Overview
Notice: Some of the cases� tool-less
5.25� drive bays have a shorter width than a normal 5.25� bay.
This problem prevents the tool-less 5.25" bay from being fully
compatible with MB324SP-B. However, this issue can be resolved by
wiggling the enclosure while applying slight pressure when inserting.
As one of our most exciting releases to
date, the ExpressCage MB324SP-B brings to you our highly
consumer-friendly enclosure made for anyone that requires affordable
storage density. Fit up to 4 x 2.5� SATA/SAS HDD/SSD (7mm-12.5mm)
into a single 5.25� bay with the ability to hot swap for easy drive
replacement and single channel SAS support (SAS host required).
Tool-less drive installation makes installing your drive more simple
than ever and optional bottom tray screw holes are provided for extra
protection and added stability. With a strategically placed 40mm
cooling fan placed behind the unit and all around ventilation, your
drives will stay cooler than the Arctic. An adjustable fan speed
jumper lets you choose between HIGH, LOW, or AUTO smart cooling so you
can set it based on your preference. Power users and system builders
alike will enjoy the space saving, tool-less and hot-swap features
provided by the ExpressCage MB324SP-B.
Utilize the Standard 5.25� Bay
Our ExpressCage series is the latest addition to our lineup of ICY
DOCK products and is catered to system builders and power users that
require much more from their 5.25� bay. The MB324SP-B utilizes that
5.25� standard bay and converts it into 4 x 2.5� hot-swappable
bays with support of 2.5� SATA and SAS HDD/SSD between 7mm to12.5mm
in height. Our versatile enclosure supports SATA III 6Gb/s and single
channel SAS (Requires SAS Controller Card). Extremely power efficient,
the ExpressCage MB324SP-B can power all 4 drives with a single 15pin
SATA power connector which can free up cable clutter and simplify your
system build. In addition, our active power feature keeps your
enclosure powered down until a drive is inserted minimizing energy
usage.
Features upon Features
Through careful planning and design, we�ve incorporated the most
desired features into our ExpressCage MB324SP-B. A 40mm cooling fan
located in the center-rear of the enclosure keeps your drives cool by
ventilating all 4 drives and dissipating heat through air vents
surrounding the unit. Control the amount of air flow with our included
fan speed control which can be set with a simple jumper pin. Set the
fan to HIGH for maximum airflow, LOW for whisper quiet operations, or
AUTO for smart cooling (determines the temperature of the drive and
changes the fan�s RPM accordingly to keep your drives cool).
If the stock fan is not your preferred
choice, weve made it easily upgradable with any standard 40mm fan with
2pin or 3pin headers. Choose your favorite aftermarket fan and install
it into our ExpressCage MB324SP-B with no effort at all. Aftermarket
fans with extra long cables can easily be managed with our built in
fan cable management system wind the cables up to keep them neat and
tidy.
Additionally, each bay has its own
indicator light to notify you of any hard drive activity. Soft-blue
LED makes it easier to sense when drives are in use without straining
your eyes. Locking latch support for both 7pin SATA and 15pin power
connector secures your connection so theyll never slip out of place.
(Requires cable with supporting locking latch features as well)
Innovative ExpressTray Design
The magic of our ExpressTray simplifies
the drive installation process to provide a complete tool-less process
to remove and install hard drives or SSDs. Attach a drive within
seconds to the ExpressTray and remove it just as easily �the process
is easy! Simply place the front end of the drive (the side without the
connectors) down into the built in screws and ensure that end sits
flush with the base of the tray. Now push the rear end (the side with
the connectors) downwards onto the drive and ensure that there�s no
space between the drive and the tray. To remove the drive, you simply
need to reverse the process. Pull on the rear tab of the tray to free
up the drive and then remove the drive. Our reinforced latching system
located on the ExpressTray is made extremely durable so you won�t
have issues with them further down the road.
Optional screw holes are available beneath
the tray in case you want additional drive stability. Ventilated slots
in front of and beneath the tray help keep airflow extremely efficient
to keep your drives icy cool.
