RAIDSONIC ICY DOCK EZ-Adapter Ex MB931U-1VB R1 U.2 NVMe to USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 External Adapter

The RAIDSONIC ICY DOCK EZ-Adapter Ex MB931U-1VB R1 is an external adapter that converts a U.2 NVMe SSD interface to a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection. It provides a compact single-drive solution for connecting U.2 NVMe storage to desktops, laptops, or other hosts with a USB-C port. The adapter supports high-speed data transfer over USB-C, enabling access to NVMe drives for tasks such as file transfer, backup, diagnostics and temporary expansion of external storage.

Advantages

The adapter offers a straightforward plug-and-play method to access U.2 NVMe SSDs without installing them into a workstation, supporting fast external access via USB-C 3.2 Gen 2. Its compact form factor and tool-free drive insertion simplify swapping and transport of a single drive. The design focuses on compatibility and convenience, allowing technicians and users to read, write and diagnose U.2 NVMe media externally.

Suitable for

• Data migration and high-speed file transfer between systems
• Backups and temporary external storage for large NVMe volumes
• Drive diagnostics, cloning and forensic access to U.2 NVMe SSDs
• Portable access to a single U.2 NVMe SSD from a laptop or desktop via USB-C

Key specifications

• Interface conversion: U.2 NVMe to USB-C 3.2 Gen 2
• Host connection: USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) supporting up to 10 Gbps theoretical throughput
• Drive form factor supported: U.2 NVMe SSD (single drive)
• Drive installation: tool-free insertion/removal mechanism for one drive
• Power and data delivered via USB-C with required host power support for the drive
• Compact, portable external adapter housing designed for single-drive use

How to use

Connect the adapter to a host computer using a compatible USB-C cable and ensure the host supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 for optimal performance. Insert the U.2 NVMe SSD into the adapter’s U.2 connector following the adapter’s insertion guidance, secure the drive according to the adapter’s mechanism, and allow the operating system to detect the drive. Use standard OS file managers or your preferred disk utility to access, copy, or diagnose the drive. When finished, unmount or eject the drive from the OS before removing the adapter and drive to avoid data corruption.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a USB-C host port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 and a high-quality USB-C cable. Ensure the host provides sufficient power for the installed U.2 NVMe SSD or use an externally powered USB-C port if required. Always safely eject the drive from the operating system before disconnecting to prevent data loss.
