Portable NVMe Enclosure
The Vantec NST-205C3-SG is a bus-powered M.2 NVMe enclosure that connects to a host via USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C. Its anodised aluminium shell acts as a heatsink for the installed module. The package includes a USB-C to USB-C cable, thermal pad, heat-transfer plate, screwdriver and mounting screws. It supports module lengths 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 with an M-key interface.
Who It Suits
Travellers and technicians who want a compact, driver-free way to read or write a single NVMe module on Windows 10, Mac OS X 10.10 or later, Chrome OS or Linux. A physical switch sets read-only mode to guard data against modification. Buyers who need to house more than one module at a time should look at multi-bay alternatives. The enclosure has no fan and relies on passive cooling alone.
M-Key Only Constraint
The internal slot accepts M.2 NVMe modules with an M-key notch only; B-key or B+M-key drives will not fit. This single specification decides whether your existing SSD is compatible. Supported lengths are 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280. No external power adapter is required.
