Turn an internal SATA SSD into portable storage

The Orico M.2 SATA enclosure accepts B-key or B+M-key drives in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. It connects over USB 3.2 Gen2 and includes a dual-headed cable with USB-C and USB-A plugs. Theoretical read and write speeds reach 550 MB/s. It is not compatible with NVMe or PCIe SSDs.

Tool-free assembly with a screw-retained lid

Slide the SSD into the M.2 slot, secure it with the captive screw and snap the aluminum shell shut. The included 2-in-1 cable removes the need for separate adapters. A common mistake is inserting an NVMe drive, which fits physically but will not be recognised because the bridge only speaks SATA.

Aluminum body acts as a heatsink under sustained

The CNC-cut alloy chassis wraps the drive and spreads heat across its striped surface. During long sequential transfers the enclosure stays cool enough to maintain the SATA link at its 6 Gbps ceiling without throttling. Performance is limited by the SATA protocol rather than thermal constraints.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the enclosure is running at the stated 550 MB/s after I connect my M.2 SATA SSD?

The enclosure uses a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C interface limited to the SATA 6 Gbps protocol, so the theoretical ceiling is 550 MB/s. Confirm actual throughput by running a sequential read/write benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark on the host computer.

What comes in the box and is anything else needed to install a 2280 SSD?

The package includes the aluminum enclosure with a built-in cooling vest and a 2-in-1 cable that provides both USB-C to USB-A and USB-C to USB-C connections. No extra tools or cables are required for a 2280 drive.

Which SSD keying and length should I select for this gray aluminum model?

Choose an M.2 SATA drive with B-key or B+M-key notches in any of the supported lengths: 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280. NVMe or PCIe AHCI drives will not work with this enclosure.
