ICY BOX IB-1816M-C31 — Portable M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure
Turn an M.2 NVMe SSD into a slim, cool-running USB-C drive at up to 10 Gbit/s.
M.2 NVMe (M-key)USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 · 10 Gbit/sAluminium heatsinkUnder 40 g
The ICY BOX IB-1816M-C31 is a portable aluminium enclosure that turns an M.2 NVMe (PCIe) SSD into a fast external USB-C drive, ideal for carrying large projects, backups or a bootable system between machines. Identified by part number IB-1816M-C31, it connects over USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 at up to 10 Gbit/s, reaching around 1000 MB/s with a PCIe 3.0 x2 SSD, and its grooved finned aluminium body weighs under 40 g while helping keep the drive cool. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Before you buy — compatibility
Takes M.2 NVMe (PCIe, M-key) SSDs only — SATA-based M.2 (B-key) drives are not supported. Fits sizes 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280. The SSD is fixed in place with the bundled screwdriver and screws, so this is a screw-mounted enclosure rather than a tool-free one. It connects over USB-C and works with USB-A hosts too; the drive is not included.
Key Features
NVMe over USB-C at 10 Gbit/s
A modern bridge chip lets an M.2 NVMe SSD run over USB 3.1 Gen 2 at up to 10 Gbit/s, reaching around 1000 MB/s with a PCIe 3.0 x2 drive — far faster than SATA enclosures.
Aluminium finned heatsink
The crush-resistant aluminium body has a grooved, finned design that helps dissipate heat and guards the SSD against shock and vibration, all in a sub-40 g package.
Plug and play, hot-swap
Connect and go with plug-and-play and hot-swap support and an LED for power and drive activity — no drivers needed on Windows or macOS.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The IB-1816M-C31 is a compact, pocketable way to run an NVMe SSD externally at 10 Gbit/s, with an aluminium finned body that adds protection in a bag. If cooling and outright throughput matter more — for example a faster PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD — the grey IB-1817M-C31 adds a thermal pad and x4 support, while the IB-1807MT-C31 is the tool-free alternative if you dislike screws. Pair it with an M.2 NVMe SSD for an instant high-speed external drive.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You want a slim, light aluminium enclosure to run an M.2 NVMe SSD externally over USB-C at up to 10 Gbit/s.
Skip it if
Your drive is SATA-based M.2, you need 20 Gbit/s, or you prefer a tool-free, screwless install.
Also consider
The IB-1817M-C31 for a thermal pad and PCIe x4 support, or the tool-free IB-1807MT-C31.
