Carcasa SSD DeLOCK 42635 Negro M.2

This Delock 42635 enclosure allows installation of a single M.2 SSD (sizes 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230) and connects directly to a PC or laptop via USB-C. It supports both PCIe NVMe and SATA M.2 drives and delivers data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s over USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2). The compact black plastic housing is designed for easy transport and compatibility with M.2 form factors.

Advantages

Installation requires no tools: the lid slides back, the SSD is inserted and secured with a rubber mounting nipple on the PCB, then the lid is closed until it locks. The enclosure supports hot-swapping for convenient drive changes.
