Here's one such docking station,
amazon: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/DELOCK-64000-Docking-Station-Type-C/dp/B089X3N3RV

Note: using type-C to type-A cable will reduce the drive read/write speeds considerably since type-A max throughput isn't fast enough for your PCI-E 3.0 drive.

I have 970 Evo Plus 2TB as my OS drive.

They sell them on Amazon but you will have to check the shipping cost.

Thanks again.

is it the most fast device for this motherboard (gigabyte Z390 Gaming x-cf)?

You can not use this device since it has USB type-C to USB type-C cable only. While your MoBo doesn't have any USB type-C ports, only type-A ports.

What's in the box

USB Tool-free Enclosure.

8" Type-C to Type-C cable.

Instruction manual.

The device i linked, has USB type-C to USB type-A cable, so that you can actually use it.

Maybe. But if you do face issues by using another cable, Sabrnet may not hold up the warranty, since you used a cable with it, which it wasn't certified to.

danezeq · May 30, 2023

ok so is there anyway to buy it with type c to type a cable, on amazon?

Why are you wanting to use an external enclosure for this M.2 drive?

What's wrong with the one i linked?

Is sold on Amazon and comes with both cables, type-C and type-A.

Thanks for your link.
i guess its feels more vulnerable when its exposed.

Hardware doesn't have feelings. People do.

Feel free to search around Amazon for covered enclosure with type-C to type-A cable.
