Ugreen launches two M.2 SSD enclosures with integrated USB-C cables and aluminum casings

They have a built-in permanent USB-C cable directly integrated into the chassis itself, so users don't need to carry an extra connector for the main connection option. If you're the type of user who often plugs and unplugs M.2 drives between desktops and laptops, you'll definitely appreciate the reduced cable mess.

Specifications

• Interface Speeds: 20Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2×2) and 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2)
• Cable Configuration: Built-in USB-C cable, includes USB-C to USB-A cable
• Supported SSD Sizes: 2280, 2230, 2242, 2260

The enclosure has an aluminum alloy exterior where you can mount your M.2 NVMe or M.2 SATA drive. The Ugreen enclosure is designed to support the mounting of four different types of M.2 drives: 2280, 2230, 2242, and 2260. You can mount M.2 SSD drives up to 8TB in size into this small metal enclosure. It also comes with a built-in USB-C cable that connects directly to the USB-C port of the host device.

Ugreen provides two different speed options based on the capabilities of your host device. The top-tier enclosure supports up to 20Gbps speeds over the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 standard. Then there's the regular enclosure which supports up to 10Gbps speeds over the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard. In addition to the built-in USB-C cable, the enclosures also come with a USB-C to USB-A cable to be used on older computers without USB-C ports.

The 20Gbps speed enclosure comes with a price tag of 34.99 USD (around $34.99). On the other hand, you can get the 10Gbps speed enclosure for 29.99 USD (around $29.99). These are the prices for the global overseas market launch on October 18, 2024. These enclosures are a great hardware option for expanding the portable storage capacity of your system.
