Product Features

NVMe to USB

Got an extra M.2 NVMe SSD you want to prepare for an upgrade, or an old drive you want to backup or repurpose? This USB Type-C enclosure has you covered, for most drives and for most systems. Tool-less access your drive on the go.

Any Drive

Shorter drives are more popular than ever, so we’ve designed this enclosure to handle anything from M.2 2230 to 2280. This wide range of support includes NVMe drives up to at least 8TB. Perfect for dealing with new and preinstalled drives.

Easy USB

The enclosure connects to a wide range of devices and systems at up to 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2x1) speeds, with backward compatibility. Type-C works great for modern hardware but a Type-A adapter is included for legacy system flexibility.

Built Tough

The enclosure is crafted with an ABS frame reinforced with an aluminum alloy heatsink for the best combination of portability, durability, and heat dissipation. Improvements to the heatsink casing ensure reliable sustained operation.

Designed to Handle Them All

Sabrent is synonymous with SSDs, and we’re constantly innovating to bring you bigger and better storage-related products. The USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs (EC-PNVO) is no different, reinventing our popular EC-SNVE for the modern computing landscape. The rising popularity of powerful mobile devices means there are more fast NVMes around, in all sizes, than ever before. This enclosure is designed to handle them all, from M.2 2230 to 2280 in a convenient and flexible platform on which you can always rely.

The enclosure connects at up to 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2x1) via Type-C for newer devices, but is backward compatible and includes a Type-A adapter for maximum flexibility. In order to sustain those speeds for long transfers, the aluminum alloy enclosure has an improved heatsink design for even better heat dissipation. This same construction keeps the enclosure portable and durable, and we’ve made it all tool-less for a more convenient experience. Whether you’re replacing a drive, adding a new one, or just transferring files, this enclosure will be your favorite accessory.

Registering within 90 days of your purchase makes sure you don’t forget this important step, and it allows us to extend your warranty. A 1-year warranty will be extended to a 2-, 3-, or 5-year warranty depending on the product type.

What are the recommended operating conditions for the enclosure? As with all electronics, the enclosure should not come into contact with any liquids and should not be used in environments that are too dry, too humid, too cold, or too hot. Avoiding direct sunlight and other potential heat sources is important for getting the best performance out of the drive due to SSD thermal throttling algorithms.: As with all electronics, the enclosure should not come into contact with any liquids and should not be used in environments that are too dry, too humid, too cold, or too hot. Avoiding direct sunlight and other potential heat sources is important for getting the best performance out of the drive due to SSD thermal throttling algorithms.
Are there any best practices for achieving the best performance? SSDs do require basic maintenance which should be handled by the host operating system by default. This generally includes optimization with the TRIM function, which can pass through USB. Other drive health characteristics can be monitored with S.M.A.R.T. using appropriate software. It’s best to always keep some space free on the drive, if possible, for optimal performance and endurance. Drives should be powered on with some regularity to reduce degradation.: SSDs do require basic maintenance which should be handled by the host operating system by default.

What types of drives are supported? As indicated on the first page of the manual, this enclosure only accepts M Key NVMe SSDs. It’s important not to confuse this with M.2 SATA drives, older M.2 PCIe drives, or even mSATA drives, or any proprietary drives from Apple systems. This enclosure does support M.2 2230 and 2242 drives, which are more commonly used after the advent of the Valve Steam Deck and Asus Legion Go, but does not accept 22110 enterprise drives. Single and double-sided drives are both accepted.: As indicated on the first page of the manual, this enclosure only accepts M Key NVMe SSDs.

What else should be known about connecting this enclosure? Connecting this enclosure to a USB Type-A port with the assistance of an adapter or native Type-C to Type-A cable will work, although the speed of the port may in some cases reduce performance to 5Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1x1). Due to encoding differences, this would be less than half the maximum speed capable with a 10Gbps port. Although this drive is bus-powered, it may not function properly with all mobile devices - that means smartphones, tablets, hubs, and more. Check host requirements and data limitations before attempting to connect the drive.: Connecting this enclosure to a USB Type-A port with the assistance of an adapter or native Type-C to Type-A cable will work, although the speed of the port may in some cases reduce performance to 5Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1x1).
