SATA M.2 enclosure with B and B+M key support

This LUOM adapter turns a SATA-bus NGFF M.2 drive into a USB 3.0 external SSD. It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form factors with either B-key or B+M-key pinouts. The aluminium alloy housing acts as a heatsink and the enclosure connects via a Micro USB 3.0 port with UASP for up to 5 Gbps transfer rates. No drivers are required on Windows 2000 through 8, Linux or Mac OS 10.

Suits owners of SATA M.2 modules wanting portable

Builders who have a spare SATA-bus M.2 SSD in one of the supported lengths can use this enclosure for backups, data migration or extra capacity on laptops and desktops. It will not work with PCIe NVMe or PCIe AHCI M.2 drives that use an M-key connector, so buyers with those modules must choose a different adapter.

Verify drive bus type.

Check that the SSD is a SATA-bus device and carries a B-key or B+M-key notch; M-key NVMe drives are physically incompatible. Confirm the module length is 30 mm, 42 mm, 60 mm or 80 mm to match the internal standoffs. Ensure the host system has a USB 3.0 port and supports the operating systems listed for plug-and-play operation.
