Icy Dock ToughArmor MB852M2PO-B 2xM.2 NVMe SSD Mobile Rack Enclosure for Slim Optical Disk Drive Bay

Icy Dock announces the ToughArmor MB852M2PO-B 2xM.2 NVMe SSD mobile rack enclosure for slim ODD bay

It replaces the legacy slim CD/DVD bay with 2xM.2 NVMe SSD.

It fits slim 9.5mm optical disk drive (ODD) bay and uses removable M.2 drive trays for drive access and maintenance. It is a storage upgrade solution for customized industrial-PC, server rackmount, and embedded systems.

The M.2 drive is typically installed on a motherboard or PCIe card and secured by tiny screws. It can be a time-consuming process when installing or removing the drive and makes M.2 SSD not the choice for enterprise applications where maintenance with minimum downtime is essential.

ToughArmor MB852M2PO-B’s swappable M.2 drive trays allow conveniently access the drives from the frontal Ultra-Slim optical drive bay of a system without opening the computer case.

PCIe 4.0 performance
To utilize the speeds of M.2 NVMe SSD, each drive bay of the MB852M2PO-B uses its’ own PCIe Gen 4 OCuLink (SFF-8612) connection and support up to 64Gb/s data transfer speed, which is up to 2x than PCIe 3.0 and 10 times faster than SATA.

Cooling efficiency
The specialized slimline tray is made with thick aluminum and acts as heatsink to dissipate heat generated by the M.2 NVMe SSD through large ventilation opening on both the top and bottom of the device. The included thermal pad fills the gap between the contact surface and transfers heat away from the M.2 SSD to the larger surface of the metal cover, allowing airflow to dissipate the heat away quickly.

EMI Grounding technology
Grounding M.2 SSD is important through many swaps. Swapping drive without grounding properly may lead to hardware damages due to static shocks. With firm’s EMI Grounding technology, once the M.2 locker clips into the SSD screw hole, the SSD will be in a grounded state throughout the tray and housing of the enclosure.

Once the enclosure installed in the system with four screws on its’ side, it will then ground itself throughout your computer system.

Protection for harshest environment
With the ToughArmor Series, it is equipped with a ruggedized metal chassis and tray to ensure a long product lifespan. An anti-vibration mechanism is built right into the chassis to reduce noise and shield the drive from environmental damage. 3-yearswarranty.
