  • Minimal-Footprint PCIe Gen5 Storage for Highly Space-Constrained Systems
    The CP160-1 is an ultra-compact removable M.2 NVMe SSD mobile rack concept designed specifically for 2230 SSDs and applications where installation space is extremely limited. By reducing the enclosure footprint to accommodate only the compact 30mm M.2 SSD form factor, the CP160-1 enables removable PCIe Gen5 storage integration in custom embedded systems, industrial computing platforms, and specialized OEM designs.

    Featuring a removable metal drive tray, tool-less SSD installation, and flexible mounting options, the CP160-1 provides an accessible and serviceable NVMe storage solution for unconventional system layouts where standard drive bays or longer M.2 mobile racks cannot be accommodated.
  • 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 components during maintenance or upgrades. The CP160-1 introduces a compact removable tray architecture with tool-less SSD installation, allowing users to replace or service M.2 2230 SSDs without accessing internal system components.

    Its shortened metal tray design simplifies SSD maintenance while minimizing the space required for removable storage integration.
  • Purpose-Built for M.2 2230 SSDs and Ultra-Compact Applications
    By focusing exclusively on the M.2 2230 form factor, the CP160-1 significantly reduces the space required for removable NVMe storage compared to designs supporting longer M.2 SSDs.

    Its minimal enclosure footprint and flexible mounting design allow system integrators to place removable storage in previously impractical locations or combine multiple units into custom high-density storage configurations.
  • Target Applications:
    • Compact embedded systems – Removable system or application storage in tightly integrated hardware
    • Small-form-factor industrial PCs – Serviceable NVMe storage where internal space is limited
    • Edge computing appliances – Compact removable storage for distributed computing platforms
    • Custom rackmount and modular systems – Flexible placement of multiple storage modules within restricted chassis layouts
    • OEM and specialized computing platforms – Custom storage integration for portable, mobile, or non-standard system designs
  • PCIe Gen5 Storage Performance for Ultra-Compact and Embedded Platforms
    Using an MCIO 4i connection, the CP160-1 supports PCIe 5.0 x4 bandwidth up to 128Gbps (depending on SSD and host performance), bringing high-speed NVMe connectivity to exceptionally compact system designs.

    Despite its reduced footprint, the CP160-1 maintains a removable storage architecture suitable for embedded computing, industrial systems, and specialized platforms requiring both compact installation and simplified SSD accessibility.

    Flexible mounting points on the enclosure allow system integrators to secure the CP160-1 to custom chassis structures, brackets, or multi-module assemblies without relying on conventional drive bays.
  • Compact Fanless Design Optimized for System Airflow
    Instead of using an integrated cooling fan, the CP160-1 adopts a fanless mechanical design intended for systems with existing chassis airflow management. Its compact enclosure and ventilated rear structure help minimize airflow obstruction while supporting heat dissipation within controlled system airflow environments.

    The full-metal construction provides structural rigidity and assists passive heat dissipation, making the CP160-1 suitable for industrial, embedded, and space-constrained system integration.
