M.2 NVMe SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter Tool-Free, USB C 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps NVMe, 5Gbps NGFF SATA PCIe M-Key(B+M Key) 2230/2242/2260/2280, Aluminum External M2 Reader Support UASP Trim- PWDM2-BK

Used this adapter to switch out an M2 on a laptop, worked as it should and I am typing from that same laptop as I write this review. Speed, connectivity, and accessories all worked as advertised making the transfer easy. Going to grab a big M2 for the enclosure and use it as a storage drive. Good value for the money.

The manual describes the disassembly of the external adapter's housing, which took the guesswork out of that part of the project. Included are rubber stops, heat tape, a metal heat exchanger and a relatively large surface area aluminum shell. I was remotely, through our corporate IT staff, extracting my data from a company work laptop whose BIOS corrupted, and then installing that same data on a replacement company laptop. Because it was a company computer, I pulled the bad laptop M2 SDD and flexed up its attached plastic heat sink to allow the SDD signal connection to physically go into this adapter. The adapter friction held onto the SDD sufficiently to slide the heat sink on without the heat tape and gently wedge the aluminum housing over that, squeezing the housing, heat sink and laptop plastic heat sink together which held the signal end of the SDD into the adapter without needing to use the included rubber pin. I plugged the included type C USB cable into the adapter end and then into the operating replacement company laptop USB C port. Immediately, the company laptop recognized a drive F:. I proceeded to copy all data from the bad laptop M2 SDD in the external adapter as quickly and easily as if it were another internal SDD in the good recipient laptop. Additionally, I was able to touch the adapter housing while it was attached and communicating with my good laptop while improperly sandwiched together, with the signal end of the bad laptop SDD still attached to the signal end of the adapter and the other end of the bad laptop SDD attached to its plastic heat sink, adapter heat sink, sandwiched by the aluminum adapter housing and hanging out of the adaptor. All were very cool to touch, with the laptop heat sink only slightly (perhaps less that 5°F) warmer than the rest of the adapter held components that were squeezed together by the adapter aluminum housing (that appeared by touch to be at room temperature). I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THIS that I'm keeping this M2 SDD external adapter to obtain and permanently install a large M2 SDD in the adapter for a laptop external portable storage unit.

I needed this to fix the SSD in my desktop PC (corrupted file prevented Windows from booting up). It was really easy to install the SSD thanks to a tool-free design. I only needed to slide the bottom off, install the SSD into the slot, and secure the end with a clever rubber plug. It is a nice compact size, and came with heat sink materials (not needed for my SSD or for the amount of time I was using it), and feels durable with a good USB-C cable. File deletion speed felt quick, and I could also view files when I plugged it into my Chromebook as well as Windows PCs. Excellent for any need!

Instructions aren’t super helpful but it worked. The transfer took forever but I don’t know if the enclosure had anything to do with that. The plugs they give you to hold the drive down were a bit too wide to go through the holes so it didn’t feel as secure as I would have liked.

using this to copy brains to new laptop, and it's currently running about 500MB/s on Linux, with bursts over 970MB/s. yep, almost a gigabyte per second.extremely easy to change internal storage device - tool-free design. The outside of the case gets quite warm (hot) under load which shows that it's moving heat away from flash chips, which probably also avoids thermal throttling.

The manufacturer reached out and gave me many options for replacement or refund and made everything right. They were pretty quick with the responses. Thank you for the great service. You guys are amazing.------------------This enclosure was working great for a couple months. The setup was easy and because it uses a rubber stopper instead of a screw it is very convenient to use. However, after a couple months, the enclosure would suddenly stop functioning and the drive would disappear when I slightly move or even touch it. I'm not sure how many times an SSD can stand to get unplugged while getting data transferred onto it but I'm scared to use this now. I tried different USB c cables and I tried different nvme m2 SSD but it's all the same unreliable result. I contacted Amazon who promised me a refund over two weeks ago but that never happened. Hoping this review will change that. Will update with a resolution if there is one.

Please see below update added December 8, 2025.This is a great combination for those who prefer to keep their backups of personal data close to home rather than floating in the cloud. A 2TB WD Black M.2 SN770 and an Orico M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure. I use it for system backups and find the SN770's SLC buffering technology absorbs 100s of GBs at blinding speeds. My entire system is backed up in just over 10 minutes. And the Orico enclosure was truly a breeze to configure. What's not to like?12/8/2025I'll tell you what's not to like. Beware the "Device settings were not migrated" event in the RealTek firmware Properties. Looks like I'm not the first to deal with this and, so far, I see no fix posted anywhere.So, I hereby lower my rating to 1 star and issue this warning: Your perfectly good SSD can't be initialized because the Orico enclosure is sadly wanting. Don't even think of replacing the enclosure with another Orico because yours is likely not fried, it's just logically "impaired" as indicated by the event error above. There's a missing handshake somewhere in the chain of control from Windows to drivers to enclosure to SSD. To Windows, your SSD looks like it's READY, but it's NOT! It cannot be accessed, initialized, or formatted.I suggest trying a different enclosure MANUFACTURER! I'm waiting for mine to be delivered and hoping a better enclosure will force a "clean" install starting with Initialization of the attached 2TB SSD.

يعمل بشكل رائع وممتاز جدا ، وحل لدي العديد من المشاكل

working good for me

Maravilha de produto, ainda não testei, estou esperando chegar o ssd

Just works great.Been using for a while now and it has never let me down.Quick and easy for swapping out NVME drives.

Works great, tested it with my SSD SATA drive, no problem.
