Portable NVMe enclosure for USB4 and Thunderbolt 3

The Orico M2V01-C4-GY-BP accepts a single M.2 2280 NVMe SSD up to 4 TB and connects through a USB4 Type-C port at 40 Gbps. It also works with Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 hosts. The all-aluminium body and included thermal vest conduct heat away from the drive without a fan.

Fits a single M-key or B+M-key NVMe stick.

The tray takes one 2280 module and the supplied 2-in-1 cable provides both a USB-C to C lead for 40 Gbps links and a USB-C to A lead for 10 Gbps ports. No external power adapter is required, so the enclosure draws power directly from the host port. SATA, AHCI and PCIe non-NVMe devices are not supported.

Aluminium chassis and thermal vest sustain

ORICO laboratory figures show a sequential read of 3151.14 MB/s and write of 2551.15 MB/s on a compatible drive, reaching the 3000 MB/s theoretical ceiling. The CNC-cut aluminium shell and full-wrap cooling vest keep temperatures stable during long transfers, while UASP, TRIM and smart sleep after ten minutes protect the SSD.

Questions about this item

What speed limit appears first when the enclosure runs at 40 Gbps for a long transfer?

The 40 Gbps USB4 link caps sustained throughput; the drive itself may be faster but cannot exceed the port.

How does the all-aluminium body with thermal vest and silicone pad handle heat and noise during all-day use?

Passive aluminium fins and the vest spread heat silently; no fan means zero noise and no power draw for cooling.

Which M.2 NVMe keying and length must the SSD already have to fit this enclosure?

The slot accepts M-key or B+M-key NVMe drives in 2280 size only; SATA or AHCI M.2 drives will not work.
