The Gembird EE2280-U3C-01 is an external enclosure designed to turn an M.2 2280 SSD into a portable drive. It supports both M.2 SATA and M.2 NVMe interfaces, providing flexibility for different types of storage disks. Data transfer is handled via a USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface, using a USB 3.0 Micro-B connector on the device side and a standard USB Type-A connector for the host, which ensures compatibility with most computers running Windows 10. Constructed from grey aluminum, the housing serves as a passive cooling system to help manage heat during operation. The device is remarkably compact, measuring 102 x 37 x 10 mm and weighing only 38 g, making it easy to slip into a pocket or laptop bag. It comes with a USB-A to USB 3.0 Micro-B cable and draws all its necessary power directly from the USB port, so you do not need an external power adapter.
