Removable NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD Rack for PCI expansion slot

Overview

Enjoy the convenience of a removable M.2 NVMe SSD rack

ICY DOCK is pleased to introduce the ToughArmor MB840M2P-B. This ToughArmor MB840M2P-B turns a 4x, 8x or 16x PCIe expansion slot into a removable M.2 NVMe drive bay, allowing you to swap M.2 NVMe SSDs without having to open the computer case.

Easier installation for greater efficiency


A typical M.2 drive is usually installed on a motherboard and secured by a tiny screw. Physically installing or removing it can be very tedious and time consuming. However, withICY DOCK's ToughArmor MB840M2P-B, your M.2 drive sits on the back of a computer case and makes installing and removing M.2 NVMe SSDs easier and more efficient.

Supports all lengths of M.2 SSDs


The ToughArmor MB840M2P-B fits all standard M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD lengths including 2230 (30mm), 2242 (42mm), 2260 (60mm) and 22110 (110mm). Its ingenious design ensures a simple and more productive assembly. The entire process takes less than five seconds, eliminating the need to deal with tiny, easily loosened screws and providing an efficient and innovative way to install M.2 SSDs.

True performance and efficient cooling


The ToughArmor MB840M2P-B's thin tray is made of thick aluminium and acts as a heat sink to dissipate the heat generated by the M.2 NVMe SSD. The included thermal pad fills the gap between the contact surface and transfers the heat from the SSD to the larger surface, allowing the airflow to quickly remove the heat.

Grounding your M.2 SSD is very important.
Swapping drives without grounding can damage the drive due to static shock. With ICY DOCK's innovative tool-free M.2 SSD installation design, the SSD will be grounded throughout the platter and enclosure.

The ToughArmor MB840M2P-B is designed for the PCIe 3.0 x4 slot.
It is also compatible with PCIe 3.0 / 4.0 x4, x8 and x16 slots.

    Excellent product

    Works perfectly, takes up very little space, transfer speeds identical to M.2 Nvme SSDs installed on the motherboard. In short, an excellent product.

    Very practical, but delicate mechanical assembly

    I used this drawer system for a Samsung 980 Pro SSD.
    Mounting in a PCIe slot is easy, especially since 2 brackets are provided to fit PC cases or server racks.
    The drawback is the mounting system of the SSD in the drawer.
    After mounting it, it turned out that once it was fully inserted into the rack, the SSD in the drawer was not inserted at all into the M2 connector of the rack, due to an alignment problem.
    I managed to get away with taping the drawer with 4 layers of tape so that the SSD was correctly aligned at the end of insertion into the M2 connector, and it worked fine.
    In the end, the physical coupling of the SSD in its drawer remains highly dependent on the thickness of the SSD, and the system that keeps it in the drawer at the right height for the coupling to work has too much play, and is not really adjustable.
