Icy Dock ToughArmor Black

The ToughArmor MB105VP-B is a 5.25-inch ruggedized full-metal removable dual U.2/U.3 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD mobile rack enclosure, supporting up to 64Gbps data transfer speeds through Slimline SAS (SFF-8654-8i) connection in a single 5.25-inch (optical drive) bay. In addition, the innovative removable drive tray design allows users to effortlessly access U.2 or U.3 drives from the front of the system.

Easy Drive Access
The MB105VP-B is equipped with two EZ Slide Mini removable full-metal drive trays supporting from 7mm to 15mm drive height, making drive maintenance a more efficient and straightforward process.

Enterprise Drive Cooling Solution
The built-in 40mm x 20mm rear cooling fan effectively blows away the heat generated by the U.2/U.3 SSDs through the intelligently placed ventilation holes within the enclosure. Depending on the intensity of the workload on the U.2/U.3 drives, the user can adjust between three fan settings: Hi, Low and Off.

The additional cooling space above the drive trays allows the cooling fan to exhaust the drive heat more efficiently to prevent the drive from overheating.

NVMe 4.0 Performance
The MB105VP-B connects 2 x U.2/U.3 SSD with only a single Slimline-SAS (SFF-8654-8i) to reduce cable clutter while offering NVMe 4.0 transfer speeds up to 64Gbps per drive bay.

Exceptional Product Compatibility
The MB105VP-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 15-pin SATA power connectors are compatible with cables that have locking latch designs. Once the cables are connected, the locking latches will secure the connections in place.

The LED status light in each drive tray gives you the drive status information at a glance. With Active Power Technology (APT), the LED lights turn on when the drive is inserted and automatically shut off when all drives are removed.

EMI Grounding Technology
Grounding your drives is essential as swapping drives without proper grounding may damage hardware due to static shocks. With our innovative EMI Grounding Technology, once the drive is screwed onto the drive tray, the drive will be in a constant grounded state throughout the tray, housing, and computer system to ensure your drives are protected from static electrical surges safe during drive swapping.

ToughArmor Protection
Ensuring the enclosure can be relied upon for many years, the ToughArmor MB105VP-B can hold up in the harshest environment. It is equipped with rugged, heavy-duty full-metal protection throughout the entire device and drive trays, making it perfect for industrial devices that may require a flammability rating, such as military, medical, in-vehicle computers, and law enforcement industries.

Need a Slim Optical Drive Bay? Check Out MB602V4PO-B!
While the MB105VP-B is designed for powerful U.2/U.3 NVMe SSDs, if your application requires an additional Slim/Ultra-Slim Optical Drive (ODD) bay, consider the MB602V4PO-B. This version not only offers the same U.2/U.3 NVMe SSD capabilities but also includes a drive tray for an optical drive, making it a versatile solution for both data storage and media reading needs. The MB602V4PO-B is available for special order with a minimum order quantity. To learn more or inquire about pre-orders, contact us at [email protected]

Enhance Security with Our Lockable Drive Tray
If your application demands added physical security to protect valuable data from theft, you can upgrade with the compatible lockable drive tray MB994TK-B for an instant security boost to your MB105VP-B. For bulk orders of MB105VP-B pre-equipped with lockable drive trays, reach out to our sales team at [email protected] (Minimum Order Quantity applies).

Optional: M.2 NVMe SSD to U.2 NVMe SSD adapter
Converting your M.2 NVMe SSD into U.2 NVMe SSD with the EZConvert MB705M2P-B adapter offers tool-less SSD installation and comes with a large heatsink designed explicitly for high-speed M.2 NVMe SSDs. The MB705M2P-B uses a bridge connector to link the M.2 NVMe SSD, ensuring that the gold fingers of the M.2 NVMe SSD are protected from damage during insertion and removal. This makes it an ideal solution for users who frequently swap M.2 NVMe SSDs.

System Lacks a 5.25" Bay or Require a Fan-less Working Environment?
If you're in need of a more compact U.2/U.3 SSD mobile rack enclosure, or if your computer system lacks a 5.25" bay, the ToughArmor MB092VK-B dual bay U.2/U.3 NVMe SSD mobile rack enclosure is your perfect match. It can accommodate two U.2/U.3 NVMe SSDs with a height of 7mm, all within a single 3.5" floppy bay. With its fan-less design, the MB092VK-B ensures a quieter work environment. It's an ideal fit for systems with limited expansion space, those with a 3.5" bay, or users who have strict noise requirements in their workspace, such as audio and video recording and editing professionals.

Wide Range of Compatibility
The EZ-Slide Mini Tray MB991TRAY-B offers effortless interchangeability among different ToughArmor models.

USB4 to U.2/U.3 NVMe SSD Adapter
Quickly access your removable U.2/U.3 NVMe SSD outside the system with the EZ-Adapter MB307U-1VB. Simply insert a compatible ICY DOCK removable tray directly into the adapter and connect through USB4 for portable storage access, backup, validation, or high-speed data transfer workflows. Supporting up to 40Gbps bandwidth, the MB307U-1VB extends removable NVMe storage beyond the host system without reinstalling the SSD.

Optional M.2 NVMe to U.2 Conversion with EZConvert
The EZConvert MB705 series converts M.2 NVMe SSDs into a U.2 form factor with tool-less SSD installation. The MB705M2P-B uses a 9.5mm enclosure with a more substantial protective structure and an aluminum heatsink lid for enhanced passive cooling, while the MB705M4P-S features a slimmer 7mm full-metal design that is better suited for high-density U.2 systems. Both models use thermal pads to transfer SSD heat to the enclosure for efficient passive cooling.

Looking for a U.2 NVMe Alternative?
When U.2/U.3 SSD availability is limited, ICY DOCK M.2 NVMe mobile racks provide another way to deploy removable NVMe storage using widely available M.2 SSDs.
