  • Note: To utilize an M.2, U.2, or U.3 NVMe SSD in a PCIe 16x or 8x slot, the motherboard or add-on card must support PCIe Bifurcation. This mode divides PCIe lanes into specific configurations like x4, x4, x4, x4 for a 16x slot or x4, x4 for an 8x slot, ensuring the SSD can be read by the system. For compatible hardware, please refer to the FAQ section. If your hardware is not listed there, please contact us for assistance.
  • The ToughArmor MB118VP-B is a rugged six-bay enclosure designed for U.2/U.3 NVMe SSDs. It supports drives up to 7mm in height and offers PCIe 4.0 speed, allowing for blazing-fast data transfer rates of up to 64Gb/s via its SlimSAS (SFF-8654) interface.
  • Constructed with heavy-duty full-metal materials, this enclosure is equipped with removable drive trays that make drive installation and removal quick and simple. Additionally, the MB118VP-B is designed with dual 40x20mm cooling fans that maintain optimal temperatures for high-speed U.2/U.3 SSDs within the enclosure.
  • Removable Drive Tray Design
    NVMe U.2/U.3 SSDs are typically installed inside the computer case, making maintenance a difficult and time-consuming process. The ToughArmor MB118VP-B brings your drives to the front 5.25" optical drive bay, utilizing removable drive trays for hassle-free maintenance. These removable drive trays are compatible with standard U.2/U.3 SSDs up to 7mm in drive height, ensuring easy installation and removal of your drives.
  • Superior PCIe 4.0 Performance
    The ToughArmor MB118VP-B provides exceptional performance for data-intensive applications that demand speed and reliability. Equipped with SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) connectors, each drive in the enclosure can achieve transfer speeds of up to 64Gb/s, twice as fast as PCIe 3.0 and ten times faster than SATA standards, which unleash the full potential of NVMe Gen 4.0 x4 SSDs. The lightning-fast IOPS (Input/output operations per second) makes the MB118VP-B an ideal storage solution for autonomous driving, real-time forecasting, film editing, and military computing applications, where high-speed data processing is critical.
  • Maximizing Cooling Performance
    By incorporating dual high-performance 40x20mm cooling fans, the ToughArmor MB118VP-B can effectively dissipate the heat generated by U.2/U.3 SSDs through intelligently placed ventilation holes throughout the entire enclosure, which allow the heat to disperse evenly and maintain optimal operating temperatures for your drives.
  • ToughArmor Protection
    Ensuring the enclosure can be relied upon for many years, the ToughArmor MB118VP-B is capable of holding up in the harshest environment. The enclosure is equipped with rugged, heavy-duty full-metal protection throughout the entire device and tray, making it ideal for a system that may require a flammability rating. The exceptional build quality makes it suitable for various enterprise systems, including military and law enforcement systems, in-vehicle computers, and manufacturing conditions such as embedded control and factory automation systems.
  • EMI Grounding Technology
    Grounding your drives is essential to prevent hardware damage from static shocks when swapping drives. Our innovative EMI grounding technology ensures that once the drive is screwed onto the drive tray, it remains constantly grounded throughout the tray, housing, and computer system to protect the U.2/U.3 SSDs from static electrical surges during drive swapping.
  • Packed with Features
    The drive tray features an LED status light that indicates when your drive is powered up and in use. When no drives are installed, the LED will shut off to conserve power.
  • Keep track of your drives easily with the included individual drive ID labels. You'll always know which drive tray belongs in your RAID array or which drives contain specific files. Rearrange them as needed or remove them for a simplified look.
  • The ToughArmor MB118VP-B supports 15-pin SATA power cables with locking latches. As a result, you'll never need to worry about cables unintentionally disconnecting from your enclosure. Once these cables are connected, they will lock and stay in place.
  • Exceptional Product Compatibility
    The MB118VP-B is compatible with motherboards, RAID/HBA cards, and M.2 adapters from major brands including Adaptec, Areca, Broadcom, HighPoint, Supermicro, and more. This compatibility gives you the freedom to choose from a wide range of hardware options, moving beyond the constraints of single-brand system configurations.

  • Enhance Security with Our Lockable Drive Tray
    If your application demands added physical security to protect valuable data from theft, you can upgrade with the compatible lockable drive tray MB996TK-B for an instant security boost to your MB118VP-B. For bulk orders of MB118VP-B pre-equipped with lockable drive trays, reach out to our sales team at [email protected] (Minimum Order Quantity applies).
  • (Optional) M.2 NVMe SSD to U.2 NVMe SSD Adapter
    Converting your M.2 NVMe SSD into U.2 NVMe SSD with the EZConvert MB705M2P-B adapter offers tool-less SSD installation and comes with a large heatsink designed explicitly for high-speed M.2 NVMe SSDs. The MB705M2P-B uses a bridge connector to link the M.2 NVMe SSD, ensuring that the gold fingers of the M.2 NVMe SSD are protected from damage during insertion and removal. This makes it an ideal solution for users who frequently swap M.2 NVMe SSDs.
