Connect the MB104U-1SMB to your PC and enjoy immediate and effortless access to your SSD storage.
Its open design allows solid-state drives to be outdoors, completely
exposed, to ensure maximum cooling and heat dissipation. The adapter has been designed for mobility, to be light, practical and durable, slipping easily into a pocket or briefcase. USB host power supply, without a power adapter, makes this dock the perfect nomadic SSD accessory.

Slimline SAS connection. It comes equipped with removable drive trays for SSDs from 7 to 15mm in height, so the MB105VP-B allows you direct access and use on the front panel.
