It connects via a USB Type-C interface capable of a 10Gbps data transfer rate, which can facilitate quicker file backups, video editing from an external drive, or expanding your laptop's storage capacity. The product is offered in two distinct models based on the supported protocols: the K1698P in black supports the NVME protocol, while the K1698P2 in grey supports both NVME and NGFF (SATA) protocols, allowing you to match the enclosure to your existing M.2 SSD type. Its construction from ABS plastic provides a rigid shell for the internal components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Black external NVME to USB-C SSD enclosure with 10Gbps speed on a desk.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/686\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/3de3979c-783a-4aa6-8a80-88f339f3c2e1_trans.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis enclosure focuses on core functionality for converting an internal SSD into external storage. Its design is fixed, meaning it is intended to permanently house one drive, offering a stable, dedicated solution rather than a swappable bay. The key specifications centre on its connectivity and compatibility, which determine its performance and use cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure casing is made from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) material. ABS is a widely used engineering thermoplastic known for its good impact resistance, rigidity, and ability to be moulded into precise shapes, making it a standard choice for protective electronics housings like this. It forms a solid shell that shields the internal M.2 SSD board and controller from physical knocks and dust in everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and Practical Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe source text does not provide specific external dimensions for the enclosure. As it is designed for a fixed internal M.2 SSD, its size will correspond to standard form factors for such drives (typically 2280, meaning 22mm wide and 80mm long). When considering placement, its compact nature makes it suitable for desktop use next to a computer, or for transport in a laptop bag, relying on the robustness of the ABS case to protect the drive during movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUses and Placement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Black external NVME to USB-C SSD enclosure with 10Gbps speed on a desk.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/686\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/8b459dc9-d2c0-457d-a019-fe3062ac8b60_trans.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product serves a clear purpose: enabling an M.2 SSD to function as an external drive. Its 10Gbps speed and protocol options define its best applications, from professional workflows to general data management, while its fixed design implies a setup intended for longer-term use rather than frequent drive swapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEvent or Professional Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor photographers, videographers, or IT professionals, the 10Gbps transfer rate can be beneficial when working with large project files directly from the external drive, reducing wait times during data ingestion or editing. The dual-protocol support of the K1698P2 grey model offers flexibility in a mixed-device environment where both NVME and SATA M.2 drives might need to be used externally. Its fixed installation makes it reliable for a dedicated project drive or a secure backup destination that isn't routinely disassembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEveryday Home Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general users, this enclosure provides a way to upgrade a laptop with limited internal storage by using an external SSD, or to reuse an M.2 drive from an old PC. It can serve as a fast-expanded game library for consoles supporting external storage, a family media server drive, or a large-capacity backup location for personal documents and photos. The simple USB-C connection ensures broad compatibility with modern laptops, tablets, and gaming consoles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits and Buying Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Black external NVME to USB-C SSD enclosure with 10Gbps speed on a desk.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/686\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/c14bd540-8864-4a96-a1fe-e81cc5fc010c_trans.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe value of this enclosure lies in its specific technical offerings and the practical problem it solves. It is not a multi-drive solution or a tool-less design, but it provides a targeted, performance-oriented housing for a single high-speed drive, with a choice that matches your existing hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReuse and Low Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA primary benefit is the ability to repurpose an existing M.2 NVME or SATA SSD, extending its useful life and avoiding waste. Once installed, the fixed design and solid ABS case mean the enclosure requires virtually no maintenance—there are no moving parts to wear out, and the casing simply needs to be kept free of excessive dust. It provides a 'set-and-forget' external storage solution once the initial drive installation is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose this enclosure if you need a straightforward, fixed-case solution for an M.2 SSD and require the faster 10Gbps USB transfer speed. The choice between the black NVME-only model and the grey dual-protocol model is a key differentiator; select based on the specific protocol of your SSD. It is suitable for users who plan to assign one drive to the enclosure for prolonged use, rather than those who need to frequently swap different drives in and out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Black external NVME to USB-C SSD enclosure with 10Gbps speed on a desk.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/686\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/cbdf067a-8a7d-49b1-a4d9-a2a683340cdd_trans.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"test2qwf38h4ew8iu93g","offers":[{"title":"K1698P Black","offer_id":58333692264773,"sku":"CJYD214337401AZ","price":32.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"K1698P2 Gray Style","offer_id":58333692297541,"sku":"CJYD214337402BY","price":34.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1057\/9240\/5829\/files\/c14bd540-8864-4a96-a1fe-e81cc5fc010c_trans.webp?v=1782077283","url":"https:\/\/homeenjoy.co.uk\/products\/external-hard-drive-enclosure-nvme-to-usb-c-10gbps-readwrite-speed-solid-state-drive-case-abs-material-fixed-hard-disk-ssd-enclosure-box-for-m-2-nvme-sata-ssds-black-or-grey-colour-options","provider":"Homeenjoy.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
