SSD enclosure D-Link DSP-111 USB-C M.2 NVMe 4TB 10Gbit/s

Turn an internal M.2 NVMe or NGFF (SATA) SSD into a portable external drive with the D-Link DSP-111 USB-C enclosure. This compact aluminum enclosure supports M-key and B+M-key M.2 SSDs in sizes 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 and accommodates capacities up to 4 TB. With USB 3.2 Gen 2 (USB-C) connectivity, the enclosure enables data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s and includes UASP and TRIM support for improved SSD performance and responsiveness. The aluminum housing and three-layer heat dissipation design help manage temperatures during sustained transfers, while cross-platform compatibility covers Windows, macOS, Linux and Android devices.

Advantages

The DSP-111 combines wide compatibility — supporting both NVMe and NGFF (SATA) M.2 drives and multiple M.2 lengths — with high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance up to 10 Gbit/s. Its aluminum alloy case provides physical protection and aids heat dissipation via a built-in three-layer cooling design. Support for UASP and TRIM helps maintain SSD throughput and longevity. The enclosure is powered via USB-C, is lightweight and portable, and fits a single M.2 drive for simple, tool-assisted installation.

Suitable for

• Backing up or transporting large files between computers
• Expanding storage for laptops and tablets without internal drive swaps
• Cloning, imaging or testing M.2 NVMe and SATA SSDs
• Content transfer for photographers, videographers and other creators
• Temporary external storage for systems with limited internal capacity

How to use

Open the enclosure according to the included instructions, insert a compatible M.2 SSD (aligning the M-key or B+M key as required), secure the drive with the provided screw or spacer for the selected length, then close the case. Connect the enclosure to a host device using the supplied USB-C cable. The drive should be recognized by the operating system; if necessary, initialize or format the SSD using the system disk management tools before first use. For highest performance with NVMe drives, connect to a USB-C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2.

Recommendations

Use the DSP-111 on a stable surface with adequate airflow; avoid blocking ventilation on the aluminum housing during long transfers. For best sustained transfer rates and SSD health, enable TRIM where supported by the host OS and use a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port. Handle the M.2 module by its edges and ensure the screw/spacer is fitted for the correct module length.
