Bare green circuit board enclosure with USB-C port and M-key slot for 2242 2260 2280 drives

Vszerda

Vszerda Type-C USB3.2 20Gbps to M-Key M.2 SATA NVME Enclosure 2242/2260/2280 RTL9220

SKU CH-YFAM-BF1B7

USB 3.2 20 Gbps enclosure holds 2242, 2260 or 2280 M-key M.2 SATA or NVME drives with auto mode switching via RTL9220

  • Up to 20Gbps throughput with USB3.2 Gen2x2
  • Auto-detects NVMe or SATA via RTL9220 bridge
  • Fits 2242, 2260 and 2280 M-key drives
  • PCIe Gen3 x2 lane support for NVMe
  • SATA 6Gbps host speed for legacy drives

Enclosure for M-Key M.2 SATA and NVMe drives

This Vszerda enclosure connects M-key M.2 SATA or NVMe solid-state drives to a host through a USB Type-C port. The RTL9220 bridge automatically selects PCIe Gen3 x2 or SATA Gen3 operation depending on the installed drive. Supported form factors are 2242, 2260 and 2280 millimetres. The package includes the enclosure, a 20 Gbps cable and a screwdriver.

For adding external NVMe or SATA storage

Users who want to access an M-key M.2 drive over USB3.2 Gen2x2 will find the enclosure suitable. Builders needing a U.2 or U.3 connection cannot use this adapter. Systems without a USB Type-C port will require a different interface.

USB3.2 Gen2x2 20 Gbps maximum bandwidth

The RTL9220 chipset delivers up to 20 Gbps when the drive operates in PCIe mode. In SATA mode the link is limited to 6 Gbps. This bandwidth ceiling determines the peak transfer rate achievable with any installed SSD.

Questions about this item

Which M.2 SSD lengths can I install in this 2242 2260 2280 enclosure?

The board accepts 2242, 2260 and 2280 modules using the M-key slot and auto-detects PCIe or SATA via the PEDET pin.

Will my SATA M.2 drive run at full speed through the USB3.2 20Gbps link?

In USB-to-SATA mode the RTL9220 chipset delivers up to 6Gbps, so a SATA SSD operates at its native Gen3 rate.

How do I confirm the enclosure has switched to the correct NVME or SATA mode?

The RTL9220 automatically selects PCIe Gen3 x2 for NVME or SATA Gen3 for NGFF; the host OS will report the active link speed.
