Review on πŸ’½ 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 Bill Russett

Simple, effective, just works.

Just looking for a simple, elegant and inexpensive way to add more drives to my home server. This dock fits the bill. It just fits straight into the double height 5.25 inch bay opening found in most PC cases like mine. It was very tight and I had to remove my PC's front bezel, but my PC was like that. Once I removed the bezel, she slid right in and reattached the front bezel. Just plug in two power cables and three SATA ports and you're done. The nice thing is that you don't have to use any screws or adapters. install disks. Just slide it in and pull out to take it out. I will be using this more for data backup so I can easily insert and remove drives as needed. I just hope the SATA ports can handle multiple insertions and removals. I don't plan on doing this a hundred times, but at least once or twice a month. thin profile, so as not to interfere with the AIO cooler inside the case, the fan did not rotate at first, but then turned the knob and rotated. It just needs a little extra power to get it moving. In general, the first impression is good.

Pros
  • Nice package
Cons
  • Empty
