Icy Dock MB021VP-B storage drive enclosure SSD enclosure Black 2.5"

The flexiDOCK MB021VP-B is a compact U.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0/4.0 SSD mobile rack enclosure supporting up to 64Gbps data transfer speeds through a Slimline SAS (SFF-8654) connection. It fits into a computer case's external 3.5" drive bay (floppy bay) and allows tray-less & door-less drive installation and removal. Users can access their enterprise U.2 SSD without opening the computer case or using any tools or screws. Simply insert a U.2 SSD and switch on the drive power, you are all set to go.

Tool-less, Removable & Elegant
The open front tray-less design lets users swap their bare U.2 NVMe SSDs within seconds. When a drive is inserted into MB021VP-B, the drive ejection button extends out. To remove the drive, press the ejection button back in and the drive will pop out. The Elegant & Easy-to-read LED drive activity light is built into the ejection button, indicating the drive's status.

Intelligent Drive Guiding Mechanism
We designed an intelligent drive guiding mechanism for a smooth and steady drive insertion/removal whether you are using a 7mm or 15mm height U.2 SSD. There are two drive guiding pecks on either side of the drive and a metal flap in the rear that adjusts automatically based on the drive height. Each guiding peck clamps the drive tightly while the adjustable metal flap pushes the drive down to improve the drive stability.

Superior Performance
To unlock the full performance of U.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0x4 SSD, the MB021VP-B uses Slimline SAS (SFF-8654) connector to supports up to 64Gbps transfer rates and is backward compatible with U.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD up to 32Gbps.

Individual Drive Power Switch
flexiDOCK MB021VP-B is equipped with a slide power switch, allowing users to power off the drives while not in use and achieving reduced power consumption and elongated drive's life expectancy. It also helps against unforeseen malicious cyber attacks.

Packed with Features
The drive slot is covered by a spring-loaded dust cover to prevent dust and debris from entering the device and system.

The heavy-duty metal housing is able to withstand the harshest environments and offers ample heat dissipation for high wattage U.2 NVMe SSD. In addition, the Multi-Flow Technology allows air to move freely through the ventilation holes place on top and bottom of the device and keeps a low drive temperature.

Exceptional Product Compatibility
The MB021VP-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.
