Shanghai Xinxie Industrial Co., Ltd. 2 in 1 accessory Floppy Disk Style NVMe 2230/2242 enclosure Grey

SKU CH-E2JN-16JV2

A floppy-disk styled USB 3.2 Gen 2 enclosure that holds single-sided NVMe 2230 or 2242 drives up to 2.5 mm thick and reaches 1000-1200 MB/s for direct 4K ProRes capture on iPhone 15.

  • Retro floppy-disk design evokes 1990s nostalgia
  • USB 3.2 Gen 2 delivers up to 10 Gbps transfer speed
  • Fits single-sided M.2 2230 or 2242 NVMe SSDs under 2.5 mm thick
  • Direct 4K ProRes capture to external drive on iPhone 15/16/17 Pro models
  • Plug-and-play Type-C connectivity with backward compatibility to USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0

Retro Floppy-Disk Enclosure for NVMe 2230/2242

This USB 3.2 Gen 2 enclosure mimics a 3.5-inch floppy disk from the 1990s while housing a single-sided NVMe SSD in 2230 or 2242 form factor. It connects via Type-C and works with laptops, tablets and phones that support external storage. The drive must be thinner than 2.5 mm to fit the slot.

Sustained 10 Gbps Transfer Through USB 3.2 Gen 2

The interface delivers up to 10 Gbps bandwidth, yielding real-world read and write speeds between 1000 and 1200 MB/s once an NVMe drive is installed. An HD movie can move in roughly 2 seconds. Performance scales back gracefully on USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0 hosts without driver hassles.

Replaces Bulky Adapters for Mobile ProRes Capture

It removes the need for a separate transfer step when shooting 4K 120 Hz ProRes on iPhone 15, 16 or 17 Pro models, writing footage straight to the NVMe stick. Builders who need 2280 support or double-sided modules cannot use this enclosure.

Questions about this item

Does the 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 enclosure run hot or draw much power during all-day transfers?

The aluminium floppy-disk shell acts as a passive heatsink; with single-sided 2230/2242 NVMe drives it stays warm but not hot during sustained 1000–1200 MB/s reads and writes, and it draws power only from the host USB-C port.

What host port and SSD must I already own to use this enclosure?

You need a USB-C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) or at least USB 3.1 Gen 1 / USB 3.0, plus a single-sided M.2 2230 or 2242 NVMe SSD (B+M or M key) no thicker than 2.5 mm.

Will this enclosure work with the USB 3.0 Type-A ports on my older laptop?

Yes — the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface is backward compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0, so you can connect it via a Type-C to Type-A cable or adapter, though speeds will drop to the older port’s 5 Gbps limit.
