Netac WH51 M.2 NVMe/SATA Enclosure USB 3.1 10Gbps Aluminum
The Netac WH51 is an M.2 NVMe/SATA enclosure that converts an internal drive into a portable external storage device. It suits anyone who needs to move large files between computers, back up data on the go, or run demanding applications from a separate portable drive. The included USB Type-C and USB-A cables connect to any modern computer.
Why this product
Supports both NVMe and SATA drives
This enclosure accepts either protocol, so it works with most M.2 drives you already own. No need to buy a drive specific to the enclosure.
10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen2 speeds
Data transfers run at the full speed of the interface, limited only by the drive inside and your computer's port capability.
Fits drives from 2230 to 2280
Compatible across four common M.2 form factors, so it works with nearly any modern laptop or desktop SSD.
Two cables included
Ships with both USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables, covering most connection scenarios without buying extras.
Aluminum construction
Anodized aluminum shell provides wear and corrosion resistance while keeping the device lightweight at just 50g.

Best for
- Anyone moving between a desktop and laptop
- Backups and archiving of large projects or media
- Running portable tools or OS images without reinstalling
- Users who already own an M.2 SSD and want to repurpose it
Trade-offs
- Sustained high-speed data jobs: USB 3.1 Gen2 is fast enough for most work, but it can bottleneck if your drive and computer both support higher speeds like Thunderbolt 4.
- Larger M.2 drives: Only accepts drives up to 2280 form factor; longer variants are not supported.
- Systems without USB-C ports: The enclosure outputs only USB Type-C; older computers without USB-C or an adapter may not work.
- Drives larger than 2TB: The enclosure supports a maximum capacity of 2TB, limiting storage expansion.
Convert your NVMe & SATA M.2 drive into superfast portable drive! Toolessly install the drive in the slot, close the cover and connect to your device using the included USB Type-C to USB Type-C or USB Type-C to USB-A cables for highspeed data transfer or to boot heavy programmes that would hamper your device's performance.
- Included USB C to USB C and USB A to USB C cable.
- Compatible with 2280/2260/2242/2230 size SSD.
