Color Gray

Size M.2 NVME SSD

Model USB 3.2 Gen2x2 (20Gbps)

  • 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2x2 interface enables up to 2000 MB/s theoretical transfer speed
  • Aluminum enclosure with cooling vest and thermal pad conducts heat away from the SSD
  • Supports M.2 NVMe 2280 drives with M-Key or B+M-Key, not SATA or AHCI models
  • Included dual-head cable offers USB-C to C at 20 Gbps and USB-C to A at 10 Gbps
  • UASP, TRIM and SMART support plus 10-minute auto-sleep extend drive lifespan

Portable NVMe Enclosure at 20 Gbps

The Orico USB 3.2 Gen2x2 enclosure turns a single M.2 NVMe SSD into an external drive with a 20 Gbps USB Type-C interface. Theoretical speeds reach 2000 MB/s while lab tests recorded 1875.41 MB/s read and 1874.02 MB/s write. An all-aluminium body with CNC-cut fins and a wrap-around cooling vest manages heat during sustained transfers. A supplied 2-in-1 cable provides both USB-C to C at 20 Gbps and USB-C to A at 10 Gbps connectivity.

For NVMe Drives Only — Not SATA

Builders with M.2 PCIe NVMe drives in 2280 size using M-key or B+M-key pinouts can use this enclosure. It does not support M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs or other M.2 PCIe devices. Users needing to connect multiple drives simultaneously or requiring SATA protocol compatibility should consider a different solution. The single-bay design limits operation to one NVMe module at a time.

Check Host Port and Drive Keying

Verify that the host system offers a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 or USB4 port to reach the advertised 20 Gbps rate; slower ports will reduce throughput. Confirm the SSD is an NVMe model in 2280 form factor with M-key or B+M-key layout before ordering. The enclosure supports capacities up to 4 TB and includes UASP, TRIM and SMART passthrough plus a 10-minute smart sleep function. An LED indicates power and activity status.

Questions about this item

Do I need to own an M.2 NVMe SSD in the 2280 size before using this enclosure?

Yes, you must supply your own M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD in the 2280 form factor with either an M key or B+M key; SATA or AHCI M.2 drives are not supported.

Will my existing USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps Type-A port still work with the included dual-headed cable?

The supplied cable provides a USB-C to USB-A connector rated at 10Gbps, so the enclosure will operate at up to 10Gbps on that port rather than the full 20Gbps.

How can I confirm the enclosure is delivering the advertised 20Gbps performance after setup?

Run a benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark on a capable USB 3.2 Gen2x2 port; ORICO's lab measured sequential read at 1875.41MB/s and write at 1874.02MB/s with a compatible NVMe SSD.
