SSD-kotelo ROLINE 16.01.4147 M.2 alumiini musta 20 Gbit/s

The ROLINE 16.01.4147 M.2 Aluminium Black 20 Gbit/s SSD enclosure is a compact external housing designed to accept M.2 NVMe or SATA drives (check drive form factor compatibility before purchase). Its aluminium body in black provides passive heat dissipation while the USB Type-C interface supports data throughput up to 20 Gbit/s via USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) connection. The enclosure offers a portable solution for expanding storage, performing backups, or accessing drive contents without installing the drive inside a computer.

Advantages

The aluminium construction combines lightweight portability with improved thermal conduction compared to plastic enclosures, helping to dissipate heat from the installed M.2 drive. The included USB Type-C connector and support for USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) enable high-speed data transfers up to 20 Gbit/s when connected to compatible hosts. The compact form factor and black finish make the enclosure easy to carry and integrate with modern workstations and laptops.

Suitable for

• Expanding laptop or desktop storage with an external M.2 drive
• Performing portable backups and system image transfers
• Accessing data on M.2 drives for diagnostics or data recovery
• Temporary high-speed file transfers between devices with USB Type-C ports

Key specifications

• Connector: USB Type-C
• Interface standard: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2)
• Maximum transfer rate: up to 20 Gbit/s
• Material and colour: aluminium housing, black finish
• Form factor supported: M.2 drives (confirm specific keying and length compatibility before use)

How to use

Open the enclosure according to the included instructions, insert a compatible M.2 drive into the M.2 slot ensuring correct alignment and secure it with the provided screw or mounting hardware. Close the enclosure and connect it to a host device via the USB Type-C cable. The host operating system should detect the external drive automatically; if necessary, initialize or format the drive using the system storage management tool before first use. Safely eject the drive from the host system before disconnecting to prevent data loss.

Recommendations

Ensure the M.2 drive you install matches the enclosure's supported keying and length. Use a host device with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) or compatible USB Type-C ports to achieve the highest transfer rates; otherwise, the enclosure will operate at the maximum speed supported by both the drive and host interface. Allow space for airflow around the aluminium body during sustained high-load transfers to aid passive cooling, and always follow safe-eject procedures to protect data integrity.
