  • The ICY DOCK CP149 is a removable dual M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe 5.0 x16 mobile rack enclosure designed specifically for Intel motherboards using x8/x8 and x8/x4/x4 PCIe bifurcation settings. Unlike standard dual-M.2 PCIe adapters that require x4/x4/x4/x4 lane allocation, CP149 ensures full SSD detection and operation on Intel-based motherboard where PCIe slots are limited to x8/x8 and x8/x4/x4 configurations.

    *Note: only high-end Intel chipsets like X299/X299X/X399 (Gen 3) and W790 (Gen 5) offering full x4/x4/x4/x4 compatibility.
  • Removable Dual M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure
    The CP149 transforms your PCIe x16 slot into a removable dual M.2 NVMe SSD bay, eliminating the need to open your computer case for drive access.
  • State-of-the-Art Tool-Free SSD Installation
    The patent-pending adjustable M.2 locker secures M.2 NVMe SSDs in place without screws, allowing for faster drive swaps.
  • Enhanced Heat Dissipation for Maximum SSD Performance
    High-performance NVMe SSDs generate significant heat, which can lead to thermal throttling. CP149 features a specialized slim M.2 drive tray is made of thick aluminum and acts as a heatsink to dissipate heat generated by the M.2 NVMe SSD.
  • The included thermal pad fills the gap between the contact surface and transfers heat away from M.2 NVMe SSD to the larger aluminum surface, allowing airflow to move the heat away quickly.
  • EMI Grounding Protection
    Frequent drive swaps can lead to static buildup, increasing the risk of SSD damage. The adjustable M.2 locker ensures that SSDs remain properly grounded, protecting against electrical surges.
  • PCIe 5.0 Speeds for Data-Intensive Applications
    CP149 delivers full PCIe 5.0 bandwidth (128Gbps per SSD), offering 20x faster speeds than SATA III, making it ideal for AI computing & machine learning, Data center & cloud computing, Video editing & high-resolution media processing.
  • Enterprise-Grade Durability
    CP149 is engineered for longevity, featuring a rugged aluminum & metal housing and tray design to protect SSDs in mission-critical environments.
  • Packed with Features
    The ExpressSlot Elite CP149 is built with drive activity LED indicators on each drive tray to show the drive power and activities. The LED will automatically power off when no drive is detected to save energy.
  • The optional 2-pin HDD activity signal output (cable is not included) allows you to transfer the drive activity signal to the computer case or LED panel and provide an alternative view at the desired location.
  • Wide Range of Compatibility
    The specially designed MB840TP-B removable drive tray effortlessly enables seamless interchangeability across various models.
