Tool-free M.2 SATA enclosure for portable storage

This red plastic enclosure accepts a single M.2 SATA SSD and connects it to a host over USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C at 6Gbps. The sliding cover opens without tools so the drive can be fitted or swapped in seconds. It is built for users who want a lightweight, bus-powered way to turn an internal SATA module into external storage.

Supports 2230 to 2280 modules up to 4TB capacity

Compatible lengths are 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280mm, covering the common M.2 form factors used in laptops and desktops. A built-in metal heat sink draws heat away from the controller and NAND during sustained transfers. The SATA 6Gbps link sets the practical throughput ceiling, so sequential speeds will not exceed the SATA bus limit.

B-key and B+M-key SATA only — not NVMe

The socket fits both B-key and B+M-key modules but the bridge controller speaks SATA, so NVMe drives will not function in this enclosure. Hot-swap and driver-free operation work on Windows, macOS and Linux when a SATA-based M.2 SSD is installed. Buyers with NVMe-only modules need a different adapter.

Questions about this item

Will the enclosure work with a SATA M.2 SSD I already have in 2280 size?

Yes, the enclosure accepts M.2 SATA drives in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths and connects them over USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C.

How can I confirm the drive is running at full speed once connected?

The metal heat sink keeps the SSD cool during sustained transfers; check your OS disk utility to verify the link is operating at the expected SATA 6 Gbps rate.

Does the package include a USB-A to USB-C cable so I can plug it into older ports?

The box contains the red plastic enclosure with built-in heat sink and a USB-A to USB-C cable; no separate cable purchase is needed.
