Startech M.2 SSD to USB 3.0 UASP Converter - SSD Adapter

The USB 3.0 to M.2 (NGFF) external enclosure, model SM2NGFFMBU33, converts an M.2 SATA solid-state drive into a high-speed USB 3.0 portable drive.

Get superior external performance by using an M.2 SSD instead of a conventional disk drive and take full advantage of the potential of a USB 3.0 computer system. The enclosure supports UASP, enabling transfer speeds up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0 when used with a UASP-equipped host computer.

This slim, pocket-sized SSD enclosure has been specifically designed for mobility. The case has a lightweight, yet highly durable design that allows it to be easily carried in a pocket or laptop bag. For added advantage, the box draws power entirely through the host USB bus and does not require any external power adapter.

Durable aluminum construction ensures that the unit will not be damaged when carried with you when traveling or on the move. Additionally, for maximum heat dissipation, the case is designed with specially designed ventilation holes, which help maintain a cooler operating environment for optimal performance and longer drive durability.

For broader compatibility with most common M.2 SSD drives, the enclosure supports multiple drive heights including: 2242, 2260, and 2280.

The M.2 case is backed by StarTech.com's two-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
