additional system space. The MB174U3S-4SB accepts up to four 3.5 SATA
3 hard drives with blazing fast USB 3.0 and eSATA interface. The
built-in 120mm cool blue LED fan with all around mesh design provides
excellent cooling to the drive which can extend HDD lifespan. The easy

configure various setting that fits your need. Lastly, the EZ-Grip
handles gives you the ability to replace drives in a matter of

Multiple Interfaces with Great
Capacity
As storage space remains an integral part of many applications, the
MB174U3S-4SB aims to fill the void which the storage market has
neglected. With support of up to 4 drives, the Black Vortex can
provide ample storage space for all your data needs without occupying
space within your system. With 4 x 6TB hard drives, you can squeeze up
to 24TB of storage into this compact enclosure.
Boasting SuperSpeed USB 3.0, the Black
Vortex MB174U3S-4SB can quickly transfer files between your computer
and your external drives, or transfer the file in between the drives
in the blink of an eye. With backwards compatible USB 2.0 support, you
can connect it to many supporting devices that support external
storage devices through USB 2.0 such as wireless routers, gaming
consoles, Nas storage, and smart TVs that have USB interface.
Our new external enclosure also supports
eSATA port-multiplier interface for those that dont have USB 3.0
interface. (Requires eSATA port multiplier support from host end in
order to detect all drives).
EZ-Grip Handles
Drive installation has never been easier with the EZ-Grip handles.
Installing EZ-Grip to your hard drive only requires two screws. You
can easily slide your drive into the Cage and lock the switch. Once
your drives are locked in place, they�re not going anywhere.
The EZ-Grip handles are compatible with
our lineup of portable docks such as the MB881 and MB981 HDD docking
stations. You can quickly remove your drive from the Black Vortex, and
insert them into our docking stations without removing the EZ-Grip
handles. This is extremely useful when transferring data in between
systems. The EZ-Grip handles are also compatible with our 2.5� to
3.5� HDD/SSD Ezconvert series: EZ-Convert MB382, MB482, MB882 &
MB982 series, allowing you use your 2.5� HDD/SSD with the Black
Vortex hassle-free.
Efficient Cooling
The Black Vortex MB174U3S-4SB gets its
name from the whopping 120mm fan integrated in the unit, which allows
it to efficiently cool your drives and increase HDD lifespan. The
included 120mm fan effectively pulls cool air into the enclosure
resulting in a lower overall temperature for your drives which
prevents performance decrease from overheating disks. We�ve included
an adjustable 3 settings fan switch (high, low, and off) to allow you
more control over airflow, temperatures, and noise levels. The 120mm
fan also features an adjustable built-in LED lighting that brilliantly
Illuminates and provides an ambient blue color. It�s a surefire way
to grab the attention of everyone in the room.
Easy Maintenance and Controls
Controlling the enclosure is simple and can be done by accessing the
front of the enclosure. With brightness controls, the 3 different
settings (high, low, and off) allows you to dim and brighten the LED
fan with a simple touch. Fan controls allow you to adjust the airflow
from high, low, and off, and the 120mm cooling fan can be easily
replaced to an aftermarket 120mm fan with 3 pin connector.
Clean up is a breeze with the included
removable dust filter that can easily be detached and rinsed within a
matter of seconds. Weve made the protruding handles removable if youre
looking for a more minimalist design and weve designed this enclosure
to be tough yet attractive.
