Icy Dock EZ-Adapter Ex MB931U-1VB R1 USB 3.2 Gen 2 to U.2 PCIe NVMe SSD Adapter

The Icy Dock EZ-Adapter Ex MB931U-1VB R1 provides SMBs, power users, IT professionals, and media creators with a fast, convenient way to access enterprise-grade U.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs. Using a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface with transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, the adapter connects U.2 storage to compatible computers without requiring native NVMe support on the host system. USB 2.0 and Thunderbolt compatibility further expands system support, while the included USB Type-C to C and USB Type-C to A cables simplify connection to both modern and legacy computers.

Tool-Less U.2 SSD Access

The re-engineered Icy Dock MB931U-1VB R1 eliminates the drive guider, allowing compatibility with third-party drive caddies and trays from Dell, HP, Supermicro, and other manufacturers. SSDs can be installed or swapped without removing them from their trays, helping users transfer data from multiple drives with minimal downtime. The tool-less design is especially useful for service teams, data recovery workflows, workstation upgrades, and media production environments.

U.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs deliver high IOPS, substantial storage capacity, long service life, end-to-end data protection, and power-loss protection, but they traditionally require an NVMe-enabled host and specialized cabling. The EZ-Adapter Ex removes that barrier by providing a direct USB connection. It is also well suited for professionals working with high-resolution video, including footage captured with cameras such as the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K. A 12V power adapter is included to provide the power required by demanding U.2 drives, while the exposed SSD design supports passive heat dissipation.

Portable, Compatible, and Easy to Use

Built from durable ABS plastic, the compact black enclosure is designed for mobile workflows without sacrificing functionality. No drivers or additional software are required for plug-and-play operation. An LED indicator displays drive power and activity, while the individual slide-switch power button lets users shut down the SSD when it is not in use, helping conserve energy and reduce unnecessary drive operation. The package includes the EZ-Adapter Ex MB931U-1VB R1, user manual, power adapter, USB Type-C to C cable, and USB Type-C to A cable. The adapter is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
