Dual M.2 SATA RAID Enclosure

This aluminum enclosure houses two M.2 SATA SSDs and connects through USB 3.1 Gen 2 at up to 10Gbps. It supports multiple RAID modes for capacity, performance or redundancy. The unit draws power from the host via a USB-A to Micro-B cable.

Creative professionals and mobile workers

Photographers, videographers and field staff who need fast, portable access to SATA-based M.2 drives will benefit from the dual-slot design and hardware RAID. Users whose drives use a different protocol or who require a desktop form factor with external power should consider other solutions.

USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the USB 3.1 Gen 2 connection delivering up to 10Gbps bandwidth. Your host must provide a USB-C or USB-A port capable of that speed to realise the enclosure’s full throughput.

Questions about this item

What M.2 SATA drive lengths will fit inside the SM22BU31C3R enclosure?

The enclosure accepts two M.2 SATA drives in the standard 2280 form factor.

How do I set the RAID mode on the SM22BU31C3R and what is the common mistake?

Use the hardware DIP switch on the enclosure to select RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD or single-drive mode before connecting power; the common mistake is changing the switch while drives are active.

The USB-A to Micro-B cable and the Micro-B port on the enclosure are the items most likely to wear out over time.
