USB 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps M.2 NVMe enclosure

The Thermalright HR-EB101 is a compact aluminium enclosure that turns an M.2 NVMe SSD into a portable USB-C drive. It delivers up to 10 Gbps theoretical bandwidth over USB 3.2 Gen2 and supports UASP, TRIM and S.M.A.R.T for efficient data handling. The CNC-machined shell includes thermal pads to help manage drive temperature during sustained transfers.

Suits NVMe SSDs up to 8TB in 2230 to 2280 sizes

This enclosure accepts M-key and B+M-key NVMe drives from 2230 through 2280, making it useful for laptop pull-outs and full-size desktop modules alike. It is not for SATA M.2 SSDs, nor for users who need 2.5-inch SATA support, multi-bay RAID, or a fan-assisted design. Builders requiring more than a single NVMe slot should look elsewhere.

Single-bay NVMe only with screw-fastened mount

The decisive spec is that the HR-EB101 houses exactly one M.2 NVMe SSD secured by a screw-fastened bracket, with no SATA protocol support. Included thermal pads, a screwdriver, mounting hardware, and both USB-C to C and USB-C to A cables complete the kit for immediate use with Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android hosts.

Questions about this item

Which M.2 NVMe lengths does the HR-EB101 accept?

The enclosure fits 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 M.2 NVMe drives with M Key or B+M Key, up to 8 TB per bay.

What real-world speed can I expect from the 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen2 link?

The 10 Gbps theoretical ceiling translates to roughly 1 GB/s sequential throughput when the host, cable and SSD all support USB 3.2 Gen2 and UASP.

Does the USB-C port require a specific host standard to hit 10 Gbps?

The port is USB 3.2 Gen2; it reaches 10 Gbps only when connected to a host port that also runs USB 3.2 Gen2 or USB 3.1 Gen2, otherwise it falls back to the host's maximum speed.
