ADATA EC680 SSD-ház, szürke, M.2, USB Type-C, PCIe

The ADATA EC680 Grey M.2 USB Type-C PCIe is a metal SSD enclosure that converts a single M.2 PCIe NVMe drive into a portable external storage device. Designed in misty rock grey, the EC680 uses a PCIe Gen3 x2 bus and a USB 3.2 Gen2 (USB Type-C) interface to deliver up to 1,050 MB/s read and 1,000 MB/s write performance while offering tool-less installation and an aluminium alloy housing with textured fins for improved cooling and handling.

Advantages

The enclosure supports a wide range of M.2 form factors (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280) and is compatible with PCIe NVMe SSDs, providing flexible upgrade and expansion options. Its tool-free tray and side latch allow quick drive swapping without tools. The aluminium casing with a three-dimensional fin design enhances heat dissipation for stable operation at high transfer speeds. A USB Type-C connection and USB 3.2 Gen2 support ensure fast, broad platform compatibility.

Suitable for

• Expanding external storage for laptops and desktops
• Creating a portable backup drive for large files
• Using an M.2 NVMe drive as high-speed external storage for content transfer
• Expanding storage for compatible game consoles (when console supports external NVMe enclosures)

How to use

Remove the side latch to slide out the inner tray, insert a compatible M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD of a supported length (2230/2242/2260/2280), secure the drive in the tray if needed, then slide the tray back into the enclosure until it locks. Connect the enclosure to a host device using the included USB Type-C cable and a USB 3.2 Gen2 port for optimal performance. The enclosure is bus-powered and requires no external power adapter. Follow your operating system's instructions to format or mount the drive if necessary.

Recommendations

For best sustained performance, use a high-quality PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD and connect to a host with a USB 3.2 Gen2 or higher Type-C port. Ensure the drive is properly seated and allow ventilation during heavy transfers to benefit from the aluminium fin cooling design. Check console compatibility and manufacturer guidance before use with gaming consoles.
