Icy Dock Unveils New Concept Product CP155 Adapter

[btarunr]

The ICY DOCK CP155 is a rugged E1.S SSD form factor converter that transforms a 5.9 mm or 8.01 mm E1.S NVMe SSD into a standard 9.5 mm E1.S drive. It precisely matches the connector position, external dimensions, and mounting points of native 9.5 mm E1.S modules, ensuring full compatibility with existing backplanes, trays, and tool-less drive carriers. Built with a durable all-metal enclosure and bundled with high-efficiency thermal pads, the CP155 not only improves compatibility but also enhances passive heat dissipation—making it an ideal solution for system integrators, data center engineers, and OEMs looking to unify SSD module dimensions across multiple platforms.

The CP155 bridges the mechanical gap between thinner E1.S SSD formats (5.9 mm and 8.01 mm) and the standardized 9.5 mm E1.S drive slots. By replicating the standard height, screw hole locations, and connector alignment, it ensures a secure and reliable fit within 9.5 mm-compatible E1.S trays, caddies, and hot-swap server infrastructure - eliminating the need for custom modifications.



LED Indicator Window for Drive Status Monitoring
The CP155 includes a rear cutout that exposes the onboard LED indicators of 5.9 mm and 8.01 mm E1.S SSDs - positioned to align with the standard 9.5 mm E1.S LED window location. This allows users to clearly view SSD power and activity status without removing the converter, ensuring convenient monitoring during installation or maintenance.

Optimized Passive Cooling with Full-Metal Design
Equipped with an aluminium top cover and SECC steel bottom panel, the CP155 enclosure serves as a robust heatsink to help dissipate excess heat. It comes with both thin and thick thermal pads to ensure direct contact between the SSD and enclosure surface, reducing operating temperatures and prolonging SSD endurance in high-density or thermally constrained environments.

Is this like... a placeholder or something? "Concept Product"?

They have some concept products that I would really like to see for sale, but some have been concepts for years already and might never see the light of day.
