Description
M.2 SSD Enclosure for M.2 SATA Drives - USB 3.1 (10Gbps) - USB-C: Use your SATA M.2 drive as ultra-fast external storage over USB 3.1 Gen 2
Compact, rugged enclosure with integrated USB-C cable and broad compatibility
Product Overview:
It does exactly what it says: turns an M.2 SATA SSD into fast, pocketable external storage you can trust. Plug the built-in USB-C cable into a laptop or tablet and you get USB 3.1 Gen 2 speed with UASP efficiency, which means transfers feel snappy and steady instead of jerky. The aluminum shell sheds heat and resists knocks, and it accepts common M.2 SATA lengths including 2242, 2260 and 2280. If you travel with a MacBook, Dell XPS or a USB-C Chromebook, this keeps your files close at hand and quick to open.
Key Features:
- USB 3.1 Gen 2: Moves large files at up to ten gigabits per second, so backups and edits finish faster and cleaner.
- UASP Support: Uses protocol-level efficiency to reduce latency and make the drive feel more responsive during heavy work.
- Integrated USB-C Cable: A built-in six-inch cable keeps you ready to plug in without hunting for cords.
- Aluminum Enclosure with Ventilation: Sheds heat and stands up to daily handling while keeping the SSD cooler under load.
- Multi-size M.2 Support: Accepts 2242, 2260 and 2280 SATA M.2 drives and works with Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, no adapters needed.
