The ToughArmor MB699VP-B is a particularly solid, all-metal, hot plug SSD mobile rack that supports up to 4x NVMe U.2 SSDs in a single 5.25" bay. Review: Since the MB601VK is part of Icy Dock's 'ToughArmor' series for which Icy Dock makes many bold claims on its website I assumed this suggests I will get better quality and reliability than with other docks, so I paid a not exactly small sum of £89.50 for an MB601VK. However, as it turned out the overall quality impression isn't exactly great. Yes, it's metal, but the workmanship is quite rough. The sled is made from sheet metal and has some pretty rough edges to it which is something I would not expect for that price. What's worse, though, is that the rear SFF8639 connector is of such poor quality that standard U.2 NVME cables (which sit snug on any other SFF8639 connector!) on the MB601VK sit so lose that the cable easily detaches by itself (I tried three different cables, all brand name). There is also no mechanical support for that connector. I guess this is why I had intermittent connections. In the end I decided to return the Icy Dock MB601VK and instead bought a Syba SY-MRA25059 U.2 dock instead, which did cost only £29.32 so less than half of the Icy Dock MB601VK. And guess what, the quality is way better, and the SFF8639 connector is properly supported! Review: Not what I thought I was buying, but the metal construction is very sturdy, the mechanism is easy to use, and the connectors inside each drawer seem sturdy. The cables needed and the NVMe connectors were what I got wrong. I'm not going to return it; it definitely belongs in my "just in case" box. ## Features - Uses an U.2 port (SFF-8639) to connect, requires NVMe host - Supports the full NVMe bandwidth specification of 64 Gbps - Ruggedized full-metal enclosure meeting flammability requirements - EMI Grounding – protects SSDs from electrical damage - Eagle-hook tray latch securely holds the tray inside the enclosure.Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) reduces noise and protects anst environmental damage ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07B9HK4QG | | Brand | ICY DOCK | | Color | 4 Bays | | Compatible Devices | Devices with U.2 / U.3 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSDs and 2.5" form factor | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (11) | | Data Transfer Rate | 64 Gigabits Per Second | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00884826504979 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hardware Interface | Solid State Drive | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Type Name | U.2 NVMeSSD removable rack | | Item Weight | 854.2 Grams | | Manufacturer | ICY DOCK | | Supported Devices Quantity | 4 | | UPC | 884826504979 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ICY DOCK - **Colour:** 4 Bays - **Hardware interface:** Solid State Drive - **Hardware platform:** PC - **Material:** Metal ## Images ![ICY DOCK ToughArmor Rugged Full Metal 4 Bay 2.5" NVMe U.2 SSD Mobile Rack For External 5.25" Bay - MB699VP-B - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71M1tbDiIgL.jpg) ![ICY DOCK ToughArmor Rugged Full Metal 4 Bay 2.5" NVMe U.2 SSD Mobile Rack For External 5.25" Bay - MB699VP-B - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Ipsbj7CNL.jpg) ![ICY DOCK ToughArmor Rugged Full Metal 4 Bay 2.5" NVMe U.2 SSD Mobile Rack For External 5.25" Bay - MB699VP-B - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/415gS30DXcL.jpg) ![ICY DOCK ToughArmor Rugged Full Metal 4 Bay 2.5" NVMe U.2 SSD Mobile Rack For External 5.25" Bay - MB699VP-B - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Oa9zaq85L.jpg) ![ICY DOCK ToughArmor Rugged Full Metal 4 Bay 2.5" NVMe U.2 SSD Mobile Rack For External 5.25" Bay - MB699VP-B - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qmpedVrlL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Review *by N***S on 3 October 2019* Since the MB601VK is part of Icy Dock's 'ToughArmor' series for which Icy Dock makes many bold claims on its website I assumed this suggests I will get better quality and reliability than with other docks, so I paid a not exactly small sum of £89.50 for an MB601VK.
