M.2 SATA enclosure for 2230 to 2280 drives

This tool-free case accepts a single M.2 SATA SSD in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 form factors up to 4 TB. It connects over USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C for 6 Gbps throughput. The sliding cover removes without tools so the drive can be swapped in seconds. Hot-swap support means no driver installation is required on Windows, macOS or Linux.

Passive metal heatsink keeps temperatures low

A built-in aluminium heat spreader draws heat away from the controller and NAND during sustained transfers. The plastic shell stays cool to the touch and there are no moving parts, so the enclosure runs silently. Power comes entirely from the host USB port, removing the need for an external adapter.

SATA protocol only — not NVMe

This adapter bridges M.2 SATA drives to USB; it does not support PCIe or NVMe modules. Buyers with NVMe sticks must choose a different enclosure. The single-bay design also means only one drive can be used at a time.

Questions about this item

How do I install an M.2 SATA SSD (2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280) into the Orico enclosure?

Slide the cover off, insert the SSD at an angle into the B-Key or M+B-Key slot, press it down and secure it with the included screw, then slide the cover back on. No tools are needed for the cover.

What maintenance does the built-in metal heat sink require over time?

The passive metal heat sink has no moving parts. Occasionally blow dust from its fins with compressed air so airflow around the SSD stays clear.

What limits transfer speed during long copy jobs with this USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C enclosure?

The SATA 6 Gbps interface of the installed SSD sets the ceiling for sustained throughput.
