40Gbps NVMe Enclosure for M-Key SSDs
The Orico aluminium enclosure accepts single M-Key NVMe drives in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths up to 8TB. A USB Type-C connection delivers up to 40Gbps transfer speed. An integrated fan provides active cooling during sustained workloads. The tool-free design allows quick drive installation without screws.
Suits users needing portable high-speed NVMe storage
Builders who require multiple drive bays or support for B-Key modules should look elsewhere. The enclosure only accepts M-Key NVMe SSDs and holds a single drive. Systems without a USB-C port capable of high-bandwidth data transfer will not reach the stated performance.
40Gbps USB-C interface decides compatibility
The enclosure connects via USB Type-C and supports Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 hosts to achieve the 40Gbps ceiling. On standard USB 3.2 ports the drive will operate at lower speeds. Verify that the host port provides sufficient bandwidth for the intended workflow.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the enclosure is running at the advertised 40Gbps speed after connecting my SSD?
Connect the enclosure to a Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 port and run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark; sustained sequential reads and writes approaching 40Gbps confirm the link is operating at full speed.
What comes in the box and which items must be purchased separately?
The package includes the aluminium enclosure with a built-in cooling fan and a USB Type-C cable; you must supply your own M-key M.2 NVMe SSD in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 form factor.
Which M.2 length should I choose for my drive — 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280?
Match the enclosure to the physical length printed on your SSD; the tray accepts any single M-key drive from 2230 up to 2280, so select the size that corresponds to your module.
