ICY DOCK announced the ExpressSlot Elite MB303E5P-B, an adapter that supports two E1.S (9.5 mm) NVMe SSDs. The device operates on a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface and fits into standard expansion slots. Each SSD uses an independent PCIe x4 link to provide up to 128 Gbps of bandwidth.

The adapter features dual removable caddies at the PCIe bracket for rear access. To manage heat from PCIe Gen 5 SSDs, ICY DOCK included a 50 mm frameless fan and a sealed airflow chamber. For environments with high vibration, the company offers an optional MB221TP-1B screw-mount tray as a special-order accessory.
