SSD enclosure DeLOCK External USB Type-C Combo Enclosure for M.2 NVMe PCIe or SATA SSD tool free

The DeLOCK External USB Type-C Combo Enclosure allows installation of one M.2 SSD (supports 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230) in either NVMe PCIe or SATA form factor. It connects to a PC or laptop via USB Type-C and features an aluminium housing with cooling fins to help dissipate heat. The enclosure supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s and offers hot-swap capability for convenient external storage use.

Advantages

This combo enclosure accepts both PCIe (NVMe) and SATA M.2 SSDs and the drive is automatically recognised by the enclosure chipset. Installation is tool-free: the inner tray is released by pressing a button, the M.2 SSD is inserted into the slot and secured with a rubber nipple. The metal body with cooling fins improves thermal performance and the USB Type-C interface provides fast data transfer and broad compatibility.

How to use

Press the button to slide out the internal tray, insert the M.2 SSD into the correct socket (align the notch), fix the drive with the supplied rubber nipple, and push the tray back into the aluminium housing until it clicks. Connect the enclosure to a computer using a USB Type-C cable; the SSD will be detected automatically by the system chipset. Use appropriate OS tools to format or access the drive as required.

Recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, place the enclosure on a hard, flat surface to allow airflow around the cooling fins. Ensure the M.2 SSD is compatible with either NVMe PCIe or SATA protocols before insertion. Do not force the drive into the slot; if the drive is not recognised, reconnect the USB cable or try another USB port.
