Compact NVMe enclosure

The ICY DOCK MB861U31-1M2B is a portable enclosure that turns a single M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD into an external USB 3.2 Gen 2 drive. It accepts every common M.2 length from 30 mm to 110 mm and draws power directly from the host port.

Suited for single-drive mobility

This unit suits users who want tool-less installation and passive aluminium cooling for one NVMe stick. It is not for anyone needing to install more than one drive, builders who require active fan cooling, or workflows that depend on Thunderbolt 3 host connectivity.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps interface

The external USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection delivers up to 10 Gbps transfer rates, limited only by the installed SSD. Both USB Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Type-A cables are included for broad system compatibility.
