Case per SSD DeLOCK 42609 nero M.2

The DeLOCK 42609 Black M.2 SSD enclosure allows installation of a single M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD in sizes 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230 and connects to a PC or laptop via USB Type-C. The enclosure uses a robust metal housing in a 2.5" form factor that can also be mounted in a standard 2.5" bay and helps maintain optimal operating temperature for the drive. Built-in electrical protections include short-circuit protection, overheat protection and ESD protection.

Advantages

The enclosure supports PCIe NVMe M.2 drives and USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s) transfer speeds via a USB Type-C connector. Its metal construction improves heat dissipation and offers mechanical stability, while compatibility with multiple M.2 lengths (2280/2260/2242/2230) provides flexibility. Integrated electrical protection reduces the risk of damage from short circuits, overheating and electrostatic discharge.

Suitable for

• Expanding external storage with a PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD
• Fast data transfer and backups via USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s)
• Using an M.2 SSD as portable storage for laptops and desktops
• Installing an M.2 drive into a standard 2.5" bay

How to use

Open the enclosure according to the manufacturer's instructions, insert the M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD in the correct slot orientation and secure it with the provided screw or mounting hardware. Connect the enclosure to your computer using a USB Type-C cable. The drive should be recognized by the operating system; initialise or format it if required before use. To install the enclosure in a 2.5" bay, follow the device or chassis mounting instructions and use appropriate mounting brackets or screws.

Recommendations

Use a high-quality USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s) Type-C cable for optimal transfer speeds, avoid placing the enclosure on soft surfaces that could restrict airflow, and handle the M.2 SSD with appropriate ESD precautions when installing.
