ICY DOCK 4-Bay M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe 4.0 x16 Removable Frame Enclosure/Adapter Card for PCIe Expansion Slot (PCIe Bifurcation Required) - ExpressSlot Slide MB204MP-1B

Introducing the innovative ExpressSlot Slide MB204MP-1B 4 x M.2 NVMe PCIe x4 SSD Clip-on Rack/Adapter Card designed for the PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion slot. Achieve remarkable data transfer speeds of up to 64Gbps per drive in a single PCIe slot. By using motherboards with PCIe bifurcation capability (x4, x4, x4, x4 for a 16x slot), the MB204MP-1B allows users to quickly add or remove four independent M.2 NVMe SSDs from a single PCIe x16 slot. This product is the first removable rack enclosure that allows easy addition and removal of 4 M.2 NVMe SSDs directly from a PCIe adapter card. Ideal for environments where M.2 NVMe SSDs need to be installed in limited space, the MB204MP-1B ensures fast maintenance, upgrade, and quick drive replacement. This makes it perfect for applications such as data centers, high-performance computing and enterprise storage solutions where space saving and easy access are critical. The advantage of the PCIe 4.0 interface is that it provides power and data through a single PCIe slot, reducing cable clutter in the system. In addition, the lightning-fast transfer speed of 64 Gbps is significantly faster than SATA III, making it an ideal solution for data-intensive applications such as machine learning, cloud computing, data mining or even image processing.

• Takes 4x M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD from 30-80 mm (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280) length
• Uses 1x PCIe 4.0 x16 slot (PCIe Bifurcation x4, x4, x4, x4 for PCIe 16x is necessary to access four drives)
• Installs into a single PCIe slot
• Removable drive tray with tool-free drive installation for easy maintenance
• Fan on/off switch provides flexibility for systems with adequate cooling or noise-sensitive environments
