Over USB 3.2 Gen 2, it supports speeds up to 10Gbps, far faster than a portable hard drive or most USB 3.0 flash drives. That makes it useful for copying large video files, backing up a laptop, carrying project folders between computers, or running programs from an external drive. Actual speed depends on your SSD, your computer’s USB port and the cable.
Installation is simple and quick. Slide in your SSD, close the case and connect with the included cable. The aluminum body spreads heat away from the SSD, and a thermal pad helps keep temperatures steady during long transfers. It supports UASP and TRIM for faster, healthier SSD performance.
We can help you check that your SSD fits before you buy, and we sell compatible NVMe SSDs in our shop.
Available at Jlite Technologies, Revlon Professional Plaza, 2nd Floor, Nairobi CBD. Pick up in Nairobi, or order on WhatsApp for delivery to Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Machakos and across Kenya.
Before you buy:
- This enclosure is for M.2 NVMe SSDs (PCIe). It is not for M.2 SATA SSDs, which use a different protocol. Some sellers list SATA support, but the safest rule is NVMe only. Check the label on your SSD, or send us a photo.
- Your SSD must be one of the supported sizes: 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280.
- Speed is limited by your computer’s USB port. A USB 3.0 port will run slower than 10Gbps.
- The enclosure does not include an SSD. Ask us about NVMe SSDs if you need one.

UGREEN M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure Frequently Asked Questions:
How much is a UGREEN CM578 NVMe enclosure in Kenya?
Price depends on stock. The UGREEN CM578 is KSh 2499 at Jlite Technologies. Confirm the current price on WhatsApp, and ask about bundles with an NVMe SSD.
Where can I buy an SSD enclosure in Nairobi CBD?
Visit us at Revlon Professional Plaza, 2nd Floor, Biashara Street, Nairobi CBD. We test the enclosure before you pay.
Does it come with an SSD?
No. The CM578 is an empty enclosure. You supply your own M.2 NVMe SSD, or buy one from us.
Will my SSD fit?
It fits M.2 NVMe SSDs with an M-Key or B+M Key connector in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 sizes. Most laptop and desktop NVMe SSDs qualify. Send a photo of your SSD’s label on WhatsApp and we will confirm.
Does it work with M.2 SATA SSDs?
No. The safe rule is NVMe only. M.2 SATA SSDs use a different protocol, so please check the type on your SSD’s label first, or ask us.
How fast is it?
It supports up to 10Gbps over USB 3.2 Gen 2. That is theoretical, and real speeds depend on your SSD, your computer’s USB-C port and the cable. A USB 3.0 port will be slower.
How do I install the SSD?
Open the case, slide in the SSD, secure it as shown in the guide, and close the case. We can fit it for you at our shop if you prefer.
Will it work with my laptop, Mac or phone?
Yes, with laptops and desktops that have a USB-C or USB-A port, and with Macs and many Android phones that support USB storage. For the best speed, use a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port. Some phones draw too much power for the SSD, so check before you buy.
Does it get hot?
NVMe SSDs run warm. The aluminum body and thermal pad help spread heat, which keeps speeds steady in long transfers. It will still feel warm, and heavy use may reduce speed slightly.
Can I boot my computer from it or use it as a normal external drive?
Yes, you can use it as a portable drive for files and backups. Booting from it depends on your computer’s BIOS and the SSD setup. Ask us if you need that.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, 6 months against manufacturing defects. Keep your receipt or WhatsApp order confirmation. The SSD you install has its own warranty.
Do you deliver outside Nairobi, and can I pay with M-Pesa?
Yes to both. We deliver countrywide by courier, bus or parcel service, and accept M-Pesa, bank transfer and cash.
