Review on Icy Box Protection Box: Ultimate Storage Carrying Case for 4X 2280 M.2 SSD - Protects Against Humidity, Dust, and Collisions! by Tony Cole

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great but only on 80mm SSDs (2280)

This is one of those things you didn't know you needed. I have a few m.2 drives lying around and just kept the little plastic holders that come with some drives and popped them in there. This thing is way better, they're better protected, and I can have multiple drives in one place. I wish it could hold more than 4 discs but that's pretty good and you can stack discs too (spoiler alert). Anything else, wifi cards, 42mm ssds won't fit because I think these m.2 cards are a bit narrower than the 2280 format. You can try but they slip and fall out when you take the case to open. The workaround I had was to place it under the 80mm m.2 SSD and press the 80mm SSD against it. It seems to work, bit of a crap. If you do this you can't stack 2 double sided SSDs on top of each other, it's not deep enough (I have a 42mm Transcend and Mushkin Helix SSD which are double sided and don't really fit together. Single sided and double sided together always work still) I understand that narrower foam would make it more difficult to fit 80mm SSDs, but for those dealing with 42mm SSDs it's a bit annoying hence 4 stars. But overall it's still great.
