  • Two SSDs, One Tray - Designed for Order Integrity

    CP156 is a ToughArmor series removable NVMe enclosure that fits into a standard external 3.5" drive bay. It allows two 7mm U.2/U.3 NVMe SSDs to be mounted together on a single removable tray. Unlike traditional 2-bay designs where each SSD is removed separately, CP156 keeps both drives physically secured on the same tray. This ensures that:

    • Drive order remains fixed
    • Paired SSDs are never separated
    • No accidental swapping during handling or transport

    For RAID configurations, mirrored datasets, or application-specific SSD pairs, maintaining correct drive sequence is critical. CP156 eliminates the risk of mix-ups during physical movement.

  • Built for Sneakernet & Controlled Data Transport

    CP156 is purpose-built for workflows where data is physically transported between systems. By securing both SSDs with screws inside the tray, the design prioritizes mechanical stability and safe movement over tool-less convenience. This makes it ideal for:

    • Sneakernet data transfer between secured environments
    • RAID volume transport without breaking drive pairing
    • Edge deployments moving logs and application data between sites
    • Media production workflows transferring matched SSD datasets
    • AI / ML environments delivering training data sets as a fixed pair
    • System imaging and duplication where SSD pairs must remain matched

    The unified tray design ensures that SSD pairing and data structure integrity remain intact throughout the transport cycle.

  • ToughArmor Full-Metal Protection for Demanding Environments

    As part of the ToughArmor family, CP156 features:

    • Full metal enclosure and tray construction
    • Structural rigidity for high-vibration environments
    • EMI shielding for stable signal integrity
    • Screw-secured SSD mounting for safe transport
  • This rugged construction makes CP156 suitable for:

    • Data centers
    • Edge computing
    • Industrial systems
    • Mobile or field-deployed equipment

    The design focuses on reliability and physical security rather than tool-less convenience.

  • High-Speed NVMe Performance in a Compact 3.5" Form Factor

    CP156 supports:

    • PCIe Gen4 x4 interface
    • Up to 64Gbps transfer bandwidth (depending on SSD performance)
    • SlimSAS 4i (SFF-8654 4i) connectivity
    • 15-pin PCIe power input

    Front LED indicators provide clear SSD power and activity status. Hot-plug capability enables SSD replacement without shutting down the system (subject to host support). Despite its compact 3.5" bay footprint, CP156 delivers enterprise-grade NVMe performance. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, it provides long-term dependability for professional storage environments.
