| As the gaming industry has gotten bigger over the past few years, many gamers seek alternatives on how they can game on the go. One of the comparable solutions, as opposed to gaming desktops, would be gaming laptops, as they have the right balance of performance while retaining mobility. However, with stock storage drives out of the box, the limitation of data storage can affect performance, as each PC game can reach up to 150GB, such as Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, Quantum Break, and so much more. With the all-new ICYNano MB861U31-1M2B provides a solution where there is no need to worry about running out of drive space. Simply pop in your M.2 drive without tools or screws needed and you are all ready to go! |

| When playing high-performance games, it is only right to pair with high-performance M.2 NVMe SSDs as there are performance benefits compared to conventional SATA standards. With the new NVMe interface, data transfer speeds can reach up to 10Gbps. Sometimes when working with large video files, it takes a while for the frames to load or even navigate between frames. However, with the faster disk access time, running 4K and ultra-HD graphics becomes quick and seamless. |

| |
| Maximum Cooling Performance |
| |
 |
| |
| Running intensive applications such as high-intensity games or even an operating system (OS) off of the ICYNano MB861U31-1M2B should not be a problem. Understanding that the NVMe M.2 SSD can notoriously overheat or experience throttling under heavy load, the dual function large heatsink lid and included thermal pad will maintain its optimal temperature. |
