Upgraded ICY DOCK Dual 2.5 to 3.5 HDD Drive 🔧 Bay SSD Mounting Bracket Kit Adapter - Tool-Less EZ-Fit Lite MB290SP-B Review

Solid build quality, easy installation, no screws required. The only issue I had was connecting power cables to the SSDs in the top and bottom slots. Since the SATA connectors are side by side, the power cables I had in the middle of the cable breakout from my PSU were difficult to install correctly as they have cables going up and down. However, the connector at the end of the power cable breakout is suitable as it is long and fast. I was concerned that I might bend and break the SATA…

I'd like to deduct 1/2 star for slightly too large tray tolerances, but I doubt that's a problem and I'm picky, SSD. For value, I use 3.2TB Firecuda drives for each of these triplets. Forgot to account for gaps requiring special cables, but this adapter fits a standard 3.5" bay. Even those intended for quick release. The "double sided" design or non-polarity of the trays so they can be inserted "upside down" or "right way up" is a smart move that makes this adapter versatile and very…

In my case I needed to fit two SSDs in a 3.5" bay of a small server. SATA and power cables are already provided and supplied by the RAID controller. This adapter places the two SSDs too close together to use the existing (combo) SATA/power connectors. In a more typical configuration, using the supplied cables This is not a problem. Another problem I had was that with two SSDs installed and the entire assembly snapped into the Dell drive carrier, the carrier was not level due to the adapter…

I needed to install a small SSD in my Dell computer which only has 3.5 full size slots. After some deliberation I ordered this one. I find it works very well, no tools are required to install the SSD. The device has two levels, so that two SSDs can be installed. The SSD slides in and fits snugly, held in place by a pair of plastic tabs. Then the whole assembly fits exactly on the computer. I have absolutely nothing to complain about with this model. They include four small screws to attach the…

In a recent home computer (re)build we decided to make the boot drive externally accessible via a docking system, but this was not the case possible two computers, so we needed another option. ICY DOCK's TRIO provides this feature, making it easier for you to access your boot drive and other devices. On a Mini-ITX system, a few screws remove the case covers and by unplugging the SATA data/power cables and pressing the two tabs, the boot disk can be pulled out so we can copy and then reinsert…
