Buying drive enclosures & docks at HodlChip

An enclosure turns a spare or upgraded drive into fast external storage. Match it to the drive:

  • M.2 enclosures: check whether the enclosure takes NVMe, SATA or both, and the drive lengths it supports, usually up to 2280. 10 Gbit/s models reach about 1,000 MB/s; 20 Gbit/s models are faster on ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.
  • 2.5-inch enclosures: for SATA SSDs and laptop hard drives, powered by the USB cable.
  • 3.5-inch and multi-bay enclosures: desktop hard drives need the enclosure's own power adapter.

This category also lists USB-C hubs and docking stations. Compact hubs add USB-A ports, HDMI, card slots and Ethernet to a laptop, and many pass through USB Power Delivery charging, typically up to 100 W. If you connect a monitor, check the HDMI version and refresh rate, and whether your laptop's USB-C port supports video output.

Format external drives as exFAT to use them on Windows and macOS. For bare-drive docks and cloning stations, see drive mounts & accessories; for drives, see NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs.

Questions about drive enclosures & docks

Which enclosure do I need for my M.2 SSD?
Check the drive's interface and length. NVMe drives need an NVMe or dual-protocol enclosure, M.2 SATA drives a SATA or dual-protocol one, and the enclosure must support the drive length, usually 2280.
Why is my external SSD slower than expected?
The slowest link sets the speed: a 10 Gbit/s enclosure on a 5 Gbit/s port, a USB 2.0 cable or a hub can all limit it. Use the supplied cable and a port that matches the enclosure's rated speed, and give the enclosure some airflow during long transfers.
Can a USB-C hub charge my laptop?
Hubs with a Power Delivery input pass a charger's power through to the laptop, minus a little for the hub itself. Connect a USB-C charger with enough wattage for your laptop to the hub's PD port.
