SSD enclosure DeLOCK 42031 Black M.2 PCIe SATA 20 Gbit/s

The DeLOCK 42031 is a black SSD enclosure for M.2 drives that supports both PCIe (NVMe) and SATA interfaces. It accepts M.2 modules in 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230 form factors and connects to a PC or laptop via USB with up to 20 Gbit/s transfer capability, allowing external use of internal M.2 SSDs.

Advantages

This combo enclosure supports both SATA and PCIe (NVMe) M.2 SSDs, with automatic recognition by the enclosure chipset. The design allows tool-free installation: the M.2 module is inserted into the slot and secured on the board with a rubber nipple, simplifying drive swaps and upgrades.

Suitable for

• Expanding external storage for laptops and desktop PCs
• Cloning or migrating system drives from internal M.2 SSDs
