss?

Slide the NVMe drive into the M-key slot at an angle, press it flat, secure the screw, then snap the thermal pad and aluminum cover on before connecting the cable.
