This article covers Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black CPUクーラー.

Overview

The ORICO TCM2-C3 is a portable M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure that turns an internal NVMe drive into a high-speed external storage solution. With USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) interface support, it delivers theoretical transfer speeds of up to 1,000MB/s, making it ideal for large file transfers, backups, and on-the-go data access. The aluminum alloy body provides excellent heat dissipation, ensuring stable performance during extended use. Tool-less installation makes SSD mounting quick and hassle-free. This enclosure supports M.2 NVMe SSDs in 2230/2242/2260/2280 form factors and connects via a single USB-C cable to PCs, smartphones, tablets, and game consoles. Its compact size and robust build make it a practical storage companion for users who need fast, portable storage without breaking the bank.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The ORICO TCM2-C3 uses a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C interface and is backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen1 (5Gbps) and USB 2.0. It works with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iPadOS without requiring additional drivers. The enclosure supports M.2 NVMe SSDs with PCIe 3.0/4.0 x2/x4 interfaces (M-key only). It does NOT support SATA-based M.2 SSDs (B-key or B&M-key). Four SSD lengths are supported: 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280, secured with included mounting screws.

Product Info

Released around 2022, the ORICO TCM2-C3 is positioned as an entry-to-mid-range M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure that balances performance and affordability. Its price typically falls between ¥2,800 and ¥3,500, offering competitive value against similar products from brands like UGREEN and Sabrent. The warranty period is 1 year (may vary by retailer). Included accessories: USB-C to C cable (~30cm), USB-A to C adapter, mounting screw set, silicone thermal pad, and user manual.

Best Use Cases

Laptop and tablet users who need to expand storage without opening the device: simply insert an NVMe SSD into the enclosure and use it as a fast external drive for files, applications, or backups. Creative professionals working with large media files: the 10Gbps interface handles RAW photos, 4K video, and large project files with ease, significantly reducing transfer times compared to USB 3.0 or SATA enclosures. * Gamers looking for extra storage on consoles: connect to PS5 or Xbox Series X/S via USB for game storage and backups (note: not compatible with PS5 internal SSD expansion slot).

Things to Consider

This enclosure is strictly for NVMe SSDs only. Do not attempt to insert a SATA M.2 SSD (B-key) as it will not fit. To achieve full USB 3.2 Gen2 speeds, both the enclosure and the host device must support the 10Gbps standard. Connecting to a USB 3.2 Gen1 (5Gbps) port will cap speeds at around half the maximum. High-performance NVMe SSDs can generate significant heat inside the enclosure, potentially causing thermal throttling during sustained writes. Proper application of the included thermal pad helps mitigate this. Some older or low-power USB ports may not provide enough bus power to reliably run the enclosure. If you encounter detection issues, try using the included USB-A adapter or connect through a powered USB hub.
