Green SATA enclosure for M.2 drives

The Orico enclosure houses a single M.2 SATA SSD in sizes 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280. A tool-free sliding cover lets you insert or remove the drive in seconds. It connects to a host over USB Type-C and requires no driver installation.

Passive cooling with integrated heatsink

A built-in metal heat sink draws heat away from the SSD during sustained transfers. The plastic shell adds no active cooling, so the unit runs silently without a fan. Power comes entirely from the USB connection, keeping cable count low.

Fits 2230 to 2280 SATA modules only

The tray accepts the four common M.2 lengths up to 2280 and supports drives up to 4 TB. NVMe PCIe SSDs are not compatible, so buyers needing PCIe speeds must choose a different enclosure. An A-to-C cable is included for ports without USB-C.

Questions about this item

How do I install a 2280 SATA drive in the sliding cover and what step is often missed?

Open the sliding cover, insert the M.2 SATA SSD at an angle, press it flat and secure it with the latch; the step often missed is confirming the drive uses SATA protocol, not NVMe, because this enclosure only supports SATA.

What maintenance will the built-in metal heat sink need over time?

The metal heat sink requires no moving-part maintenance; simply clear dust from its fins occasionally with compressed air to keep cooling performance consistent for the 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 drive.

What limit appears first during sustained transfers over the USB Type C link?

The SATA 6 Gbps interface caps sustained throughput, so the drive will hit that ceiling before the USB Type C connection or the heat sink becomes the bottleneck.
