M.2 SATA to USB-C Enclosure
The SM21BMU31CI3 converts a M.2 NGFF B-Key SATA SSD into portable external storage for USB-C laptops, tablets or desktops. It accepts 2242, 2260 and 2280 drives and draws power from the host port. The integrated USB-C cable and aluminium housing keep the unit compact at 11x5x1.4 cm.
USB 3.1 Gen 2 host link and SATA III drive limit
The enclosure uses a JMicron JMS580 bridge to connect the SATA III 6 Gbps drive to a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C host interface rated at 10 Gbps. UASP and TRIM are supported on compatible operating systems. The practical throughput will not exceed the SATA III ceiling.
Check drive keying and OS TRIM support before
This enclosure only works with M.2 SATA drives that have a B-Key or B+M-Key notch; it will not accept M.2 NVMe or PCIe SSDs. Windows 7 and earlier do not enable TRIM over USB-to-SATA bridges. No driver or software installation is required on supported systems.

Domande su questo articolo
Which M.2 SATA drive lengths does this enclosure accept?
It fits 2242, 2260 and 2280 modules, all using the B-key SATA interface.
What real-world speed will I see from a SATA SSD inside this USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C enclosure?
The drive is limited by its SATA III 6 Gbps link, so the USB 10 Gbps connection will not increase throughput beyond the SATA ceiling.
Does the USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port deliver the full 10 Gbps to the drive?
The host link runs at 10 Gbps with UASP, but the internal SATA III interface tops out at 6 Gbps, capping actual drive speed.
