5-in-3 Tray-less 6G SATA HDD Cage by Icy Dock

The FlexCage from Icy Dock focuses on maximizing storage density, while using the least amount of 5.25" device bays possible.

To complement the device, the FlexCage uses features such as plug and play tray-less design, replaceable 80mm cooling fan, 3 speed fan control with Smart Cooling Technology, and control of the drive with individual power buttons.

With a large density of drive storage, it can be used in consumer, enthusiast, and system integrator systems that hot swap drives frequently.

The FlexCage is compatible with most gaming / media / server computer cases, and it is for file server application such as unRAID, Windows home server and others.

Space Saving and Tray-Less Design
The MB975SP-B is designed to maximize space use by allowing up to 5 x 3.5" SATA III HDDs, while only consuming 3 x 5.25" device bays. The FlexCage also only requires three 15-pin power ports to power up to five 3.5" HDDs. It is equipped with tray-less technology – no screws or tools are necessary to insert or eject the drives, making hot swapping a hassle free experience.

Intelligent Cooling
The MB975SP-B uses an 80mm rear cooling fan to pull cool air from the front ventilation slots, over the drives, and exhaust the warm air out through the rear ventilation slots.

It gives the user freedom to choose the speed of the fan, or to select ‘auto’ so that the fan adjusts its speed using Smart Cooling Technology. The auto function determines the temperature of the drives, and changes its RPM accordingly. This results in decreased power consumption, an increased lifespan for the fan, and unnecessary excess noise. The user can also choose a high setting, best used for intense applications such as home server use, or a low setting, best used with lighter work loads or silent operation, such as hourly backups or audio recording / editing.

The included 80mm cooling fan is replaceable and maintainable, as it is compatible with most aftermarket cooling fans of the same size. To expand the range of compatible fans, both 2- and 3-pin standard fan power ports are available and can be accessed. To support the cooling system in place, the FlexCage body is built using aluminum to help dissipate heat even further.

Built for Enthusiasts
The MB975SP-B features aluminum housing and an all matte black exterior finish. With its minimally intrusive front design, it fits in seamlessly with premium enthusiast PC cases.

It uses the Active Power Technology+ power system, giving full control of the HDD environment. To power up the HDD, the front of the device includes individual power button for each drive and double as an LED indicator showing drive power and activity status. When one drive is turned on, the cooling fan will also turn on to start cooling the HDD.

Similarly, each drive door has a multi-locking latch mechanism in order to prevent a door from being opened easily. Each door uses a metal latch assembly and strike plate in order to keep the drive secured and reliable while in operation. Anti-vibration technology is included on each of the doors and internally to help prevent reduction in drive performance.

The FlexCage is backed with 3-year warranty, equivalent to a HDD’s warranty.
