Review on πŸ”₯ Icy Dock Tool-Less 5.25 Drive Bay Hot Swap Mobile Rack - ExpressCage MB326SP-B: Effortless 6 x 2.5 SATA HDD/SSD Storage Solution by Alfredo Testerman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great way to add more drives to your computer

I'm a web designer and having plenty of storage space is very important to me. Icy Dock has been very helpful to me as it allows me to swap out drives that I only use for backups, which means they don't have to be running all the time when I have my computer on. Only when I need them. The slots don't require any tools, but you can screw them in if you'd like. I used a 2.5" HDD and a 2.5" SSD (I've used Crucial MX500 and Western Digital Blue 2.5" 2TB drives and they all fit well. The quality of this Product is very good It only uses one SATA power connector but requires 4 SATA data cables (I grabbed an expansion card for my computer to make sure I have enough SATA ports) Dell Inspiron Desktop and I couldn't even eject the drives and had to take a hacksaw.Finally (as you can see in the picture) I moved my computer into the new case and it fit perfectly with no problems.Will definitely buy again if I ever find I need another.Icy Dock seems to have very high quality parts It's a shame 5.25 bays are going out of style these days with major computer manufacturers like Dell and HP The mustache I used in the photo is the Thermaltake Versa H22 . This is a good budget case but I would recommend a good CoolerMaster from the better Thermaltake. This one did the job so I can't complain.

Pros
  • Hard Drive Enclosure
Cons
  • Out of fashion
