In the past, SSDs worked inside the enclosure and we couldn't see the state when it worked. Can we refresh our design to make it more interactive at transfer speeds? Transparent appearance can undoubtedly meet this need. Our designers and R&D team created a hard drive enclosure with a transparent shell, which was well received and appreciated by Internet users after it was put on shelf. So we continued the style of "transparency" and added LED lights in the design of this transparent hard drive enclosure M. 2. When using the hard drive enclosure, the LED light flashes like a breath, which not only reminds the hard drive enclosure of the working state can also increase the interactive atmosphere with the owner. So far, the ORICO transparent series still retains a good continuation of inheritance. Of course, due to the heat generation characteristics of NVMe SSD, this PC material shell can't dissipate heat as quickly as an all-aluminum alloy shell, so we specially made the shell part near the SSD with aluminum alloy. material, which can SSD dissipate heat directly. And an increased heat dissipation silicone pad to accelerate heat dissipation. In addition, we have added an overheating protection design. In case of overheating, it stops data transfer to protect the SSD.

My m.2 SSD can read and write normally on Windows, but why can't it be written in MAC OS? Please check the M.2 SSD format. For MAC OS, the NTFS drive software must be installed to read and write M.2 SSD in NTFS format. If you encounter this issue, please contact APPLE for assistance. Please note that this M.2 hard drive enclosure is not compatible with the original MACBOOK SSD. 3. The SSD is not recognized by the computer? Please open the SSD case and remove the SSD. Next, reinstall the SSD on the M.2 interface (note that the position must be aligned). If the SSD is new and unused, it must be formatted according to the instructions before it can be used normally. SSD is recommended to use the exFAT format, which is compatible with Windows and Mac OS systems. 4. Can the M.2 chassis transmission speed reach 10Gbps? Actual read/write speed depends on the interface of your connected device and SSD performance. This TCM2 hard drive enclosure uses USB3.1GEN2 interface protocol (i.e. USB3.2GEN2x1). If the connected device is USB3.1GEN2 interface (i.e. USB3.2GEN2x1), the maximum transmission speed is 10Gbps. When the connected device is USB3.0, the maximum transmission speed is 5Gbps due to the limited bandwidth of USB3.0 interface. When the connected device is USB2.0, the maximum transfer speed is 0.48Gbps Review: Nice product can’t recommend it enough - Is a great little enclosure used to upgrade my laptop. Haven’t done this before but it wasn’t too difficult. Took about an hour to transfer my ssd 500Gb to my new 1TB drive. It works fine and my laptop has a new lease of life! Used the usb c cable but you have a usb c to A as well if you don’t have that. Only thing I wasn’t sure is where to put the heat sink compound but worked that out. Just a bit fiddly to get the screw in but you get a screwdriver with it. Review: Used this to clone working OS onto a new NVMe M2 SSD - Upgraded my M2 P1 Crucial 500 GB to a 1M2 TB Samsung 970 EVO using this M2 NVMe to USB converter. You can use Samsung Magician, which is free to use, if both drives are from Samsung. Same goes with Crucials' app. In my case, i was going from a Crucial to a Samsung drive. Cant use either app to clone. I had to use Acronis. I used the 2020 Acronis version for current March 1st 2023 build of winblows. Worked. Once you install your M2 SSD into this enclosure you need to go into disk management and initialize the disk so your winblows can see it and work with it. Till then your winblows wont see it at all even though the task manager has the icon to remove this device. I hit the silicone lottery jackpot and this thing saw both my drives. Some chips are weird and only will work with certain hardware even though they state they work with certain protocols. Very cool looking clear see through drive. Well made. The only thing i can see not last is the plastic sliding cover. I think the tabs locking the cover in place will eventually wear down. If you do not open and close this thing all the time you won have to worry. If you do then you are going to have to deal with a sliding cover that wont lock. Nothing a little bit of electrical tape wont fix though. The adapter came with 2 cables even though the manual only states it comes with one. You get a USB C to USB 3 and a USB C to USB C. This thing also comes with a M2 Standoff as well as the tiny screw and you get a cool little screw driver. The actual case this thing comes in is quite handy as well. Going to keep it. I am talking about the physical cardboard box. Inside you get the plastic "housing" that stores the drive. I am not goign to chuck that and keep it. You wont be disappointed with this thing. ## Features - Unique and original transparent design This portable NVME housing TCM2-C3 inherits the consistent, transparent fashion style from ORICO. The transparent appearance of the PC is combined with four different colors made of aluminum alloy. The unique appearance is not only playful fashion, but also easy to wear.

Setup was simple – no tools needed, just pop it open, slide the SSD in, and snap it shut. The included thermal pad is a nice touch to help with heat, though the snap-on design can feel a little fiddly. Took a minute to get it just right, but nothing frustrating. Performance is solid. I'm getting close to 900MB/s transfer speeds, which is great for quick file backups or editing video files off the drive. Definitely way faster than the old USB 3.0 drives I was using. It’s compact, looks sleek, and comes with both USB-C and USB-A cables, so you can use it with just about any device – laptop, desktop, even a Steam Deck or Android phone with OTG. Only downside is that it gets a bit warm during heavy transfers. Not dangerously hot, but something to keep in mind if you're moving a lot of data back-to-back. All in all, a great value for the price. If you’ve got a spare NVMe drive and want a fast, portable storage solution, this little ORICO enclosure does the job nicely. ## Frequently Bought Together - ORICO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), Transparent External Solid State Drive Adapter Enclosure for 2280 2260 2242 2230 PCI-E M2 M-Key SSD, USB Type C Converter Case (TCM2-Blue) - Crucial P3 Plus SSD 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 Internal SSD, Up to 5000MB/s, Laptop & Desktop (PC) Compatible, Solid State Drive - CT1000P3PSSD801 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/214917732-orico-m-2-nvme-ssd-enclosure-usb-3-2-gen](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/214917732-orico-m-2-nvme-ssd-enclosure-usb-3-2-gen) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
