💾 M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure 2230/2242 with Retro Floppy Disk Design

The M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure turns a compatible M.2 drive into portable external storage, combining modern technology with the classic look of a 3.5-inch floppy disk. Its compact design makes it easy to carry your files wherever you go, while USB 3.2 Gen 2 delivers transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

Inspired by the floppy disks that were common in personal computers during the 1990s and early 2000s, this enclosure brings back a recognizable and nostalgic aesthetic. It gives your SSD a practical new form while adding a distinctive retro touch to your tech setup.

✨ Key Features of the M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure

This enclosure combines several features designed for fast, portable external storage. It has an ultra-slim 6.1 mm profile, transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, and a 9210CN controller chip for stable performance.

It also supports 2230 and 2242 M.2 NVMe SSDs and lets you customize its appearance with your own DIY cards. The result is a compact storage accessory that combines performance, portability, and retro style.

📼 Floppy Disk Design Inspired by the Classics of the 1990s

Inspired by the 3.5-inch floppy disks of the 1990s, this enclosure recreates the look of one of the most recognizable storage formats of that era. Its retro design adds a nostalgic touch while still providing the functionality of modern SSD storage.

You can therefore use a modern NVMe SSD inside an accessory that brings back the look and feel of the storage media that defined an earlier generation of personal computers.

⚡ Up to 10 Gbps for Fast Data Transfers

The USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface supports transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. This allows you to read and write large files faster when using a compatible M.2 NVMe SSD.

This speed is especially useful for transferring photos, videos, documents, projects, and backups. It lets you take better advantage of your SSD's performance and spend less time moving large amounts of data.

💽 Compatible with 2230 and 2242 M.2 NVMe SSDs

The M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure supports 2230 and 2242 drives, allowing you to turn a compatible SSD into portable external storage. It supports M Key and B&M Key interfaces, while B Key drives are not compatible.

For proper installation, the enclosure only supports single-sided SSDs with a thickness of less than 2.5 mm. Before purchasing, make sure your SSD matches the supported dimensions and configuration.

Important: this product is the enclosure only. The M.2 NVMe SSD must be purchased separately.

🔧 9210CN Controller for Stable Performance

The enclosure features a 9210CN controller designed to provide broad compatibility with supported SSDs. The controller is also designed for lower power consumption and stable operation during data transfers.

This control system helps maintain reliable performance during everyday read and write operations, depending on the characteristics of the SSD installed.

🛡 Aluminum Alloy Construction for Better Heat Dissipation

Made from aluminum alloy, the enclosure helps dissipate heat generated by the SSD during operation. The metal construction allows heat to transfer more efficiently away from the drive.

This is particularly useful during longer file transfers. At the same time, the aluminum construction provides a durable enclosure while maintaining its slim and compact design.

📱 External SSD Storage for iPhone Video Recording

When paired with a compatible SSD, this enclosure can be used for external storage in certain video recording workflows. For example, the iPhone 17 Pro Max can record externally in 4K at 120 fps in ProRes when the required storage and connection conditions are met.

However, power consumption varies depending on the SSD you use. Some SSDs may draw more power and cause disconnections during recording. If you plan to use the enclosure for external iPhone video recording, choosing an SSD with suitable power consumption is recommended.

🎒 Slim and Lightweight Design at Just 6.1 mm

With a thickness of just 6.1 mm, this M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure takes up very little space. It can easily fit in your pocket or be carried alongside your laptop without adding unnecessary bulk.

Its compact design also makes it easy to attach to a backpack. This keeps your external storage within easy reach whenever you need to transfer files or access your data while traveling, working, or studying.

📝 DIY Customization with Interchangeable Cards

The front of the enclosure features a slot where you can add your own cards or custom notes. This lets you change the appearance of the enclosure and create a look that matches your personal style.

You can create your own DIY cards and swap them whenever you want. The slot supports cards approximately 0.5 mm thick.

DIY cards or notes are not included with the product. You can create your own card according to your preferences and needs.
