Transcend Intros M.2 SSD Enclosure Kit

Transcend has added a new M.2 SSD Enclosure Kit to its M.2 SSD product line to provide an alternative to turn a M.2 SATA SSD into a portable, high speed USB 3.1 Gen 1 drive. Transcend’s MTS Series M.2 SSDs with SATA III 6Gb/s interface and ultra compact dimensions make it best suited to address the high-performance needs and strict size limitations off today’s portable computing device.

Transcend’s CM42 and CM80 are enclosures in different form factors designed specifically for M.2 SATA SSDs. Thanks to a complete set of all necessary accessories and step-by-step instructions, any user can transform a M.2 SATA SSD into a portable USB 3.1 Gen 1 external drive, maximizing utilization.

Transcend’s M.2 SSD enclosure features a lightweight aluminum construction, making it both portable and durable while you are on the move. A LED indicator lets you know when the drive is in use. To be compatible with the most common M.2 SATA solid state drives, Transcend offers two enclosures in different form factors for multiple drive heights.

The CM42 enclosure is for type 2242 only, whereas the CM80 can mount type 2242, 2260, and 2280. To accommodate devices with different USB ports, the M.2 SSD enclosure is engineered to convert to a USB Type-C port, offering flexibility of being used on different platforms with either USB Type-A or Type-C port.

The M.2 SSD enclosure uses the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface incorporated with UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) that makes transfer speeds faster than with a sole USB 3.0 interface when used with a UASP-enabled host computer. A USB Type-C to Type-A cable is included. Users will need to provide their own adapter or compatible cable to attach the M.2 SSD enclosure to USB Type-C devices.
