ICY DOCK MB882SP-1S-1B 2.5" to 3.5" SSD & SATA Hard Drive Converter - Black

Comment:
It holds my tiny difficult disk so I can put it into a big slot. I enjoy it! None. Make sure the drive is all the way down and straight in there just before lowering the lid.... DO NOT FORCE IT, you can break your pins.

This was precisely what I was searching for.Needed a way to secure my SSD boot drive in a spare five.25 internal bay.After taking a moment to see how it worked.I inserted the SSD.Closed the lid & slid it shut locking the SSD in location.Then linked the ICY DOCK in location.Added energy & data cables.Booted the Computer to the BIOS.SSD was recognized right away.Installed my OS. No problems what so ever.This was a best solution.I'll be acquiring yet another SSD & an ICY DOCK for running a RAID set up. No cons. Only thing I can think of is that the connector for the SATA cable on the ICY DOCK can't " click " in place.Most SATA connectors now have a little locking tab to guarantee the cable wont come off until you want it to.The ICY DOCK does not have the potential for the cable to lock in place.Still, the cable fits on extremely snug & shouldn't come off accidently.Changing the type of connector on the unit would be my only gripe.It's a modest detail & shouldn't detract anyone from getting this product.

incredibly great little tricky drive case none incredibly effortless to instal just drop in the drive close the door slide it shut you are done really great i could have to get a coule additional of thies :)

Was searching for something greater looking than a regular converter plate. none however

Worked as Advertised. Some reviewers reported troubles reading the hdd or ssd inside the device, and obtaining to plug the drive in directly, but I did not have any complications. None that I can inform so far. I am getting trouble upgrading the firmware on an intel M-25 X2 ssd used with this device, but I do not believe this to be a fault of the converter. I bought two, utilizing a single with an old laptop hard drive, and one more with a new ssd, and each appear to be operating fine.

specifically what you'd anticipate. great enclousre for an ssd, the fact that i require a single beats working with zipties to hold it in plac

Goes from two.five" to three.5"Very effortless to install WOW - add a interface for a achievable bottleneck or point of failure. NOT Fantastic!!! Just a really undesirable thought IMONot to mention it is a full enclosure the is regardless of getting slightly vented is nonetheless gonna hold more heat in than just adapter brackets. Will have to return this - I just did't appear at it closely when I added it to the SSD invest in. Just went with bring about it was a newegg suggestion. Shame on me. There are a lot of other size adapters out there that don't add a interface connection. If you don't need to have why add it - you're nonetheless gonna have to plug up the SATA connector and power anyway. DO NOT Acquire!!

Great quality. Good fit. Performs seamlessly with SSD's. Screwless style. Can't say sufficient good issues about this except I wish each and every SSD came with 1. none. Now I have no excuse to leave my SSD dangling inside my desktop pc.

Placed a Vertex Turbo 60GB SSD in the dock. Effortless to mount my SSD inside of it and it fits in the bay like any other 3.five" drive. The SATA and Power connectors seem flimsy to me. I wouldn't use this to swap drives in and out of. I consider the connectors would fail if a drive were swapped in and out far more than 20 occasions or so. I had to install, then take away the SSD and then reinstall the SSD mainly because the small bag of beads to soak up moisture had broken open and tiny beads had been all over the dock. Tremendously frustrating possessing to clear all that out, but it's not the manufacturers fault, so absolutely nothing deducted for that. It could be vented superior, which is also why I deducted 1 egg, but the SSD is operating effectively within temp range. If you're going to call it "Icy", vent the issue greater. As I talked about, the connectors seem flimsy. Install your SSD the moment and don't mess about with it. Other than those two tiny points, it's a good item.

Plug and playAnything fits nicelyNicely engineered None Type of intriguing how you drop the SSD into the box, close the lid and the two SATA connectors come with each other. The 1st time I closed the lid I was nervous that the alignment may well be off and it would break some thing, every little thing lined up perfectly and no large deal.

Uncomplicated to use and install, does it's job None

-Excellent construct-Aesthetically pleasing-Functions Properly-simple -cost the value is a little high, i would rather see these for about ผ, but this is a wonderful item. Get it if you have SSD's, old laptop tough drives.... I have 2 for my OCZ Vertexes 120GB

Comment:
I was amazed at how simple it is to assemble. Slide the lid open, drop the drive in, slide the lid closed, and you're completed. It's nicely developed and nicely executed. The situation could stand to be a bit a lot more sturdy, but it's not a massive deal

Comment:
It operates great None so far It converts the size of your hdd.It doesn't overheat your hdd.Connection points, pins, etc are all super strong -- no bad wiring to speak of.

Comment:
I have 10 of these so far that are operating w/out concern in Sun X4500 and Supermicro Chassis w/out any difficulties to date for the past five months. None

Comment:
I had never ever used 1 of these before, so I didn't know what to expect. The SSD just fits inside and when you close the door the connections slide in. It was uncomplicated and took only a minute to install. None

Incredibly uncomplicated to "install" my SSD drive I purchased into the enclosure. The vents are good and as a different person had said, it looks like it was designed for my case. I would recommend this to anybody acquiring a SSD or wanting to use their SATA difficult drive from a laptop that died or use a laptop drive rather of a 3.5" drive (don't ask why an individual would but I'm certain someone will/has already.) It didn't take my drive and location it inside of the enclosure. No but actually, none. I have the Cooler Master HAF 932 (forgot the exact model) but anyway, the big 贿렣 case. The enclosure fit perfectly on the mounting bays that came with the computer. I have had no difficulty but also haven't genuinely to test it out to see how the SSD would carry out. I envision the identical. Good job and would recommend/buy once again.

Nice design, uncomplicated to use. If you have a Lian-Li case the mounting bracket that comes with the ssd may possibly not perform in the slide in rails. Looks like they are developed just to screw into a 3.5" bay. This factor is so basic. The only reason I could assume not to like would be if it was DOA.

It kinda performs. When you look beneath the Health tab in HD Tune Pro, there are tons of Ultra DMA CRC Error Counts. This error is since of a poor cable or connection. Taking the drive out and connecting directly solved my problem. I also believed i required this converter so i could connect Sata II power and information cables. I didn't want it at all. My drive was a 2.five notebook drive, but had regular Sata II energy and information connections. This was my fault for not researching sufficient. The converter feels affordable and has sharp edges inside. I bought a various converter in town for 7USD and its just a metal converter, which has space for 2 two.five" drives that was far superior. I have no clue why this converter has a high price tag. Its not worth 5USD. This drive adds a different pcb board and connection which just added to my troubles. Possibly i jumped the gun on this purchase, but im not going to rma mainly because its a waste of time, power, and paper. When i get a product for beneath 50USD, i keep it and tell everyone not to get it or keep away from it. I also stop shopping for goods produced by stated business mainly because when it is all stated and accomplished, reviews/rmas/warrantys don't mean as significantly as plain ol' "I'm taking my buisness to another manuf."

Creates a 3.5 inch box around your 2.five inch drive permitting you to mount it Precisely like a standard desktop drive. Before this came out I searched and searched and was unable to locate anything that would manage this task while. SSD manufacturers need to incorporate something similar to this or comparable to western digital's verlociraptor drive with every single SSD you buy. The majority of these drives at time of writing are purchased for desktops. My 5x3.five hot swappable raid cage forces 3.5 compliance. I searched discovered nothing. This came out and it solved the problem permitting me to essentially use the SSD in the way I wanted. If you have an SSD and strategy to use it on a desktop get this contraption... unless you want to use non-standard mounting brackets OR like me require to comply with 3.five due to 'sliding into location' hot swappable drive bays.

Comment:
Uncomplicated style. Great concept for 2.5" Noteboook HDDs. Absolutely pointless for any SSD. Heat output on any SSD is virtually absolutely nothing and you d not need to have any vents.Also it only holds one drive. Get a 2.5" to 3.five" mounting bracket for 1ǚ of the expense. That'll hold at most two SSDs.

Comment:
Bought 2 and installed two unique SSD's and each worked with out a hitch. None Will purchase again if necessary.

Does the job. Clever, but easy design. Effortless to use. Looks fantastic. Seems quite nicely-engineered and solid. Price, I suppose. It does the job nicely, no doubt about that, but perhaps not fairly worth the Jackson I put down for it. I will nonetheless disagree with those calling it a rip-off given that it does offer some advantages (above) and, seriously, it's not THAT expensive guys. Also, your SATA cables will not snap in, but they will fit snugly. If it were aluminum and had cable snaps, it would be great. For those curious about the further "interface" degrading speed and reliability: I'm no electrical engineer but when I look at the extremely straightforward PCB inside this unit all I see are conductors (or whatever they're referred to as) operating from the drive interface to the exterior. There are no chips or processors in there as far as I can tell that could slow you down or trigger complications. Anyway, just to put the matter to rest in my head I went ahead and benchmarked my SSD inside this converter and then "naked" and, guess what, there was totally no adjust in speed...

It fits perfectly and functions as it should. just what I expected. None that I noticed.

Construct Top quality - High good quality plastic and mechanismEase of Use - Inserting my initial Intel SSD was a breeze, tool-less installation holds the drive securely without additional screws Doesn't play nice with locking SATA data cables (Used the ones supplied by Gigabyte with my mobo), although I got it to recognize properly with a small wiggling, so I'm not taking any points off for this. Utilized in a new create with an 80GB Intel X25-M Mainstream (Gen 2, 34nm) boot drive, WD 1TB Caviar Black & 500GB Caviar Green information drives. Other parts: Gigabyte P55A-UD4P LGA1156, Intel Core i7-860, 4GB ƒX2GB) G.Skill DDR3, Sapphire Vapor-X HD5770.
