LINDY USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C to M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure - 20 Gbps, Aluminium

Need to expand your laptop or console storage without sacrificing speed? This LINDY USB 3.2 Type-C to M.2 NVMe enclosure turns a bare M.2 NVMe SSD into a high-performance external drive. Using the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface with up to 20 Gbps, it suits video editors, photographers, and IT professionals who frequently move large files between workspaces.

Why choose it

This enclosure delivers near-internal SSD performance over a single USB-C cable. The aluminium body helps dissipate heat during sustained reads and writes, while the tool-free slider design lets you insert a drive in seconds. UASP and TRIM support ensure stable, efficient data transfers, and the drive is bootable on compatible systems. With broad OS compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux) and plug-and-play simplicity, it is a reliable ally for professional workloads.

Ideal use cases

• Fast on-the-go storage for laptops and mini PCs
• Quick backups for photographers and videographers
• Booting into a portable OS environment
• Expanding console or dock storage reach

Good to know

The enclosure supports M.2 NVMe SSDs only (not SATA). Choose the correct physical size: 2280, 2260, 2242, or 2230. The bundled cable is 20 cm long and the drive is powered directly from the USB-C port. Maximum speed requires a host port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2; otherwise the drive will work at lower USB speeds.
