Review on πŸ“ ICY DOCK FatCage MB155SP-B: 5-Bay EZ-Tray 3.5 Inch SATA Hard Drive Hot-Swap Backplane Cage in Triple 5.25 Bay by Holly Walker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fat cage with panache.

As advertised. This is a great product made from sensible materials. Ignore the complaints about the metal cassette handles. They are smart but practical. If you use a little common sense, they work great. As mentioned in other reviews, I had to flatten the metal ribs in my case to accommodate them. Easy and painless. The Icy Dock snapped into place and the included screws secure it nicely in my decades-old medium tower case. Note: Your case and mileage may vary. I have another full tower case that this fat cage would NOT be happy in. The 5.25-inch drive bays in this case are heavier metal and require more umph to bend. The performance was excellent. No problem. I use them to increase the hard drive capacity of my Freenas server. I decided to rotate the fan on the back to push the air out of the inside of the case. Case fans pull air in and out of the back of the case. So far all discs are cool. I should have bought this grease years ago. When I think of the second, when my supply of irresponsibility isn't completely exhausted.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Hard to tell
