U.2 NVMe Mobile Rack

The ICY DOCK MB601VK-B adapts a single 2.5 inch U.2 NVMe SSD or SAS and SATA drive into a standard 3.5 inch external bay. It provides a direct connection for hot-swap capability without cables. The matte black tray fits floppy bay openings and supports 32Gb/s transfer rates for NVMe devices. A compatible U.2 host connection is required for all supported drive types.

Build Integration

The unit occupies one external 3.5 inch bay and secures with standard case screws. It eliminates internal drive cages and frees motherboard SATA ports when using NVMe drives. Power and data pass through the U.2 connector to the host backplane or adapter card. The enclosed tray protects the drive during transport and insertion.

Target Users

This mobile rack suits professionals who move U.2 NVMe or enterprise SAS and SATA drives between workstations or servers. It is not for builders without a U.2 host interface or available 3.5 inch bay. Users needing M.2 drive support or multiple simultaneous drives should consider other solutions.

Questions about this item

Does the 32 Gb/s NVMe transfer rate hold steady during sustained workloads?

The tray supports NVMe at up to 32 Gb/s; actual sustained throughput depends on the drive and host controller, not the tray itself.

How much heat does the metal tray add when a drive runs continuously?

The aluminium body acts as a passive heatsink; no fan is included, so drive temperature will follow case airflow.

What host connection must my system provide for a U.2 NVMe SSD to work in this tray?

A U.2 NVMe host port is required; the tray passes the signal through without converting protocols.
