MagSafe-friendly storage for your iPhone or laptop, this Xclio Circle Mini enclosure turns a 2230-size M.2 NVMe SSD into a compact external drive. It sits in the same space as other pocket NVMe enclosures from the likes of Sabrent and Orico, but with the extra twist of magnetic mounting for on-the-go filming and quick file shuttling.
Who is this for?
If you shoot lots of video on an iPhone and want a drive you can stick to the back of the handset, this format makes sense. The 2230 requirement is the main thing to watch, it is the shorter SSD size used in some handhelds and compact PCs, so it will not take the more common 2280 sticks. For laptops and desktops, it works as a tidy way to reuse a spare 2230 NVMe drive for fast portable storage.
- SSD support: M.2 NVMe in 2230 length only, check your drive size before buying.
- MagSafe-style mounting: useful for phone rigs and keeping the drive attached during transfers.
