Icy Dock has introduced a new addition to their range of M.2 Sata racks in the form of the Icy Dock ToughArmor MB872MP-B Full-Metal 12-bay M.2 SATA rack, supporting 12x M.2 SATA SSDs from 30 mm to 110 mm (2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280 / 22110) in just a single 5.25″ optical drive bay. The ToughArmor MB872MP-B is equipped with a patent-pending M.2 adjustable locker for tool-less drive installation and removal of supported drives, the whole process taking less than 10 seconds to complete says the develop and team at Icy Dock.
“The specialized slimline tray is made with thick aluminium and acts as a heatsink to dissipate heat generated by the M.2 SATA SSD. Additionally, using 3x OCuLink cables instead of 12x SATA cables reduces cable clutter and improves the system airflow. The included thermal pad fills the contact surfaces gap and transfers heat away from the M.2 SSD to the huge heatsink tray, allowing airflow to dissipate the heat away efficiently. Powering up the twelve drives at once can accumulate heat. Therefore, we have included a 40 mm cooling fan with adjustable 3-Mode fan speed control, providing airflow throughout the entire cage. Depending on your requirement, select the proper fan speed to keep the drives at optimal operating temperatures, even under heavy load.”
