Icy Dock CP097 Drive Enclosure for 5.25" U.2, U.3, PCI Express NVMe 4.0 x4 - SFF-8654 SlimSAS Host Interface Internal - Black

Product Introduction

Introducing the CP097 high speed, high-density removable U.2/U.3 PCIe SSD cage (also known as the mobile rack or drive enclosure), designed for dedicated rackmount systems, database systems, real-time rendering workstations, and backend servers needing a compact, high-speed storage solution with easy maintenance feature.

Next Generation PCIe Interface

The CP097 supports 6 x 2.5" U.2/U.3 PCIe NVMe drives in a single 5.25" bay (up to 9.5mm drive height) with up to 64Gb/s transfer rates per drive and uses only 3 x SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) data connectors for easy cable management and better system airflow. These are essential for high-performance PC builds.

Removable Tray for Easy Maintenance

The unique removable drive tray design allows the drive to be easily inserted/removed by changing the drive trays, granting for a quick drive swap without shutting off the system. Each drive is secured by the same Eagle-hook lock system found in our ToughArmor series, preventing accidental ejections of drives.

Indestructible and secure

The CP097 uses two SATA power connectors powers the unit and six drives, ensuring proper power for all drives when in full usage. Full metal construction provides durability under harsh environments, making this suitable for industrial workstations, on-field military stations, and in-vehicle systems.
