## Description

desertcart.com: ICY DOCK Hot Swap 3 Bay 3.5 Inch SATA/SAS HDD Docking Enclosure Mobile Rack in 2 x 5.25 Inch Drive Bay (Include 3X SATA Cables) | flexiDOCK MB830SP-B : Everything Else

Review: Nice for the price, but with its idiosyncrasies. - To wit: The little plastic door that covers the drive bay openings appeared to have one broken attachment spoke. I had not planned to leave it in place anyway. The computer I'm using the DuoSwap in is out of the way and drives will be filling those spaces most of the time. Installation was straightforward. I had some spare rails and the attachment screws worked normally. Cable hookup (power and SATA) was unremarkable. I tested a Seagate 3TB HDD and a Seagate 5TB HDD and they both functioned normally. The eject buttons are stiff but workable. (I pushed the HDD eject button with the blunt end of a screwdriver.) The SSD slot was problematic. A 240 GB Crucial drive was recognized, but I had to "press any key" to avoid a disk check each time it loaded. A SanDisk 120 GB SSD was never recognized in spite of efforts to optimize recognition. The SSD drives had identical dimensions. Baffling. For my planned uses (computer backup, movie transfer and editing) it should work nicely. Update - 2018 0220 - The Dock is working just as before and is functionally FANTASTIC. No more worries about having to get into the computer case to add/remove storage drives. Backups are faster than when I was using USB3 external drives. Along the way, I discovered that some of the "failed" USB3-case hard disk drives in my Dead Drives box in fact just had a failed SATA bridge card or a controller or interface card problem, and the hard drive itself worked fine after removal from the USB3 case. These still-functioning drives (always test first!) could now be used for whatever an internal hard drive can do, and at the same speeds and swappable in seconds. Testing SSD vs HDD performance for a variety of tasks is easily performed. I wish I had gotten the DuoSwap Drive Caddy years ago. Upgrade to 5 stars.
Review: GREAT DRIVE BAY PRODUCT! HAVE USED FOR QUITE AWHILE. - I bought several ICY DOCK MB971SP-B HDD units some years back and was greatly impressed with the performance reliability and ruggedness. The units are designed to mount like a conventional CD/DVD ROM and HDDs can be accessed from the front computer face, just like a typical CD and will work with 2.5 and 3.5 SATA drives. No more opening up the computer to change out or swap drives! Just slide them in or out as needed. Both 2.5 and 3.5 drives can be used simultaneously individually or neither, if desired. Front panel switches allow either or both of the HDD units to be turned on or off. My experience with these units is so good I just bought 3 more. I only gave the unit 4 stars because the internal "flip up" drive port "dust door" is fragile and broke off on one of the older units during normal use. The unit still worked but the maker needs to improve the flip up port dust cover to make it more sturdy. Other than that, this is a great product. Don't hesitate to buy it if you work with different HDDs swapped in or out of your computer or just want an easy way to use your hard drives. In my opinion, all computers ought to come from the OEM with these units installed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this require two motherboard sata ports for both drives, or just one?**
A: Separate sata port for each drive on the motherboard or on additional sata ports you may have installed in the desktop

**Q: Does it come with the fan?**
A: Yes, it does come with a 80mm fan in the rear. I highly suggest reading and looking at the provided images on the product page thoroughly

**Q: does this support sata111**
A: The MB971SPO-B supports SATA III (SATA 3) speeds.

**Q: If you put in a SSD occasionally and clone your internal SSD (OS) to it, will it boot to it? Will it boot to the 3.5 if it has an OS on it?
Thanks**
A: Yes. The SATA connectors are pass-thru type on this device,  unlike many drive docks. I installed this device solely for system imaging backup/restoration and confirmed my restored drive is bootable.However, do note that the compactness of the 2-drive designs means the HDD can get toastily hot! Even with only 1 x 3.5in HDD it can get very toasty, but a single 2.5in SSD will be perfectly fine ...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality Build
*by A***O on December 31, 2024*

I have a "Old School" tower with a Optical bay that I can now use as a trayless HDD transfer drive to transfer (or backup) files, pics, etc.... Pros: The quality of this unit is awesome. All metal, with nice black color accents and a metal arm that helps push out the HDD with ease when removing. It works better than the competitions version. Also, there is a blue light showing HDD activity that can be turned off with a switch if drive is not is use. Nice touch. Cons: I wish this version had a lock on it. I've seen a previous version of this unit with a lock, but it may be on an older version. It's not a deal-breaker but it would have been a great addition to have.
