Icy Dock MB992SK-B Introduced

SFF (Small Form Factor) storage systems are becoming more popular due to its low power consumption and space-saving benefits. With the advent of recent solid state technology, this allows 2.5" SSD’s to easily achieve 500MB/sec in transfer rate, which overcomes the 3.5" SATA HDDs in every category except capacity. Therefore, maximize the capacity in a limited space becomes an important task that many storage consulting firms are faced with often.

For SFF systems, ICY DOCK Europe introduced the MB992SK-B 2.5" SATA Mobile Rack solution for use in 3.5" device bays (floppy bay).

Space Saver
Utilizing its small form factor, the MB992SK-B is for use in industrial PCs, SMB SFF servers, mobile DVR systems, or even home servers. The ability to house 2 x SATA SSD or HDD in a single 3.5" bay makes it a valuable asset, such as, building small RAID-1 backups for SMB workstation or fast RAID-0 arrays for personal computer. To keep cables from cluttering, a single SATA 15 power pin is used to ease installation.
 
Protect Investments
Making sure your drives are in good hands and last as much as possible is considered to any enterprise build and design. The MB992SK-B is capable of holding up in the harshest environments, with the metal construction in the body and its smaller components. It can be used various systems including: military and law enforcement deployment, as well as manufacturing conditions such as embedded control systems and factory automation systems.
 
The metal material used grants heat dissipation transfer from the drives to the mobile rack. Multi-Flow Technology (MFT) routes air flow correctly for passive cooling, via ventilation slots on the front, rear, top and bottom (in multiple locations). Lastly, Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) and EMI Grounding are used to provide a stable environment for the HDDs or SSD’s used.
 
Versatile Utility and Security
A LED is installed into the front of the mobile rack to provide drive status information at all times. Active Power Technology (APT) allows each LED to be on only when a drive is inserted into the enclosure. For security, the eagle-hook lock system on the tray makes sure the  drives will not eject when not needed. Additionally, the 2-segment key lock provides protection to theft of drives as well as safeguards sensitive data.
 
The new EZ Slide Micro trays make drive interchangeability and maintenance hassle free. The trays are also designed to accommodate 7mm to 9.5mm height HDD and SSD, creating a 2.5" hot swap bay for any standard SATA HDDs and SSDs.
