Single-bay SATA enclosure with USB 3.1 Type-C

This aluminium enclosure houses one M.2 SATA SSD up to 4 TB and connects through a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port rated at 10 Gbps. A combined C-to-C and C-to-A cable is included for direct attachment to laptops, desktops or phones that support USB OTG. The tool-free design lets you swap drives without screws or trays. A full-length cooling vest wraps the drive to dissipate heat during sustained transfers.

Suits users adding portable SATA storage to USB-C

Builders who need an NVMe or PCIe enclosure should look elsewhere because this model only accepts SATA protocol drives. It also supports a single drive, so anyone planning a multi-bay RAID array will need a different chassis. The 10 Gbps interface is limited by the SATA device itself, so peak throughput will not reach the port’s theoretical maximum.

USB 3.1 Gen 2 10 Gbps Type-C interface

The external connection uses USB 3.2 Gen 2 signalling at 10 Gbps over a Type-C plug, with the supplied 2-in-1 cable also delivering up to 60 W Power Delivery for host charging. This single specification determines whether your host port can drive the enclosure at full speed while simultaneously powering a connected laptop or tablet.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the enclosure is delivering USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds after I connect it?

Connect the enclosure to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port using the supplied C-to-C/A cable, then run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark; sustained sequential reads approaching the drive's rated limit confirm the 10 Gbps link is active.

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

The package includes the aluminium enclosure with its built-in cooling vest, a tool-free drive tray, and a 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C / USB-A cable; you must provide your own M.2 SATA SSD up to 4 TB.

Which capacity of M.2 SATA SSD should I choose for this enclosure?

Any M.2 SATA SSD up to 4 TB is supported; pick a capacity that matches your storage budget and workload — common choices are 500 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB or 4 TB.
