Overview

The ICY DOCK EZ-Adapter MB104U-1SMB R1 is aimed at the person who regularly handles bare drives — IT technicians, system builders, and anyone rotating storage in and out of a workstation. It connects a single 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD or one M.2 SATA/NVMe SSD to a host through USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type-C), with transfer rates reaching up to 10Gbps when the drive and host both support it. The defining trick is compatibility with ICY DOCK's drive trays: rather than pulling a drive out of an internal MB840TP-B, MB305TP-B, or MB204TP-B tray to test it, you slot the whole tray onto the adapter and go.

Construction leans on practicality over frills. Installation is tool-less, functioning with or without a tray, and the whole unit runs on USB bus power alone — there is no wall adapter to misplace. Support for UASP, plug and play, and TRIM keeps modern SSDs performing as expected, while a blue activity LED offers a quick read on drive access. An anti-slip rubber foot pad holds the adapter in place during use. Remember the single-drive rule: it will take a SATA drive or an M.2 SSD, but never both together. ICY DOCK covers the product with a 3-year warranty and complimentary support, a reassuring backstop for a tool that spends its life shuttling drives.
