USB 3.0 Type-A to M.2 SATA Enclosure

This enclosure connects NGFF M.2 SATA SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths to a USB 3.0 Type-A port. The compact alloy shell measures 107 by 25 by 9 mm and weighs 40 g. No separate data cable is required because the USB connector is built into the housing. It suits anyone who wants to reuse a compatible SATA M.2 drive as portable storage.

Suits SATA M.2 drives only

The adapter accepts Key-B M.2 SSDs that use the SATA communication protocol across the four supported lengths. It works with Windows XP and later, Linux and macOS without extra drivers. Builders who need to connect a PCIe-based M.2 SSD cannot use this enclosure because the circuitry does not support that protocol. Users without a USB 3.0 Type-A port will also need a different solution.

Single protocol decides compatibility

The only specification that determines whether a drive fits and functions is the SATA communication protocol requirement. Any M.2 SSD that operates on a different protocol will not work, regardless of its physical size or keying. Buyers must confirm their drive uses SATA before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the enclosure include an M.2 SATA SSD or must I supply one?

The package contains only the USB 3.0 Type-A to NGFF M.2 enclosure; a compatible M.2 Key-B SATA SSD in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 size must be purchased separately.

Which M.2 lengths does this enclosure accept?

It supports M.2 Key-B SATA drives in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors; choose the length that matches your SSD.

What transfer speed can I expect from a SATA SSD inside this USB 3.0 enclosure?

The USB 3.0 interface provides up to 5 Gbit/s bandwidth; real-world throughput will be limited by the SATA SSD’s own read and write speeds.
