ASUS ROG Strix Arion M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Black

The ASUS ROG Strix Arion is an external SSD enclosure designed to house a single M.2 PCIe NVMe drive. It accommodates standard M.2 form factors including 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280, enabling the repurposing of internal drives as portable storage solutions. The chassis is constructed from black aluminum alloy and incorporates integrated thermal pads to facilitate heat transfer from the SSD to the exterior casing. It includes both USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables for hardware connectivity and operates entirely on USB bus power without an external adapter.

The enclosure is intended for users who require high-speed access to NVMe storage outside of a desktop or laptop motherboard. It serves as a bridge between high-performance internal storage and standard USB ports found on modern computing hardware. The internal M.2 interface specifically supports PCIe NVMe drives rather than SATA-based M.2 modules. By using the provided cables, the device can be connected to either USB-C or USB-A ports depending on the available host interface.
