Icy Dock CP125

The CP125 from Icy Dock USA turns a PCIe 8x/16x expansion slot into a dual removable E1.S NVMe SSD (up to 9.5mm thickness) drive bay that allows to hot-swap/hot-plug NVMe SSDs.

In addition, the PCIe 5.0 x4’s 128Gb/s transfer speed is 20x faster than SATA III, making it a solution for data-intensive applications such as ML, cloud computing, data mining, and image/video processing.

Removable E1.S NVMe SSD Enclosure

The CP125’s removable drive tray design utilizes the PCIe express slot, making the E1.S NVMe SSDs installation and removal process hassle-free. The advantage of utilizing the PCIe expansion slot is that it provides power and data through a single PCIe slot, reducing the system’s cable clutter.

Tool-less E1.S Drive Enclosure

The tool-less E1.S NVMe SSD installation design takes less than 5s to complete, saving the hassle of dealing with a tiny, easy-to-lose SSD mounting screw.

Cooling Efficiency

The specialized slim E1.S drive tray is made of thick aluminum and acts as a heatsink to dissipate heat generated by the SSD. The included thermal pad fills the gap between the contact surface and transfers heat away from the E1.S NVMe SSD to the larger aluminum surface, allowing airflow to move the heat quickly with the 50mm blower fan incorporated into the mobile rack.

Compatibility

The CP125 is designed for PCIe slots and is compatible with PCIe 1.0/2.0/3.0/4.0/5.0 x8 and x16 slots.

Packed with Features
It is built with drive activity LED indicators on each drive tray to show the drive power and activities. The LED will automatically power off when no drive is detected to save energy.

The optional 2×4-pin HDD activity signal output (cable is not included) allows to transfer the drive activity signal to the computer case or LED panel and provide an alternative view at the desired location.
