Introducing ToughArmor MB834M2K-B, the worlds
first ruggedized M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD tool-less removable rack. Your M.2
NVMe SSD no longer requires to be installed on a motherboard or a riser
card with a tiny screw, but it can now be installed and accessed from
the front of your computer without any tools! The ToughArmor MB834M2K-B
comes with a patent-pending tool-less M.2 drive installation design
which will alleviate the pain that many users experience when installing
M.2 drives and offer easy drive maintenance and system upgrading. The
ToughArmor MB834M2K-B supports blazing-fast PCIe x4 transfer speed up to
32Gb/s via MiniSAS HD (SFF-8643) and accepts all standard M.2 drives
lengths from 30mm to 110mm (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, 22110). In addition,
while working together with numbers of ventilation holes around the
enclosure, each drive tray is equipped with a high efficiency aluminum
heat sink to ensure all the M.2 NVMe SSDs remains within their optimal
temperature even when it is under full load.
Ultimately, your drives will be well protected within this full
metal drive enclosure and a barrel key lock to prevent any unauthorized
physical access. |

|
| M.2 Drive is No Longer Hidden |
|
 |
|
|
| A typical M.2 drive is
installed on a motherboard or a riser card and secured by a tiny screw,
and it can be a very troublesome and time-consuming process to install
or remove the drive physically. However, with ICY DOCK's ToughArmor
MB834M2K-B, M.2 drives are brought into the front of a computer case and
makes M.2 NVMe SSD installation and removal a more straightforward and
efficient process. |
|
Note: the host
has to support NVMe hot-plug function in order for the OS to detect the
swapped drive while the system is powered on. If you are having trouble
detecting your M.2 NVMe SSD, please refer to FAQ.

State-of-art Tool-less M.2 Drive Installation
|
|
|
M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD drives are
most often inserted at a 45-degree angle then screwed down onto the
motherboard. When using ToughArmor MB834M2K-B, the user can simply place
the M.2 SSD in the drive tray, adjust the drive locker to the correct
length per M.2 drive type, and push down the drive to lock in place. The
whole process will only take users less than five seconds to complete,
avoiding the hassle of tiny, easy-to-lose screws while bringing a more
efficient and innovative way in installing M.2 drives.
|
|
 |
|
|
Being a truly tool-less drive
installation, installing and removing of the extra-large high-efficiency
aluminum heatsink does not require any tools as well. Simply push your
thumbs down against the two buttons located at the underside of the tray
and the heat sink will simply pop out for you to remove. To install it
back, you simply cover the tray with the heatsink and with a little
downward force, it will snap right back onto the tray.

|
|
| EMI Grounding Technology |
|
 |
|
|
| Grounding your M.2 is very important through
many swaps, to ensure your data and drive are always safe. Without
grounding, when swapping drives, there is a high possibility that there
may be static shocks, possibly damaging the data on the drive. With our
innovative M.2 drive installation design, the adjustable M.2 locker act
as a ground and once the M.2 locker clips into the SSD screw hole, the
drive will be grounded by the tray and the housing of the enclosure. The
grounded connector design protects your drive from static electrical
surge, ensuring your data is always safe during drive swapping. |
|
|
| Convenient Accessibility |
|
|
 |
|
| This innovative
adjustable M.2 locker slider accommodates all standard M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD
drive length including 2230 (30mm), 2242 (42mm), 2260 (60mm), 2280
(80mm), and 22110 (110mm), making this drive tray universal to all drive
length and future-proofing the extra-long M.2 drive 22110(110mm). |

|
|
| Maximum Cooling Performance |
|
|
 |
|
| M.2 NVMe SSDs are notorious for their
overheating issue, which can result in performance degradation and
transfer speed throttling. We understand this issue and came fully
equipped with an extra-large high-efficiency aluminum heatsink installed
onto every ToughArmor MB834M2K-Bs tray. Additionally, each ToughArmor
MB834M2K-B includes a pair of thermal heat pads to ensure that excessive
heat is dispersed thoroughly throughout the entire heatsink. |
|
|
 |
|
| The heat is further dispersed through the
intelligently placed ventilation holes on all sides and working together
with your computer cooling system. The drive remains at optimal
operating temperatures even under full load. |
|
|
| Safe and Secure |
|
|
 |
|
| Ruggedized full-metal chassis, tray, and
mounting bracket help to ensure a long product life, and further aid in
heat dissipation. An anti-vibration mechanism built into the chassis
reduces noise and protects against environment damage. |
|
|
| Packed with Features |
|
|
 |
|
| The front of the ToughArmor MB834M2K-B includes
a status LED when the drive is powered on, off and being accessed.
Active Power Technology (APT) allows the device power to be on only
when a SSD is inserted into the enclosure. |
|
|
 |
|
| For an additional physical layer of security,
the large barrel key-lock is implemented to protect against unwanted
physical access and to secure drives in place during rough environments,
such as military deployments and in-vehicle applications. |
