2.5" SATA & M.2 SATA Adapter

This adapter connects a single 2.5 inch SATA drive or an M.2 SATA SSD to a host via USB 3.2 Gen 1. It draws power directly from the USB port so no external AC adapter is required. The ABS housing measures 2.40 by 0.73 by 3.62 inches and weighs .04 lb. A blue LED shows drive activity and a large on/off switch controls power.

Suits users adding one SATA drive to a USB port

Buyers needing to run a 2.5 inch drive and an M.2 drive at the same time should look elsewhere. The enclosure does not support simultaneous operation of both slots. It also lacks a cooling fan, so sustained heavy workloads may throttle.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type C to A cable included

A USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type C to A cable ships in the box for immediate connection to USB A ports. The interface is backward compatible with USB 2.0 at reduced speed. Transfer rate reaches up to 5Gbps depending on the installed drive.

Questions about this item

How fast will data move through the USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection on this ICY DOCK MB031U-1SMB?

The enclosure supports up to 5Gbps over USB 3.2 Gen 1, though real throughput depends on the SATA drive installed.

Does the ABS shell get hot or make noise when the drive runs continuously?

There is no fan inside the enclosure, so heat relies on passive convection from the ABS body and the drive stays silent.

Which cable do I need to plug the MB031U-1SMB into my computer?

A USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type C to A cable is included in the package for immediate connection.
