Icy Dock MB601VK-B Drive Bay Adapter Internal, Matte Black image 1
Item: IM15PM940
Model: MB601VK-B

The Next Generation NVMe Mobile Rack: The MB601VK-B is ICY DOCK's next generation PCI-E based mobile rack with ability in supporting Intel, Micron, and Seagate ultra high speed 2.5" U.2 NVMe solid-state-disk in an external 3.5" floppy drive bay. Superior Performance : Built with the next generation U.2 interface, MB601VK-B offers up to 32Gb/s of bandwidth and supports 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSD, SAS and SATA interface 2.5" solid state drives or hard drives. The superior performance of MB601VK-B provides the maximum amount of transfer speed for the most data intensive tasks; such as real time large database transfers and refreshes, massive bulk data swaps from multiple networks, VMware providing virtual operating systems for mulitple computers, and large scale editing of large multimedia assets of virtual reality, video, music, and other graphics between multiple workstations. Convenient Utility Accessibility: The EZ Slide Mini trays supports U.2 hot-swap feature, which makes U.2 NVMe SSD interchangeability and maintenance completely hassle-free. With a simple swap of the SSD / HDD, your overall down time is greatly reduced especially when a drive is needed to be switched. The tray is also designed to accommodate 7 to 15mm height hard drives and SSD, creating a 2.5" hot swap bay for U.2 NVMe SSD or any standard SAS / SATA hard drives and SSDs. While the tray is not inside the MB601VK-B, the Anti-Dust Flap feature helps prevent dust from entering into the mobile rack. The front of the MB601VK-B includes a status LED when the drive is powered on, off and accessed. Active Power Technology (APT) allows the status LED to be on only when a hard drive is inserted into the enclosure. For drive security, the eagle-hook lock system on the tray makes sure your hard drives will not eject when not needed. Additionally, the 2 segment key lock provides extra protection to theft of hard drives as well as safeguards any sensitive data. Full Metal Protection: Making sure that the material used is designed in a way where it can be relied upon for many years after its deployment, the MB601VK-B is constructed out of heavy duty metal throughout the entire device and is capable of holding up in the harshest environments. With the Full Metal design, the ToughArmor is perfect for industrial, military and medical devices that may require a flammability rating as the full metal material is considered to be compliant with flammability requirements..Fits 1 x 2.5" U.2 NVMe SSD or 2.5" SAS / SATA SSD / HDD.NVMe U.2 host is required to accept NVMe SSD, SAS or SATA SSD / HDD.Fits any external 3.5" drive bay or floppy bay

QNAP QDA-A2AR 2.5"/3.5" DAS Storage System image 1
Item: TS15564515
Model: QDA-A2AR

The QDA-A2AR can accommodate two 2.5-inch SATA drives within a single 3.5-inch SATA drive bay. No software driver is required for the QDA-A2AR, and it can be installed in a PC/workstation (Windows®, Linux®) or QNAP NAS to flexibly add additional hard drives or SSDs to meet various storage needs. Use two 2.5-inch SATA HDDs/SSDs (7mm to 9.5mm high) in a single 3.5-inch drive bay. (HDD/SSD sold separately) Up to 6 Gb/s file transfer speeds. Can be the primary bootable device for PCs. Choose a hardware RAID group with the disk mode switch. Supports various RAID levels The QDA-A2AR supports a variety of RAID configurations. Depending on your requirements, you can use the bundled metal pin as disk mode switch tool to select your ideal RAID mode: Individual, JBOD, RAID 0, or RAID 1. Windows® users can use the QNAP External RAID Manager utility to view the RAID group status and disk health information. A PC that supports SATA port multipliers can connect two SATA drives to a single SATA port, allowing you to independently access each disk as separate storage space. RAID 1 Mode (Default) Half of the total storage capacity is used to store data, and the other half keeps a copy of this data. This provides high data protection at the cost of only being able to use half the installed storage space. RAID 0 Mode Data is split amongst the drives. RAID 0 provides the fastest performance but does not protect data from drive failure. JBOD Mode All the drives are recognized as a single drive. This allows maximal storage utilization but provides no data protection. Install in a PC/workstation for higher performance or data protection When using two 2.5-inch drives instead of a single 3.5-inch drive in a PC/workstation (Windows® or Linux®) you can create a RAID 0 for enhanced performance, or RAID 1 to add data redundancy for greater data protection. To deal with tasks that require intensive, fast data transmission, you can install high-speed SATA SSDs to achieve maximized performance and lower latency, ideal for on-the-fly video editing and server-grade applications. External RAID Manager for Windows users The QNAP External RAID Manager utility allows Windows® users to view the drive status and RAID information of the QDA-A2AR. Firmware updates for the QDA-A2AR can also be managed with the External RAID Manager utility. Install in QNAP NAS for efficient storage or SSD caching The QDA-A2AR supports hardware RAID that will not consume CPU resources to help sustain optimal NAS performance. You can install one or more QDA-A2AR in a NAS to maximize the storage utilization of 3.5-inch drive bays. The QDA-A2AR can accommodate two SSDs to create an SSD volume for performance-demanding workflows or work in an efficient tiered-storage environment with Qtier. It can also boost IOPS performance when configuring SSD caching. RAID information and drive health of the QDA-A2AR can be monitored through the QTS Storage & Snapshots Manager..Holds up to 2 HDDs.Through RAID levels (0, 1, jbod), RAID provides data reliability, fault tolerance and improves overall performance.RAID technology - data reliability, fault tolerance and improved overall performance.Internal form factor for your convenience and simplicity of usage.Use two 2.5-inch SATA drives in a single 3.5-inch SATA drive bay with RAID support for PC and NAS

About SSD Enclosures

SSD enclosures are essential accessories that allow users to convert internal solid-state drives into portable external storage solutions. These enclosures provide a convenient way to access and transfer data, making them ideal for backups, data recovery, and expanding storage capacity for laptops and desktops.

Designed with durability and performance in mind, SSD enclosures offer a range of features that enhance usability and data protection. They are compatible with various SSD sizes and interfaces, ensuring versatility for different storage needs.

When choosing an SSD enclosure, consider factors such as build quality, data transfer speeds, and connectivity options. Many enclosures support USB 3.0 or higher, allowing for fast data transfers and efficient file management, which is crucial for users who frequently work with large files.

Additionally, look for enclosures that offer heat dissipation features and shock resistance to protect your SSD from damage during transport. Some models also include tool-free designs for easy installation, making it simple to swap drives as needed without the hassle of additional tools.

What is an SSD enclosure used for?

  • An SSD enclosure is used to convert an internal solid-state drive into an external drive, allowing for easy data access, transfer, and backup. They are particularly useful for users who need portable storage solutions.

Can I use any SSD with an SSD enclosure?

  • Most SSD enclosures are compatible with standard 2.5-inch SATA SSDs, but it's important to check the specifications of the enclosure to ensure compatibility with the specific SSD type and size you intend to use.

How fast is data transfer with an SSD enclosure?

  • Data transfer speeds with SSD enclosures can vary based on the interface used, with USB 3.0 typically offering speeds up to 5 Gbps and USB 3.1 providing even faster rates. The actual speed may also depend on the SSD's performance capabilities.

Are SSD enclosures durable?

  • Many SSD enclosures are designed with durable materials to withstand everyday wear and tear. Look for features like shock resistance and heat dissipation to ensure your SSD remains protected during transport.

Do I need special software to use an SSD enclosure?

  • No special software is typically required to use an SSD enclosure. Most enclosures are plug-and-play, meaning you can connect them to your computer and access the drive without additional software installation.

Can I use an SSD enclosure for data recovery?

  • Yes, SSD enclosures can be used for data recovery by connecting a failed internal SSD to a working computer. This allows you to access the drive and recover data if the SSD is still functional.
