Liitäntäkortti DeLOCK 42600 USB 3.2 Gen 1

This enclosure by Delock enables installation of an M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD in 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230 formats and connects to a PC or laptop via USB. The robust metal housing with cooling fins on the top provides passive heat dissipation and helps maintain an optimal operating temperature for the memory. The compact interface card offers a USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection with up to 10 Gbit/s, LED indicators for activity and power, and is compatible with Windows and Mac systems.

Advantages

The aluminium metal housing combines durability with improved thermal performance thanks to integrated cooling fins. Support for multiple M.2 lengths (2280/2260/2242/2230) provides compatibility with a wide range of NVMe SSDs. USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity enables high-speed data transfer up to 10 Gbit/s and the built-in LEDs indicate device activity and power status. Compact dimensions make the enclosure suitable for desktop and mobile use.

Close the housing, connect the enclosure to the computer using the supplied USB cable, and wait for the operating system to recognise the drive. If necessary, initialise or format the SSD using built-in disk management tools before use.

Recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, ensure the cooling fins are not obstructed and place the enclosure in a ventilated location during heavy data transfers. Use a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port or compatible hub to achieve maximum transfer speeds, and follow safe removal procedures in the operating system to prevent data loss.
