What this enclosure does

The Orico M.2 SATA SSD enclosure lets you turn a single M.2 SATA drive into a portable USB-C device. It accepts B-Key and B+M Key modules in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 form factors up to 4TB. The tool-free slide tray and aluminium shell make drive swaps quick and keep the unit light at 0.1kg.

Who this suits and who it does not

Builders with spare M.2 SATA SSDs who want external storage for a laptop, PC, smart TV, router, PS4 or Type-C phone will find it simple and driver-free. Users holding M.2 PCIe AHCI or NVMe drives cannot use this enclosure because it only supports the SATA protocol.

The spec that decides compatibility

This unit works exclusively with M.2 SATA SSDs using B-Key or B+M Key pin-outs; NVMe and PCIe AHCI drives will not function. The USB-C connection delivers up to 450MB/s transfer speed, and the enclosure includes an auto-sleep indicator to show drive status.

Questions about this item

Does the aluminum body keep a 2280 SATA SSD cool enough for all-day use without a fan?

The aluminum casing acts as a passive heatsink for the 2280 SATA SSD, and the enclosure has no fan, so it relies on natural airflow during extended operation.

What cable and host port are required to reach the stated 5Gbps link speed?

The included USB-C to USB-A cable must be plugged into a host USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port to achieve the 5Gbps connection.

Will a 2242 PCIe NVMe drive work in this enclosure alongside an older SATA laptop?

No, the enclosure only accepts M.2 SATA B-Key or B+M Key SSDs such as 2242 SATA models; PCIe NVMe drives are not supported.
