Introducing the all-new EZ-Adapter Ex MB931U-1VB USB 3.2 Gen 2 to U.2 NVMe SSD adapter. This portable U.2 adapter provides media professionals and enterprise industries to easily manage U.2 NVMe SSD without using high-performance workstations, deep learning automation machines, and enterprise-level applications via a USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps connection.

The U.2 [2.5”] NVMe SSD (formerly called SFF-8639) is a high-performance drive that works under PCI Express (PCIe) specifications. The common questions of why the U.2 NVMe drive is not commonly available because it is typically used for large-scale enterprise companies, large manufactures, and media professionals to work along with exclusively high-end workstations, deep learning machines, and servers. The U.2 drive offers higher endurance, capacity, and performance than consumer-level drives.

To power users who are looking for a simplified solution to access their enterprise U.2 NVMe drives, the EZ-Adapter Ex MB931U-1VB is the ideal external solution via a USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection. Using the EZ-Adapter Ex allows the usage of U.2 drives on the go, without being tied to specific equipment on rack-mounted computers, servers, OEM computers, and specialized workstations. The EZ-Adapter Ex is compatible with most consumer-friendly computers and laptops out in the market today. Most power users and enterprise industries prefer using U.2 SSDs, as it offers a larger mean time between failure (MTBF) and longer-term reliability than consumer PCIe NVMe M.2 drives. Using the drive externally opens new opportunities you could not possibly do before such as performing backups, quick data transfers from your server to your computer, quick drive access for maintenance, or even provisioning new boot disks. 

The BlackMagic Mini Pro 12K is one of the most advanced digital film cameras that is currently used in commercials and films we see on TV today, featuring a whopping 12,228 x 6,480 12K resolution. To record in the highest resolution possible such as in 4K, 8K, or 12K, a fast enterprise U.2 NVMe SSD is needed as it delivers data speeds up to 900MB/s and allows longer recording times for full resolution RAW files. The URSA Mini Recorder attachment gives the user ability to record directly to the high-performance U.2 NVMe drive which simply provides an easy drive swap to coordinate to different cinema scenes. When it is time to transfer files to various editing workstations, the EZ-Adapter Ex MB931U-1VB provides simplicity to operate the drive through a USB connection, without the need of using special equipment or the hassle of connecting the drive internally, allowing for quicker access between different systems.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic placing a halt in our daily lives, including work, many professionals working in the medical, media, and automation industry have slowly adapted to working remotely from home. However, there are difficulties having to adjust to working remotely, especially to those who cannot bring their high-end workstation/equipment from work or the U.2 NVMe drives are simply not compatible with their own personal computers. In order to work from home successfully, the number one priority is to have the essential proper equipment to get up and running in no time. The EZ-Adapter Ex MB931U-1VB gives the ability for users to bring their enterprise U.2 SSD home and have it simply accessing through a USB connection, avoiding time consuming hardware upgrades and installation.

If you are looking to mimic the U.2 NVMe drive with an M.2 NVMe drive, the EZConvert MB705M2P-B is the ideal solution. It simply converts your M.2 NVMe SSD to U.2 form factor without sacrificing the performance, while avoiding the cost of expensive U.2 NVMe drives. It features a patent-pending tool-free adjustable M.2 locker for tool-less drive installation/removal, a U.2 connector rated for at least a 10,000+ insertion/removal cycle, and supports the full bandwidth of PCIe NVMe specifications of 32Gbps.
