Works with PCIe and SATA M.2 Drives | Supports 2230/2242/2260/2280 Drive Heights | Tool-Free Drive Installation | USB-C and USB-A Host Cables IncludedTurn your PCIe M.2 NVMe or SATA AHCI M.2 SSD into a highly portable USB external storage solution. This enclosure features USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) with UASP support and PCIe 3.0 delivering real-world read/write data transfer speeds of up to 1GB per second. Working with both PCIe and SATA drives, this enclosure provides compatibility with a wide range of M.2 drives, supporting M-Key (PCIe) and B+M-Key (SATA) drives in 2230/2242/2260/2280 sizes. The enclosure is also backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 based drives, at reduced PCIe 3.0 performance. USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps (also known as USB 3.2 Gen 2x1) is backward compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1 5Gbps (also known as USB 3.0), USB 2.0, and USB 1.1. All-in-one M.2 and USB solutionWith compatibility for both PCIe NVMe and SATA based M.2 drives, this enclosure solves the common challenge of identifying which enclosure is compatible with your M.2 drive. Whether your M.2 drive is SATA or PCIe NVMe based, you can rest assured that this enclosure will provide a high-performance solution to transform your M.2 drive into a portable external enclosure. For added compatibility, the enclosure works with multiple drive lengths supporting 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280mm drives including Samsung (850, 860, 870, 950, 960, 970) Kingston, Seagate, Western Digital (WD), HP, and Intel SSDs. For cross-platform support of this enclosure, it features a USB-C host connection and includes two different 30cm host cables, a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A cable. This, combined with USB protocol backwards compatibility, ensures that this M.2 enclosure will work with virtually any computer, whether it's USB-A, USB-C, or Thunderbolt 3/4.Tool-Free Drive InstallationThe M2 SATA or M.2 NVMe SSD external enclosure supports driverless plug-and-play installation and features tool-free drive installation, allowing you to install your drive without any tools.Unmatched PerformanceHarness the high speeds of your M.2 NVMe or SATA drive, with this external SSD enclosure. It delivers a maximum theoretical throughput of 10Gbps over USB 3.2 Gen 2x1, which is twice the throughput of USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 at 5Gbps. The enclosure also supports PCIe 3.0, which when paired with an M.2 NVMe drive takes full advantage of the throughput available for USB 3.2 Gen 2x1. This fanless aluminum enclosure features ventilation holes for maximum heat dissipation, allowing your drive to operate quietly at an optimal temperature to maintain performance and protect your drive from damage due to overheating. Durable and Portable This slim, pocket-sized enclosure for PCIe NVMe or SATA based M.2 drives is purpose-built for mobility, with a small form factor design that fits easily into your laptop bag. Its lightweight yet durable aluminum enclosure helps ensure your drive won't be damaged while on the go. The M2-USB-C-NVME-SATA is backed by a 2-year StarTech.com warranty and free lifetime technical support. The StarTech.com Advantage
