Icy Dock

The ToughArmor 2-Bay NVMe SSD Enclosure from Icy Dock allows users to install two NVMe M.2 SSDs into an external 3.5" drive bay. It supports M.2 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110 form factors and uses two SlimSAS 4i (SFF-8654) interfaces to deliver PCIe 4.0 transfer speeds of up to 64 Gb/s, making it a solid choice for data-intensive applications. Tool-less M.2 drive installation helps make things more user friendly, an aluminum heat sink ensures your SSDs are kept at optimal temperatures, even during intense workloads, and a rugged metal chassis helps protect from bumps and drops. Please note that only B+M-Key PCIe NVMe SSDs, M-Key PCIe NVMe PCIe SSDs, and M-Key PCIe AHCI SSDs are supported. B+M-Key SATA M.2 SSDs are not supported.Compatible with Tri-Mode Controllers Due to high demand and in response to recent circuit board updates by host card manufacturers, the ToughArmor MB834MK-B V2 now provides support for Tri-Mode controller cards from leading brands like Broadcom, Areca, and others.M.2 Drive is No Longer Hidden The conventional approach to installing an M.2 drive involves mounting it on a motherboard or a riser card using a small screw, which can be a cumbersome and time-consuming task. Removing or installing the drive physically can be quite troublesome. Fortunately, the ToughArmor MB834MK-B V2 brings M.2 drives to the front of your computer case, streamlining the process of installing and removing M.2 NVMe SSDs. With the ToughArmor MB834MK-B V2, the once complicated procedure becomes much more straightforward and efficient.Tool-Less M.2 Drive Installation PCIe NVMe SSD drives are inserted at a 45 angle and secured to the motherboard using screws. However, with the ToughArmor MB834MK-B V2, this process is made much simpler. Users can effortlessly place the M.2 SSD in the drive tray, adjust the drive locker to fit the specific M.2 drive type, and then push down to lock it securely in place. This streamlined procedure takes less than five seconds to complete, eliminating the need for small, easy-to-lose screws and introducing a more efficient and innovative way of installing M.2 drives. The ToughArmor MB834MK-B V2 offers a completely tool-less drive installation experience, extending to the extra-large, high-efficiency aluminum heatsink as well. There is no need for any tools when installing or removing the heatsink. Just use your thumbs to press down on the two buttons located underneath the tray, and the heatsink will effortlessly pop out, allowing for easy removal. To reinstall it, simply cover the tray with the heatsink and apply a little downward force, and it will securely snap right back into place.EMI Grounding Technology Grounding your M.2 SSD is crucial, as swapping drives without proper grounding can lead to hardware damage from static shocks. This EMI grounding technology ensures that once the drive clips into the M.2 adjustable locker, it remains grounded through the tray, housing, and computer system, protecting your drives from static electrical surges during swapping.Convenient Accessibility The adjustable M.2 locker accommodates most standard M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD drives, including 2230 (30mm), 2242 (42mm), 2260 (60mm), 2280 (80mm), and 22110 (110mm), making it universally compatible and future-proof for extra-long M.2 110mm drives. Pleas be aware it only supports PCIe NVMe M.2 and PCIe AHCI M.2 SSDs, not SATA M.2 SSDs.Maximum Cooling Performance Since M.2 NVMe SSDs are known for generating high temperatures, it's essential to maintain operating temperatures at all times to prevent performance degradation. Each drive tray comes equipped with an extra-large, high-efficiency aluminum heatsink lid and thermal pad.Integrated Aluminum Heatsink Cover The heat is efficiently dispersed through strategically placed ventilation holes on all sides, working in conjunction with your computer's cooling system. This intelligent design ensures that the drive maintains optimal operating temperatures even under heavy loads.
