Compact 2230 and 2242 NVME SATA enclosure

The Wavlink RapidFire MS2 turns a single M.2 2230 or 2242 NVME or SATA drive into a portable USB 3.2 Gen 2 device. It accepts M-key or B+M-key NVME SSDs and B+M-key SATA SSDs up to 8TB. The aluminum body includes a thermal pad and plate for heat dissipation. No AC adapter is required.

Tool-free installation with short cable

A sliding cover opens without tools so the SSD can be inserted and secured with the supplied silicone plugs. The enclosure uses a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 interface rated at 10Gbps with UASP support. The included USB-C to USB-C cable is 19.5cm long. A blue LED indicates power and activity.

Check SSD key type and host port speed

Verify the drive is M-key or B+M-key NVME or B+M-key SATA; B-key SATA drives are not supported. To reach the 10Gbps ceiling the host must provide a USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 3/4 port. The enclosure works with Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, iOS, iPadOS, ChromeOS and HarmonyOS devices including iPhone 15 and 16 series.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the blue LED indicator is showing normal operation after I install an M.2 2230 or 2242 SSD?

The blue LED lights when the enclosure receives power and blinks during data activity; steady on means the drive is recognised and idle, blinking means reads or writes are in progress.

What comes in the box and which parts must I supply myself?

Included: enclosure, USB-C to USB-C cable (19.5 cm), silicone thermal pad, aluminum plate, strap, three silicone plugs, quick start guide. You must supply an M-Key or B+M Key NVMe SSD or B+M Key SATA SSD in 2230 or 2242 size up to 8 TB.

Which SSD length should I choose between the 2230 and 2242 versions for this enclosure?

Both 2230 (30 mm) and 2242 (42 mm) M.2 SSDs fit; pick the length that matches the drive you already own or plan to buy — the enclosure accepts either size.
