Introducing the ToughArmor MB873MP-B V2, a rugged and removable 8 x M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD enclosure specially designed to fit into a 5.25" optical drive bay. This powerful enclosure offers exceptional performance, supporting lightning-fast data transfer rates of up to 64Gbps via the OCuLink (SFF-8612) interface, and is compatible with Tri-mode host cards. It is made out of heavy-duty full-metal construction and uses removable M.2 SSD trays that support tool-less drive installation/removal for effortless drive maintenance. In addition, the MB873MP-B V2 is equipped with dual 40x20mm cooling fans in the rear to remove the heat generated by the high-speed PCIe 4.0 SSD for the best cooling performance.

Now Compatible with Tri-Mode Controllers

Due to high demand and in response to recent circuit board updates by host card manufacturers, the ToughArmor MB873MP-B V2 now provides support for Tri-Mode controller cards from leading brands like Broadcom, Areca, and others. For detailed information on compatible cards and cables, please refer to the FAQ section available on the product page.

High Storage Density for High-Performance PCs

The ToughArmor MB873MP-B V2's ultra-high storage density design makes it ideal for data-intensive systems that have limited storage space. It is particularly well-suited for high-performance PCs, compact servers, workstation PCs, and data centers where efficient storage utilization is crucial.

Supporting up to eight PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 drives in a single 5.25" device bay increases the storage efficiency of your system.

Superior PCIe 4.0 Performance

Unleash the true potential of PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs with the ToughArmor MB873MP-B V2. Each drive bay features a dedicated OCuLink (SFF-8612) connector, enabling a whopping 64Gb/s bandwidth rate-twice as fast as PCIe 3.0 and ten times faster than SATA standards.

State-of-the-Art Tool-Less M.2 Drive Tray

Typically, M.2 SSDs are installed directly onto the motherboard or an adapter card, usually requiring the use of small screws and accessing the computer case to reach the drives. However, with the ToughArmor MB873MP-B V2, you can conveniently bring your M.2 NVMe SSDs to the 5.25" optical bay of your computer system. This innovative solution enables you to swap drives effortlessly without the need to open the case, streamlining drive maintenance and enhancing overall efficiency.

The ToughArmor MB873MP-B V2 features a patent-pending adjustable M.2 locker mechanism, designed for effortless tool-less drive installation and removal. Simply insert the M.2 NVMe SSD, adjust the M.2 locker until it securely holds the SSD, and then close the lid. The entire process can be completed in less than 10 seconds, saving you valuable time and resources.

Experience ultimate compatibility with the ToughArmor MB873MP-B V2's removable M.2 drive tray, which supports a wide range of M.2 NVMe SSD brands and models. Whether it's 2230 (30mm), 2242 (42mm), 2260 (60mm), 2280 (80mm), or even enterprise-level 22110 (110mm) SSDs, you have the flexibility to choose from a diverse selection of M.2 NVMe SSDs. Say goodbye to limitations and embrace the freedom to select the M.2 NVMe SSD that perfectly suits your needs.

High-performance Cooling System

Powering up the eight M.2 NVMe SSD at once can accumulate heat. Therefore, we have included dual 40x20mm cooling fans, providing a massive amount of airflow throughout the entire enclosure to keep the M.2 NVMe solid-state drive at optimal operating temperatures, even under heavy load.
