  • TypeSSD Box
  • Six NVMe U.2/U.3 drives fit in one 5.25" bay
  • PCIe 4.0 bandwidth delivered through three SlimSAS 8i connectors
  • Tool-less tray design enables quick drive swaps without screws
  • Full-metal construction dissipates heat from high-speed NVMe SSDs
  • Individual drive status LEDs show activity at a glance

ToughArmor MB118VP-B 6-Bay NVMe Enclosure

The ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB118VP-B fits six 2.5-inch U.2 or U.3 NVMe SSDs into a single external 5.25-inch drive bay. Three SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i connectors link the drives to a PCIe 4.0 host interface for high-speed data access.

Suited for dense NVMe storage in servers

This enclosure serves builders who need multiple U.2/U.3 drives in a standard 5.25-inch opening with a SlimSAS host link. It is not for systems that only accept M.2 modules, for chassis without a 5.25-inch bay, or for hosts lacking PCIe 4.0 SlimSAS connectivity.

Three SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i host ports

Each of the three SlimSAS connectors carries eight lanes of PCIe 4.0 traffic, distributing bandwidth across the six drive bays. Verifying that the host board provides matching SlimSAS 8i ports and sufficient PCIe lanes is the single step that confirms compatibility.

Questions about this item

What host connector does the MB118VP-B need on my motherboard or HBA to run its three SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i ports?

The enclosure requires a host with three SlimSAS SFF-8654 8i connectors that carry PCIe 4.0 lanes for U.2/U.3 NVMe drives.

Can I keep my existing 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe drives when moving to this 6-bay unit?

Yes, the tray accepts standard 2.5-inch U.2 and U.3 NVMe SSDs, so current drives fit without adapters.

How do I verify each bay is linked at PCIe 4.0 speed after installation?

Check the operating system device manager or NVMe utility — each drive should report a PCIe 4.0 x4 link width and active NVMe namespace.
