M.2 Drive is No Longer Hidden
The conventional approach to installing an M.2 drive involves mounting it on a motherboard or a riser card using a small screw, which can be a cumbersome and time-consuming task. Removing or installing the drive physically can be quite troublesome. Fortunately, ICY DOCK has introduced a game-changing solution - the ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2. This innovative product brings M.2 drives to the front of your computer case, streamlining the process of installing and removing M.2 NVMe SSDs. With the ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2, the once complicated procedure becomes much more straightforward and efficient.
State-of-art Tool-less M.2 Drive Installation
Typically, M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD drives are inserted at a 45-degree angle and secured to the motherboard using screws. However, with the ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2, this process is made much simpler. Users can effortlessly place the M.2 SSD in the drive tray, adjust the drive locker to fit the specific M.2 drive type, and then push down to lock it securely in place. This streamlined procedure takes less than five seconds to complete, eliminating the need for small, easy-to-lose screws and introducing a more efficient and innovative way of installing M.2 drives.
The ToughArmor MB833MK-B V2 offers a completely tool-less drive installation experience, extending to the extra-large high-efficiency aluminum heatsink as well. There is no need for any tools when installing or removing the heatsink. Just use your thumbs to press down on the two buttons located underneath the tray, and the heatsink will effortlessly pop out, allowing for easy removal. To reinstall it, simply cover the tray with the heatsink and apply a little downward force, and it will securely snap right back into place.
EMI Grounding Technology
Grounding your M.2 SSD is crucial, as swapping drives without proper grounding can lead to hardware damage from static shocks. Our innovative EMI Grounding Technology ensures that once the drive clips into the M.2 adjustable locker, it remains grounded through the tray, housing, and computer system, protecting your drives from static electrical surges during swapping.
