Icy Dock ToughArmor, HDD, SSD, Serial ATA III, 2.5", Schwarz, Metall, Kunststoff, 12 Gbit/s

The ToughArmor MB092VK-B is a Ruggedized Removable DUAL U.2/U.3 NVMe PCIe 3.0/4.0 Mobile Rack Enclosure, supporting up to 64Gbps data transfer speeds through Slimline SAS (SFF-8654 4i) connection. This drive mobile rack fits an external 3.5” drive bay (floppy bay) space. With the advantage of removable drive trays in the frontal drive bay space, users can effortlessly access enterprise U.2 or U.3 drives without disassembling the computer case.

Innovative Removable Drive Design
U.2 NVMe SSDs are typically designed to be installed internally, which can be tough to access when maintenance is needed. With the MB092VK-B, the U.2 drives are brought to the frontal 3.5” drive bay space where they can be easily accessed, making it a more efficient and straightforward process. In addition, each removable drive tray can support U.2 SSDs from 7mm in height.-inch and M.2 installed simultaneously.

Superior Performance
To unlock the full performance of 64Gbps under PCIe 4.0 specification, the MB092VK-B uses 2x Slimline SAS (SFF-8654 4i) connectors and is also backward compatible with U.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD up to 32Gbps.

Full Metal Protection
Ensuring the drive enclosure can be relied upon for many years, the MB092VK-B is constructed out of heavy-duty metal throughout the entire device, including the drive trays, which are capable of holding up in harsh environments, such as military and medical systems that require a flammability rating.

Optimal Cooling Efficiency
The built-in 25mm cooling fan efficiently disperses the heat generated by the U.2 NVMe SSDs through the intelligently-placed ventilation holes around the enclosure. To adjust the fan speed, simply reposition the fan speed jumper in the rear (High, Low, & Off).

Exceptional Product Compatibility
The MB092VK-B is compatible with motherboards, RAID/HBA cards, and M.2 adapters from major brands including Adaptec, Areca, Broadcom, HighPoint, Supermicro, and more. This compatibility gives you the freedom to choose from a wide range of hardware options, moving beyond the constraints of single-brand system configurations.

Packed with Features
The Slimline-SAS and SATA power connectors are compatible with cables with a locking latch design. So once the cables are connected, they will be secure in place.

An LED status light built into the tray lets you know when your drive is powered up and in use. The LED will automatically shut off when no drive is installed to save power.

For an additional physical layer of security, the included 2-segment key-lock can be used to protect against unwanted access and secure drives in rough environments, such as military applications and in-vehicle PCs.
