M.2 NVMe SSD Drive Tray for Mobile Rack Adaptors

The M.2 NVMe SSD Drive Tray is a specialised, high-performance accessory designed for seamless integration with the StarTech.com PCIe expansion product series. It serves as a spare or additional drive tray for models such as the M2-REMOVABLE-PCIE-N1 and 2M2-REMOVABLE-PCIE, allowing you to easily add or hot-swap compatible solid-state drives. This removable enclosure transforms your M.2 NVMe drives into easily manageable, lockable storage modules, perfect for mission-critical data environments where security and reliability are paramount.

The drive tray is engineered to accommodate a versatile range of M.2 NVMe SSDs, supporting 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factors with an M-Key interface. It features a convenient, tool-less installation design, enabling quick drive swaps without the need for screws or specialised tools. For enhanced security, the tray incorporates a robust latching mechanism that can be secured with an included lock (two keys provided), effectively deterring unauthorised removal and theft of sensitive data.

To ensure optimal drive performance and longevity, the tray is equipped with advanced cooling and stabilisation features. Integrated thermal pads facilitate efficient heat dissipation from the SSD, helping to prevent thermal throttling and maintain consistent, high-speed data transfer rates. Additionally, anti-vibration springs are fitted to absorb shocks and reduce impact during installation or transport, enhancing the overall stability and extending the operational life of your valuable storage drive.

A clear power and activity LED indicator on the tray provides at-a-glance status monitoring, so you can always verify drive operation. When used with its compatible base units, this tray offers unparalleled flexibility for managing multiple high-speed NVMe drives in workstations, servers, or editing bays. It's important to note that this tray is designed exclusively for M.2 NVMe (PCIe) drives;
