M.2 NVMe SSD puzdro icybox IB-1601MP-CU31 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 10 Gbps

The icybox IB-1601MP-CU31 is an external M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure that converts a compatible M.2 NVMe drive into a portable external SSD with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface delivering up to 10 Gbps transfer speeds. The compact, bus-powered aluminum housing is designed for quick installation, hot-plug operation and reliable thermal dissipation to maintain performance during extended file transfers and backups. This enclosure offers a simple way to expand laptop storage, carry large data sets between systems or create a fast backup solution without internal installation.

Advantages

The enclosure supports high-speed NVMe performance over USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, enabling fast read/write transfers for large files and applications. Its bus-powered design eliminates the need for an external power adapter, making it convenient for mobile work and travel. The aluminum body helps dissipate heat from the SSD while the tool-free or simplified installation process reduces setup time. The unit is compatible with common operating systems and supports hot-plugging for immediate recognition and use.

Suitable for

• Expanding laptop or Ultrabook storage without opening the device
• Portable backups and off-site data transport
• Transferring large video, photo or project files between workstations
• Creating a fast external drive for editing, testing or temporary storage

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (up to 10 Gbps)
• Form factor supported: M.2 NVMe (single-sided or double-sided depending on SSD size)
• Power: Bus-powered from host via USB-C
• Enclosure material: Aluminum housing for heat dissipation
• Compatibility: Standard NVMe PCIe M.2 drives (B-key/C-key etc. not applicable — NVMe protocol required)
• Connection: USB-C to host (cable included or specified separately)

How to use

Open the enclosure according to the manufacturer instructions, insert a compatible M.2 NVMe SSD into the M.2 slot and secure it with the provided screw or retention mechanism. Close the enclosure and connect it to a computer using the USB Type-C cable. The operating system should detect the NVMe drive as an external storage device; initialize, partition and format the drive if necessary before first use. For safe removal, use the operating system’s eject feature to avoid data loss.

Recommendations

Use a compatible NVMe M.2 SSD that fits the supported lengths and ensure the drive is firmly seated. Avoid blocking ventilation around the aluminum enclosure during long sustained transfers to help maintain optimal temperatures. For consistent high performance, connect to a host port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2. Regularly back up important data and eject the device safely before disconnecting.
