  • Ultra-Slim Removable PCIe Gen5 Storage for Space-Constrained Systems
    The CP160 is a compact removable mobile rack concept designed for a single M.2 NVMe SSD in highly space-constrained systems. Built around a minimal enclosure footprint and removable tray architecture, the CP160 enables front-accessible PCIe Gen5 storage deployment in custom rackmount, embedded, compact workstation, and space-constrained system designs.

    Designed to support standard 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280 / 22110 M.2 NVMe SSDs, the CP160 combines flexible installation options with a slim mechanical profile that can be integrated into non-standard mounting locations where conventional drive bays are unavailable.
  • Removable Tool-Less M.2 NVMe Storage for Compact System Designs
    Traditional internal M.2 SSD installation often requires opening the chassis and accessing tightly packed internal components during maintenance or upgrades. The CP160 introduces a removable tray architecture with tool-less SSD installation, simplifying SSD deployment, replacement, and servicing in compact systems where accessibility is limited.
  • The tray supports standard 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280 / 22110 M.2 NVMe SSDs, allowing flexible SSD selection across different capacity and endurance requirements. Its slim mechanical structure also enables multiple CP160 units to be integrated into custom multi-drive layouts for space-constrained platforms and non-standard chassis designs.
  • PCIe Gen5 Storage Performance for Ultra-Compact and Embedded Platforms

    Using an MCIO 4i connection, the CP160 supports PCIe 5.0 x4 bandwidth up to 128Gbps (depending on SSD performance), enabling next-generation NVMe storage performance in highly compact deployment environments.

    Its ultra-slim removable enclosure design is particularly suitable for systems where standard drive bays or fixed internal SSD mounting are impractical.

    • Ultra-compact embedded systems
    • Small form factor IPCs and edge appliances
    • Transportation and mobile computing systems
    • Portable or compact workstation platforms
    • Custom OEM-integrated systems
    • Space-constrained AI edge and industrial deployments

    The enclosure also includes flexible mounting points, allowing integrators to install the CP160 into custom brackets, chassis layouts, or specialized embedded or rackmount integrations.

  • Compact Fanless Design Optimized for System Airflow
    Instead of relying on integrated active cooling, the CP160 adopts a fanless mechanical design optimized for systems with existing chassis airflow management. The slim enclosure profile and open rear ventilation structure help minimize airflow restriction while allowing the enclosure to operate efficiently within controlled system airflow environments. This makes the CP160 particularly suitable for rackmount, embedded, and compact systems where thermal airflow paths are already carefully engineered.

    The full-metal construction also assists passive heat dissipation while improving structural rigidity for industrial, embedded, and space-constrained deployments.
