Check before buying

• This enclosure accepts M.2 SATA/NGFF drives only. It does not support PCIe NVMe/AHCI M.2 SSDs.
• It is not compatible with mSATA modules, 2.5-inch SATA HDDs/SSDs or M-Key NVMe-only drives.
• The 10Gbps figure describes the USB host interface; the enclosure's maximum rated transfer is 6Gbps because the installed drive uses SATA.
• Real transfer speed depends on the SSD, host port, cable, file workload and operating system.
• An SSD is not included.
