Portable NVMe adapter for idle drives
The MAIWO K1696P turns a spare M.2 NVMe SSD into an external drive through a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C connection. It accepts single-sided M-key modules in 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110 lengths up to 4TB. The gray enclosure weighs .08 lbs and measures 7.87*3.93*1 inch. No AC adapter is required.
Integrated short cable and tool-free slot
A 10 cm captive cable prevents tangling and keeps workspaces tidy. The inline design lets you insert the SSD directly into the M-key slot without screws or a separate enclosure body. Plug-and-play operation works on Windows, Mac OS and Linux with no driver installation. UASP support is included for reduced protocol overhead.
10 Gbps ceiling for large transfers
The USB 3.2 Gen 2 link tops out at 10 Gbps, so sequential reads and writes from fast NVMe media will saturate the bus. SATA-based M.2 drives with B+M keying are not supported, and the single bay cannot accommodate two drives simultaneously. First-time drives must be initialised, partitioned and formatted in the host OS before use.

Questions about this item
Does the MAIWO K1696P enclosure need a fan or thermal pad replacement after long use?
The enclosure has no fan and relies on its metal body for passive cooling, so there are no moving parts or thermal pads to replace over time.
What limits the 10 Gbps transfer rate during sustained heavy workloads?
The USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface caps throughput at 10 Gbps, so the enclosure itself becomes the bottleneck before the NVMe SSD reaches its own limits.
How hot or noisy does the K1696P get when running all day?
With no fan and a compact 7.87 by 3.93 inch aluminum shell, it stays silent and warm to the touch but does not throttle under typical all-day file transfers.
