Compact M.2 2230 SATA enclosure

The Orico TC20-M2-10G-GY-BP is a transparent USB-C enclosure built exclusively for M.2 2230 SATA drives. It accepts a single stick up to the stated capacity limit and requires no external power adapter. The tool-free design makes it suitable for technicians and mobile users who need quick access to laptop-style drives.

Sustained 10 Gbps USB-C throughput

The USB Type C interface delivers up to 10 Gbps bandwidth with UASP and TRIM support active. Because the internal link is SATA III, real-world transfer rates remain consistent during long copy jobs instead of throttling after a short burst. The plastic shell stays cool without a fan during typical workloads.

Replaces bulky 2.5-inch caddies

This enclosure eliminates the need for a 2.5-inch SATA-to-USB adapter and cable clutter when migrating or cloning 2230 drives. The upgrade is worthwhile when you regularly service ultra-thin laptops or tablets that only accept the 2230 form factor. It does not support longer M.2 lengths or NVMe protocol drives.

Questions about this item

Does the transparent plastic shell of the Orico TC20-M2-10G-GY-BP get hot when the SATA drive runs all day?

The enclosure has no fan and relies on the clear plastic body to passively dissipate heat from the SATA drive during continuous use.

What cable or port must I already have to connect this USB-C enclosure?

You need a host device with a USB Type C port and a USB Type C to Type C cable to use the 10Gbps external interface.

Will this 2230-size enclosure work alongside my older 2.5-inch SATA drives?

It accepts only M.2 2230 SATA drives; older 2.5-inch SATA drives do not fit the internal slot.
