ACT USB 40 Gbit/s M.2 2280 NVMe / PCIe SSD-kotelo, työkaluvapaa

The ACT AC1625 M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure is a compact external housing that converts a compatible M.2 NVMe drive into a portable high-speed USB storage device. The enclosure supports tool-free installation, enabling quick insertion and removal of an NVMe module without tools. It connects to host systems via USB 3.1 Gen 2, providing a direct interface for file transfer, backups and mobile access to NVMe performance without opening a computer case.

Advantages

The tool-free design reduces setup time and makes swapping M.2 NVMe SSDs straightforward for technicians and end users. USB 3.1 Gen 2 connectivity offers improved bandwidth compared with earlier USB generations, allowing faster transfers when used with compatible hosts. The enclosure provides a convenient way to reuse internal drives as external media for data migration, off-site backups and portable access.

Suitable for

• Quickly converting an internal M.2 NVMe SSD into an external drive for data transfer
• Performing backups and creating portable storage for large files
• Technicians and users who swap NVMe modules frequently
• Accessing drive contents from multiple systems without internal installation

Key specifications

• Form factor support: M.2 NVMe SSD (M-key)
• Interface to host: USB 3.1 Gen 2
• Installation: tool-free module insertion and retention mechanism
• Usage: external enclosure for NVMe M.2 drives, portable operation

How to use

Open the enclosure according to the built-in tool-free mechanism, insert a compatible M.2 NVMe SSD into the M.2 slot ensuring correct alignment with the connector, then secure the drive with the enclosure's retention method. Close the enclosure and connect it to a host system using a USB 3.1 Gen 2 compatible cable and port. The host system should detect the NVMe drive as an external storage device; format the drive if required by the operating system before first use.

Recommendations

Use a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port on the host system to achieve maximum transfer speeds. Ensure the M.2 NVMe SSD is compatible with M-key NVMe interfaces and handle the drive and enclosure on an anti-static surface during installation. For sustained high-performance transfers, allow adequate ventilation and avoid prolonged enclosure contact with heat-conductive surfaces.
