Dual-protocol M.2 enclosure

The Orico TCM2M-C3 is a USB 3.1 Type-C enclosure that accepts a single M.2 SSD in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 lengths. It handles both NVMe and SATA protocols so one unit covers the two common M.2 drive types. A transparent aluminium-and-plastic shell doubles as a heatsink, and the package includes 50 cm Type-C-to-Type-C and Type-A-to-Type-C cables. Tool-free installation makes drive swaps straightforward.

Suits mixed-drive workflows, not multi-bay needs

This enclosure fits users who move between NVMe and SATA M.2 modules and want a single, portable adapter for laptops, desktops, phones with OTG, smart TVs or game consoles. It is not for anyone who needs to run two or more SSDs simultaneously, nor for builds that require internal mounting or RAID configurations.

Protocol support decides fit

The defining specification is dual-protocol compatibility: the board reads both NVMe and SATA M.2 drives. If your SSD uses one of those two protocols and matches the listed keying and lengths, the enclosure will work; if the drive uses a different interface, it will not.

Questions about this item

Does the aluminum-and-plastic shell keep an NVMe or SATA drive cool during all-day use?

The transparent PC plus aluminum-alloy construction acts as a passive heatsink, dissipating heat from either NVMe or SATA SSDs without a fan.

Which cables are already in the box so I can connect it to my laptop or desktop?

A 50 cm USB Type-C to Type-C cable and a 50 cm USB-A to Type-C cable are both included for plug-and-play use.

Will a 2230 or 2242 SSD fit alongside the standard 2280 size in the same tray?

The enclosure accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 M-Key or M+B-Key drives, so shorter modules mount securely without adapters.
