U.2 NVMe mobile rack for 3.5" bays

The ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB601VK-1B adapts a single 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSD up to 15 mm tall into any standard external 3.5" device bay. It connects through a U.2 port (SFF-8639) and supports the full NVMe bandwidth specification of 32 Gbps. A ruggedised full-metal enclosure meets flammability requirements and provides EMI grounding to protect the drive from electrical damage.

Suits systems with a native U.2 NVMe host link

This rack is built for workstations and servers that already expose a U.2 NVMe connection at the drive bay. It will not operate on platforms that lack a direct NVMe pathway to the bay, nor on setups limited to other signalling methods. Builders needing hot-swap trays for multiple drives or for different form factors should consider alternative enclosures.

U.2 connector (SFF-8639) host interface

The single U.2 port is the only data and power path, so the host must supply a native NVMe link through that connector. Without a compatible U.2 NVMe host connection the SSD cannot communicate or receive power. Verify the motherboard, backplane or add-in card provides this exact interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

Do I need a motherboard with a U.2 (SFF-8639) NVMe port to use this mobile rack?

Yes, the rack connects through a U.2 connector (SFF-8639) and requires an NVMe host port on the motherboard or an add-in card to function.

Will a 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSD that is 15 mm tall fit alongside my existing 3.5" drives in the same chassis?

The tray accepts one 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSD up to 15 mm height and mounts in any standard external 3.5" device bay, so it occupies the same bay space as a 3.5" drive.

How can I confirm the rack is delivering the full 32 Gbps NVMe bandwidth after installation?

Verify the drive appears at PCIe Gen 3 x4 speeds in the OS device manager or run a synthetic NVMe benchmark and check that sequential reads approach the drive's rated maximum.
