Review on 💽 ICY DOCK Tray-Less Hot Swap Mobile Rack with 3X 3.5 Inch SATA/SAS HDD Docking Enclosure in 2 x 5.25 Inch Drive Bay (Includes 3X SATA Cables) - flexiDOCK MB830SP-B by David Foster

The product works, the build quality seems to be normal. Installation was pretty easy. If your cables are long enough, you can connect them before fully inserting them into the drive bays to make your work and cable connection easier. Based on SMART drive temperature stats, the drives in ICY DOCK are 4. -5 degrees Celsius cooler than the other drives I have in my case, so they are cooling the drives. But the fan is too loud to work or play near this computer. This product's noise is literally louder than my Dell PowerEdge R430 server as measured by the audio app on my phone. About 58-60 decibels for ICY DOCK (with the phone on top of the computer case and ICY Dock installed) and PowerEdge was about 56 decibels (again, the phone was on top of the case). So not a big difference but Dell has 6 small fans I guess compared to the single fan on the ICY Dock. The fan can be turned off, but when I did I saw that the drives' temperatures (again based on SMART stats) are higher than other internal hard drives, so I'm not sure if that would be advisable. Summary: Easy install Quality seems OK Keeps drives cool Very noisy fan - probably not for a computer that's on or in use all the time, or a multimedia PC in the living room.
