The external USB 3.0 to M.2 enclosure (NGFF) SM2NGFFMBU33 transforms your SATA M.2 solid-state drive into a mobile high-speed USB 3.0 drive. Enhance external performance by using an M.2 SSD instead of a hard drive and take full advantage of your USB 3.0 computer system. The enclosure supports UASP, allowing for up to 70% faster transfer speeds when used with a UASP-enabled host computer compared to traditional USB 3.0.

This sleek, pocket-sized SSD enclosure is designed specifically for mobility. It is lightweight yet durable, easily fitting into your jacket pocket or laptop bag. Additionally, the enclosure is powered entirely through the USB host bus and does not require an external power supply.

The sturdy aluminum construction helps protect the drive from damage while on the go. Moreover, the enclosure features specially designed ventilation openings to optimize heat dissipation, contributing to a cooler operating environment for optimal performance and a longer lifespan of the drive.

For comprehensive compatibility with all common M.2 solid-state drives, various drive heights can be mounted, including: 2242, 2260, and 2280. The M.2 enclosure comes with a 2-year warranty and lifetime free technical support.

Improved performance with UASP: UASP is supported on Windows 8, Mac OSX (10.8 or higher), and Linux. In tests, UASP shows up to 70% higher read speeds and 40% higher write speeds at peak performance compared to traditional USB 3.0. At the same peak performance in testing, UASP also demonstrates an 80% reduction in processor resource usage. Test results were obtained using an Intel Ivy Bridge system, a UASP-enabled enclosure, and a SATA III solid-state drive.
