M.2 NVMe enclosure with USB 3.2 Gen 2

The Orico TCM2 connects a single M.2 M-key NVMe SSD to a host over USB 3.2 Gen 2 at up to 10 Gbps. It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors and uses a tool-free sliding closure. The blue aluminium and plastic shell integrates a large silicone thermal pad and porous copper bars for heat dissipation. No external power adapter is required.

Suits users adding fast external NVMe storage

Builders who want to repurpose an M-key NVMe drive as a portable or desktop USB device will find the enclosure straightforward. It supports Windows, Mac and Linux with UASP and TRIM. Buyers needing room for more than one SSD, or who require a different internal interface or protocol, should look at a different enclosure type.

Single M-key NVMe slot limited to 2 TB per bay

The enclosure holds exactly one M.2 M-key NVMe drive and the manufacturer specifies a maximum capacity of 2 TB per bay. This capacity ceiling is the decisive specification when selecting a drive to install.
