Puzdro na SSD Icy Dock ToughArmor MB699VP-B V3 4 disky 2,5 palca PCIe

The ToughArmor MB699VP-B V3 is a ruggedized quad-bay removable U.2/U.3 NVMe SSD enclosure designed for installation in a 5.25" front bay. Constructed from full-metal materials, it supports four U.2/U.3 NVMe SSDs with dedicated OCuLink (SFF-8612) connections per bay and PCIe 4.0 bandwidth up to 64 Gb/s. The enclosure includes removable drive trays, dual 40x20 mm cooling fans with a 3-speed control, LED drive activity indicators, individual drive ID labels, and support for 15-pin SATA power cables with locking latches. An optional adapter (MB705M2P-B) can convert an M.2 NVMe SSD to U.2 form factor for use in the trays.

Advantages

The full-metal construction and removable trays simplify drive maintenance while providing robust physical protection suitable for industrial and embedded systems. Dedicated OCuLink connectors deliver PCIe 4.0 performance per bay, enabling high throughput and IOPS for data-intensive tasks. Built-in dual fans with selectable speeds and extensive ventilation improve thermal management, and EMI grounding technology reduces the risk of static-related damage during drive swaps.

Suitable for

• High-performance storage arrays and RAID configurations
• Data-intensive applications: video editing, real-time analytics, and simulation
• In-vehicle and industrial computers requiring ruggedized storage
• Military, law enforcement, and embedded control systems

Key specifications

• Drive bays: 4 removable U.2/U.3 NVMe trays (supports 5–15 mm drive height)
• Interface: PCIe 4.0 via OCuLink (SFF-8612), up to 64 Gb/s per bay
• Cooling: Dual 40x20 mm fans with 3-speed control (High/Low/Off)
• Material and color: Full-metal construction, black
• Power connector: 15-pin SATA power with locking latch support
• Weight: 0.9457 kg

How to use

Install the enclosure into a 5.25" front bay of your chassis and connect each OCuLink (SFF-8612) cable to the host controller. Insert U.2/U.3 NVMe SSDs into the removable trays and secure them with screws; the trays then slide into the enclosure from the front for convenient access. Connect the required 15-pin SATA power cables with locking latches and set the fan speed using the 3-speed control on the rear panel. If using a Tri-Mode controller, note that the enclosure supports NVMe drives only; SAS/SATA drives are not supported in NVMe mode.

Recommendations

Use PCIe 4.0-capable host controllers and certified OCuLink (SFF-8612) cables to achieve the full 64 Gb/s per bay. For sustained heavy workloads, select a higher fan speed and ensure adequate chassis airflow. When swapping drives, mount each SSD to the tray and allow the EMI grounding mechanism to engage to reduce static risk.
