Portable mSATA SSD enclosure

The ZTC ZTC-EN002 converts a 50 mm mSATA solid-state drive into a USB 3.0 portable drive. It suits users who want to reuse an existing mSATA SSD for external storage or quick cloning tasks. The tool-less cover clicks shut without screws for fast assembly.

SATA II and III headroom

The adapter supports both SATA II 3 Gbps and SATA III 6 Gbps drives so the enclosure does not bottleneck either standard. Performance tops out at the USB 3.0 link speed, so very fast SATA III SSDs cannot reach their internal ceiling. It will not accept 2280 or other length modules.

Low thermal load

The slim aluminium and plastic shell passively dissipates the modest heat of an mSATA SSD during normal file transfers. No fan is present so operation stays silent. Power comes entirely from the USB port, keeping cable clutter minimal.

Questions about this item

Will this enclosure work with my older laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the USB 3.0 interface is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 systems so the drive will function at the slower 2.0 speed.

How can I confirm the enclosure is transferring data correctly once connected?

The built-in LED indicator lights up to show data activity during read or write operations.

Does the package include a 50 mm mSATA SSD or do I need to supply my own?

Only the enclosure is supplied; you must provide a compatible 50 mm mSATA SSD separately.
