ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2- Mobile Rack Enclosure for External 3.25" Drive Bay
The ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2 is a Ruggedized Removable M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure that fits a single external 3.5” drive bay of the computer system and supporting PCIe 4.0 64Gb/s data transfer rates via SlimSAS 4i (SFF-8654) interface and accepts all standard M.2 drives lengths from 30mm to 110mm (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, 22110). It simplifies the process of installing or removing M.2 NVMe SSD by using the removable drive trays with tool-less adjustable M.2 drive locker, making it easy to change drives at any time without open the computer case or dealing with drive mounting screws. In addition, while working together with numbers of ventilation holes around the enclosure, each drive tray is equipped with a high efficiency aluminium heat sink to ensure your SSDs are at optimal temperatures. As part of ICY DOCK's toughest line, the MB833MK-B V2 is made out of full metal construction with metal barrel key locks for maximum protection. To add an extra layer of physical security, the ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2 includes a large barrel key-lock mechanism. This feature provides protection against unauthorized physical access and ensures that drives remain securely in place even in demanding environments, such as military deployments and in-vehicle applications.
Due to popular demand and recent circuit board changes from host card manufacturers, ICY DOCK have made the ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2 compatible with Tri-Mode controller cards from Broadcom, Areca, and more.
Removeable M.2 Design
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 can also be risky int terms of the physical condition of the drive and the safety of the data stored on it. Fortunately, ICY DOCK has introduced a game-changing solution - the ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2. This innovative product 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 MB833MK-B V2, the once-complicated procedure becomes much more straightforward and safer.
State-of-the-Art Tool-less Drive Installation
The ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2 offers a completely tool-less drive installation experience, extending to the extra-large high-efficiency aluminium heatsink as well. Users can effortlessly place the M.2 SSD in the drive tray, adjust the drive locker to fit the specific M.2 drive type, 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.
EMI Grounding Technology
Grounding your M.2 SSD is crucial, as swapping drives without proper grounding can lead to hardware damage from static shocks. Our innovative 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.
Full Drive Length Support
The M.2 adjustable locker accommodates all 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.
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 aluminium heatsink lid and thermal pad. 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.
Full Speed Ahead
The ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2 utilizes the SlimSAS (SFF-8654) interface, enabling it to support the full NVMe bandwidth of 64Gbp/s, which is over ten times faster than the previous SATA standard. This outstanding speed makes it a perfect choice for data-intensive applications, such as real-time servers, high-performance PCs, deep-learning machines,and 4k/8k/3D media workstations.
Ruggedised and Reliable
The ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2 features a ruggedized full-metal chassis, tray and mounting bracket, enhancing the product's durability and contributing to effective heat dissipation. Additionally, an anti-vibration mechanism integrated into the chassis reduces noise and provides protection against environmental damage. This robust construction and thoughtful design ensure a long product life and reliable performance in various conditions.
Exceptional Product Compatibility
The MB833MK-B V2 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.
