Aluminium enclosure for M.2 SATA SSD with Micro USB 3.0 port

LUOM

LUOM M.2 SATA B/B+M Key Enclosure 2230-2280 USB 3.0 Adapter

SKU CH-Z177-TR6Y9

Connects SATA M.2 drives (2230–2280) to USB 3.0 with UASP and aluminium cooling

  • Plug-and-play setup needs no drivers
  • UASP support speeds up SATA transfers
  • Aluminium shell dissipates heat for longer drive life
  • Fits 2230 2242 2260 2280 B and B+M key SSDs
  • USB 3.0 interface delivers up to 5 Gbps bandwidth

SATA M.2 Enclosure for B and B+M Key Drives

This USB 3.0 adapter turns a SATA-bus M.2 SSD into a portable external drive. It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors that carry a B or B+M key. The enclosure does not work with PCIe NVMe or PCIe AHCI drives that use an M key, so buyers with those modules must choose a different adapter.

Tool-free USB 3.0 Connection with UASP

The enclosure plugs into a USB 3.0 Micro-B port and requires no driver installation on Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Linux or Mac OS 10. UASP support reduces protocol overhead compared with standard bulk endpoints. An aluminium alloy shell acts as a heatsink for the bare SSD, replacing the thermal pad or bracket that a laptop or desktop slot would normally provide.

Sustained Transfer Up to 5 Gbps

The USB 3.0 interface caps sequential throughput at 5 Gbps, so extended read or write sessions settle at that ceiling rather than bursting higher. UASP keeps command latency low during long file copies, while the metal housing dissipates heat to prevent thermal throttling of the SATA SSD inside. Drives up to 1 TB capacity are supported.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 link become the bottleneck during long sequential transfers?

Yes, the enclosure tops out at the USB 3.0 5 Gbps ceiling, so sustained reads and writes cannot exceed that bandwidth.

How does the aluminum shell handle heat during all-day operation?

The aluminum alloy body acts as a passive heatsink, spreading drive heat across its surface to keep temperatures lower without a fan.

Must the host computer have a USB 3.0 port to use this adapter?

It works with USB 2.0 ports at reduced speed, but a USB 3.0 port is needed to reach the 5 Gbps transfer rate.
