Product Features

All-in-one M

2 and USB solution. With compatibility for both PCIe NVMe and SATA based M. 2 drives, this enclosure solves the common challenge of identifying which enclosure is compatible with your M. 2 drive. Regardless of whether your M. 2 drive is SATA- or PCIe NVMe -based, you can rest assured that this enclosure will provide a high-performance solution for turning your M. 2 drive into a portable external enclosure.

Unparalleled performance

Leverage the high speeds of your M. 2 NVMe or SATA drive, with this external SSD enclosure. It delivers USB 3. 2 Gen 2x1 maximum theoretical throughput of 10 Gbps, which is twice the throughput of USB 3. 2 Gen 1x1 at 5 Gbps. The enclosure also supports PCIe 3. 0 which when combined with an M. 2 NVMe drive takes full advantage of the throughput available to USB 3. 2 Gen 2x1. This fanless aluminum enclosure features ventilation holes for maximum heat dissipation, ensuring your drive operates noiselessly at an optimal temperature to preserve performance and protect your drive from overheating damage.

Durable and portable

This slim, pocket-sized enclosure for PCIe NVMe- or SATA-based M. 2 drives is specially designed for mobility, with a small form factor design that fits easily into your laptop bag. Its lightweight, yet durable aluminum housing helps ensure your drive won't be damaged while you're on the move.
