Orico M224 USB4 40 Gbps NVMe Enclosure

The Orico M224 enclosure connects a single M.2 NVMe SSD through a USB4 Type-C interface rated at 40 Gbps. Laboratory tests show sequential read speeds up to 2800 MB/s and write speeds up to 2100 MB/s. An all-aluminium body with a CNC-cut cooling vest wraps the drive for passive heat dissipation. A bundled 2-in-1 cable provides both USB-C to C and USB-C to A connectors rated at 10 Gbps.

Suits owners of M-key

Builders with M.2 SATA SSDs, PCIe AHCI drives or other non-NVMe modules cannot use this enclosure. Users whose systems lack a USB4 or 10 Gbps USB port will not reach the advertised throughput. The single-bay design does not support RAID or multiple drives simultaneously.

Deciding spec: USB4 40 Gbps interface

This single figure determines whether your SSD and host port can deliver the 2800 MB/s read and 2100 MB/s write potential. Only NVMe drives are compatible; SATA or AHCI M.2 modules will not function. Actual performance scales with the SSD capability and the host controller generation.

Questions about this item

What M.2 length does the Orico M224-40Gbps enclosure accept?

The enclosure fits a single 2280 NVMe SSD and uses an M-Key slot that also takes B+M Key drives.

How is the drive secured and what step do people miss?

Slide the SSD into the M-Key connector at a slight angle, press it flat, then fasten the retaining screw; the thermal pad must sit on the controller before you close the aluminium shell.

Which part will need replacement if speeds drop after heavy use?

The thermal pad between the SSD and the aluminium cooling vest can dry out; replacing it restores heat transfer and sustained 2800 MB/s read performance.
