Metal mobile rack for 2.5 U.2 NVMe SSD in 3.5 bay

LORDWORLD

LORDWORLD ToughArmor MB601VK-B 2.5" U.2 NVMe Mobile Rack for 3.5" Bay (147mm)

SKU CH-0NKJ-1RJ2P

Mounts one 2.5" U.2 NVMe, SAS or SATA SSD into a 3.5" bay with 147mm depth

  • Supports NVMe at 64Gb/s transfer rate
  • Handles SATA 6Gb/s and SAS 12Gb/s speeds
  • Accepts 2.5 U.2 NVMe, SAS or SATA SSDs
  • Fits any external 3.5" drive or floppy bay
  • Accommodates 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 12.5mm & 15mm drive heights

Single-Drive U.2 Mobile Rack

The LORDWORLD ToughArmor MB601VK-B fits one 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe SSD or 2.5-inch SAS and SATA SSD into any external 3.5-inch drive bay or floppy bay. It accepts drive heights of 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 12.5mm and 15mm. The unit depth is 147mm.

Host Interface Limits

An NVMe U.2 host connection is required to run an NVMe SSD at up to 64Gb/s. SATA SSDs operate at 6Gb/s and SAS SSDs at 12Gb/s on a single channel. PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 hosts are supported, but the host determines the final protocol and speed.

Drive Height Compatibility

The rack accommodates 2.5-inch SSDs measuring 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 12.5mm and 15mm tall. Drives outside this height range cannot be installed. Builders needing multiple drives or a different bay form factor should choose another solution.

Questions about this item

Which SSD heights does the MB601VK-B accept?

The tray takes 2.5 inch U.2 NVMe, SAS or SATA SSDs from 5 mm up to 15 mm thick, so any standard enterprise drive fits without a shim.

What does the 64 Gb/s NVMe rate mean once the rack is installed?

It is the ceiling of the U.2 PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 link; actual throughput depends on the drive and host controller, but the rack itself adds no bottleneck.

Which host interface does the U.2 connector use and what speed does it cap?

The U.2 port carries PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 lanes for NVMe at 64 Gb/s, and falls back to SATA 6 Gb/s or SAS 12 Gb/s for legacy drives.
