A prominent maker of smartphone and computer accessories, Satechi, has introduced yet another product to its lineup. The Satechi Mini NVMe SSD enclosure boasts an impressively compact design, with USB-C connectivity that allows it to be used with PCs, Macs, smartphones, etc. Interestingly, the product features a read-only mode, thanks to its physical write protection switch.

Owing to its diminutive form factor, the NVMe enclosure can only accommodate M.2 2230 drives. Satechi claims speeds of 10 Gbps, which is decently fast for most use cases, and a maximum capacity of 2 TB. Somehow, Satechi has also managed to pack active cooling into the product, which can spin up to a claimed 10,000 RPM when needed, thereby mitigating the woe of thermal throttling when the drive hits 50° C.As mentioned, the enclosure is remarkably pocketable, at just 35 grams with dimensions of 5.6 x 1.4 x 3 cm. While the product does not include a SSD drive, it does come with a braided USB-C cable that is 20 cm in length. In terms of build quality, there is hardly any room for complaint, considering that the enclosure is made of aluminium and tempered glass. Priced at $60 on Amazon US, the product seems to offer compelling value for its intended audience.
