ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB699VP-B 4-Bay 2.5-Inch NVMe U.2 SSD Mobile Rack for External 5.25-Inch Bay

Icy Dock ToughArmor MB699VP-B Drive Enclosure for 5.25" - Mini-SAS HD Host Interface Internal - Black

The ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB699VP-B is a rugged, full-metal storage enclosure designed to support up to four 2.5-inch NVMe U.2 SSDs within a standard 5.25-inch drive bay. Engineered for high-performance applications, this mobile rack features individual miniSAS HD (SFF-8643) connectors for each drive, enabling the full 32Gb/s transfer speeds offered by NVMe U.2 SSDs. Its durable construction ensures the safety and security of your drives, making it suitable for demanding environments such as media servers, medical systems, military applications, and industrial PC setups. The rack incorporates hot-swappable EZ slide trays, allowing for quick and easy drive replacements without dismantling the entire unit, which is ideal for scenarios requiring frequent drive changes or maintenance.

Equipped with dual 40mm cooling fans and integrated LED status indicators, the ToughArmor MB699VP-B maintains optimal operating temperatures and provides real-time drive activity feedback. The active power technology (APT) ensures that LEDs and fans operate only when necessary, reducing energy consumption and noise. The fans feature three speed settings—high, low, and off—giving users control over cooling performance based on workload. The enclosure also includes drive label plugs for easy identification of each drive, simplifying management in RAID configurations or data organization tasks.

Powering all four drive bays requires just two 15-pin SATA power cables with locking latches, preventing accidental disconnections. The entire unit is constructed from heavy-duty metal, providing superior durability and electromagnetic shielding. Its universal fitment allows installation in any external 5.25-inch drive bay, making it a versatile solution for expanding storage capacity in a range of systems. The MB699VP-B is RoHS compliant, environmentally friendly, and built to meet rigorous flammability standards, ensuring compliance in sensitive environments. Backed by a 3-year warranty, this product combines robust design with high-speed NVMe support, making it an ideal choice for professional-grade storage expansion and high-performance computing needs.
