Icy Dock ToughArmor MB491SKL-1B Ruggedized 3.5-Inch Enclosure 1-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS/SATA HDD/SSD

Icy Dock launches the ToughArmor MB491SKL-1B, designed for integration into a standard 3.5” drive bay, accommodating a 2.5-inch SAS/SATA HDD/SSD.

Tailored for the demanding settings, this enclosure boasts a MIL-STD-810G certified build for the body and tray, along with an IPX5-rated water-resistant cover, for use in military, vehicular, and maritime applications, as well as autonomous and aviation technologies. Dual locks- a key lock plus a thumb screw – ensure double the security, guarding against both shocks and unauthorized access. With a removable caddy facilitating hot-swap capability, drive maintenance is effortless and uninterrupted, ensuring your mission-critical operations run without a hitch.

IPX5 water-resistant front coverDesigned for harsh, moisture-prone environments, the IPX5-rated front cover protects against water jets from any direction, ensuring data remains safe even when exposed to water. This feature is for applications like field deployments in wet conditions or industrial settings where liquid exposure is a common hazard.

Double security lock system

The ToughArmor MB491SKL-1B incorporates a dual locking mechanism – a barrel lock and a thumb screw lock – to secure the drive in place. This system prevents accidental drive ejection due to vibrations or bumps, offering an extra layer of security in mobile or turbulent settings.

Streamlined hot-swap support

The full-metal removable drive caddy supports hassle-free hot-swapping, reducing downtime during hard drive failures – for time-sensitive projects. It accommodates 5 to 15mm height HDDs or SSDs, creating a versatile 2.5” hot swap bay for any standard SATA/SAS drive. Additionally, the Anti-Dust Flap prevents dust from entering the device when the caddy is not installed, maintaining system cleanliness and functionality.
