Review on ICY DOCK MB492SKL B Industrial External by Michael Clarke

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Damn cool. Replace that old 3.5 " drive with something useful!

Damn cool. tower body. In these days of tiny little cases and tiny laptops, it's nice to own a mid- to large-sized tower case full of drives, with six fans pushing through the air and glowing inside like a Christmas tree. I have room for six hard drives, 2 DVD/Blu-Ray drives and my XM radio. BUT - unfortunately, one holdover from that old case was a 3.5" floppy drive whose only function was to poke a 3.5" hole since the bezel cover was long gone. What to do? Are you leaving an old floppy drive lying uselessly in the front of the case, taking up valuable space? NO! Enter the 2.5 inch ICY-DOCK drive holder. in. Gone is the 1.44 MB miniature disk. , and in its place there is a slot that can accommodate a 2TB SATA drive. Works like high-performance server drives: press the button, grasp the handle, and pull the drive out of the slot. GREAT for disc backups. Just before your vacation, simply take out the discs and leave them on your desk in case of fire, burglary or kidnapping. All your belongings will be with you upon your return. Flashing lights during use make the computer even cooler and nerdy. I'm ordering a second one to replace my other 3.5" cover which is currently covering the space occupied by the old 250GB hard drive.
