EZConvert MB705M4P-S

M.2 NVMe SSD to 7mm 2.5” U.2 SSD Adapter / Mounting Bracket
Product Details
  • Turn Any M.2 NVMe SSD into a 7mm U.2 SSD for Maximum System Compatibility
    The ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB705M4P-S is a rugged M.2 NVMe SSD to U.2 SSD converter designed to transform standard M.2 NVMe SSDs into a 7mm-height U.2 SSD form factor. By combining the performance of M.2 NVMe SSDs with the familiar U.2 interface, the MB705M4P-S allows M.2 SSDs to be deployed in U.2 backplanes, hot-swap storage enclosures, removable drive systems, and industrial computing platforms without modifying existing infrastructure.

    Its low-profile 7mm design makes it especially suitable for ICY DOCK removable storage products such as the MB998V4P-B and MB092VK-B, enabling system builders to leverage cost-effective M.2 SSDs while maintaining the convenience of hot-swappable U.2 storage deployment.
  • Designed for U.2 Mobile Rack Integration
    Unlike conventional M.2 adapters that are primarily intended for internal motherboard installation, the MB705M4P-S is engineered specifically for storage systems that utilize the U.2 form factor.

    The standardized 7mm U.2 SSD profile allows the converter to slide directly into compatible U.2 drive bays, backplanes, and ICY DOCK removable storage products. This enables quick drive deployment, simplified maintenance, and streamlined SSD replacement in servers, edge computing systems, industrial PCs, and embedded platforms.

    For system integrators seeking a practical way to utilize M.2 SSDs within existing U.2 infrastructure, the MB705M4P-S provides a simple and efficient solution.
  • Tool-Less M.2 SSD Installation
    The MB705M4P-S features a completely tool-less and screw-less M.2 SSD installation design. Supporting M.2 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 PCIe NVMe SSDs, the integrated locking mechanism secures the SSD without requiring screws or tools. Installation can be completed in seconds, significantly reducing deployment time while minimizing the risk of misplaced hardware during service operations.

    This design is especially beneficial for environments where drives are frequently upgraded, replaced, or validated during production and testing.
  • Enterprise-Class U.2 Connector Durability
    Unlike conventional M.2 adapters designed for permanent installation, the MB705M4P-S is engineered for removable storage environments where drives may be inserted and removed frequently.

    The integrated U.2 connector is rated for up to 10,000 insertion and removal cycles, providing significantly greater durability for hot-swap storage applications, validation labs, edge deployments, and enterprise systems requiring regular drive maintenance. Combined with its all-metal construction, the MB705M4P-S delivers the reliability required for long-term deployment in mission-critical environments.
  • Full-Metal Construction with Enhanced Thermal Management
    Built entirely from metal, the MB705M4P-S acts as both a structural enclosure and a passive cooling solution. The aluminum lid incorporates a pre-installed thermal pad that establishes direct contact with the SSD, transferring heat away from critical components and into the metal housing. Combined with the converter's open-air ventilation design, heat can dissipate efficiently to help maintain optimal operating temperatures during sustained workloads. The one-piece metal cover also improves overall usability by simplifying assembly and service while providing additional protection against physical damage.
  • Native PCIe NVMe Performance
    The MB705M4P-S preserves the native PCIe NVMe signal path and supports transfer speeds of up to 64Gbps, ensuring that storage performance remains uncompromised. During validation testing, the converter demonstrated less than 5% performance variance compared to direct-drive installations while maintaining full compatibility with modern PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs.

    Whether deployed in workstation environments, industrial systems, edge computing appliances, or high-performance storage platforms, the MB705M4P-S delivers the speed and responsiveness expected from modern NVMe storage.
  • Pair it with the USB 3.2 to U.2 NVMe SSD Reader (EZ-Adapter MB931U-1VB R1)
    The EZ-Adapter MB931U-1VB R1 is compatible with EZConvert MB705M4P-S and works with any USB ports, giving you the utmost flexibility of accessing M.2 NVMe On-the-Go.
  • Upgrade Portable NVMe Access with USB4 (EZ-Adapter MB307U-1VB)
    The EZ-Adapter MB307U-1VB is compatible with EZConvert MB705M2P-B, enabling fast portable access to installed M.2 NVMe SSDs through USB4 connectivity up to 40Gbps. Ideal for backup, validation, and high-performance data transfer workflows.

FAQ

Q: Can you recommend an add-on card that works with MB705M4P-S?

A: The following add-on cards are compatible with MB705M4P-S. We highly recommend using the official cable for the best compatibility.

 



Note:We highly recommend purchasing the cable from a local reseller that you trust. However, if you have a hard time finding the cables, PC-Pitstop is our long term partner, and they are able to ship worldwide.

 

We are currently certifying our NVMe enclosure with the major add-on card manufacturers. We will be adding compatible add-on cards to the list.
 

You can click here to report a compatible add-on card/cable. If you want to check the compatibility of add-on card(s) that are not on the list, please click here.


Q: I'm using Intel/Broadcom Tri-Mode HBA and RAID cards with the MB705M4P-S, but the drives do not show up in my system?

A: The issue is caused by RAID card manufacturers using a different pinout for Tri-Mode cards than is typically used for U.2 connections. When using these cards with U.2 NVMe drives and cables, a U.2 enabler cable must be used for compatibility, which reverts the pinout back to standard U.2 specifications. For more information, please click here.


Q: The system does not detect the M.2 SSD I installed in the ICY DOCK enclosure. What should I do?

A: Since the M.2 SSD is not designed for hot-swapping, we highly recommend powering off the device/system before inserting or removing an M.2 SSD. If the system is still unable to detect the drive, follow the steps below to scan for new hardware manually:

 

 

Windows 11 / Windows10 / Windows 8 – In the search box on the taskbar, type device manager, and click it from the menu. Once the device manager window pops up, right-click on the disk drive icon, and click scan for hardware changes.

 

Windows 7 – Right-click on the computer icon on the desktop, select properties, click device manager, right-click on the disk drive icon and then click scan for hardware changes.

If the issues mentioned above have been ruled out and the system still fails to detect the M.2 SSD, it is possible that specific system components do not support the utilization of U.2 SSDs. Please ensure the motherboard's connection interface and adapter card are compatible with U.2 SSD operation.

*U.2 SSDs and U.3 SSDs are distinct SSD types. Components designed exclusively for U.3 SSD usage do not necessarily support U.2 SSDs.


Q:I'm getting error messages after installing the MB705MP-B into my Dell PowerEdge server. What steps can I take?

A: Begin by ensuring that the M.2 SSD used is an NVMe version and that it is properly installed in the MB705M4P-S, with the M.2’s gold fingers fully engaged with the connector of the MB705. Also, confirm that the MB705M4P-S is securely connected to the system and check that your BIOS, iDRAC, and CPLD versions are the latest. If the problem continues, please reach out to our support team for further assistance at tech@icydock.com.


Q:Is the MB705M4P-S compatible with the U.2 SSD slots/bays of my Dell PowerEdge server?

A: Absolutely. The MB705M4P-S is meticulously designed to the precise form factor of standard U.2 SSDs, which includes the dimensions, connector placement, and size, ensuring full compatibility with U.2 SSD environments. Should you encounter any issues with the fit or connection, our support team is ready to assist at tech@icydock.com
