DuoSwap MB971SP-B 2.5"/3.5"
SATA Hot Swap Drive Caddy
Overview
Note: 2.5" hard drive or SSD with 7mm
height are compatible, however, the ejection button will not work with
these drives. The drive must be ejected manually in order to be
removed or swapped.
External docking stations are
popular because of its flexibility and compatibility. However, because
it is for external use, the interface limits the transfer speed of
your hard drive while only allowing one to be use at a time. In a
standard computer case, there are several 5.25 bays usually reserved
for your DVD ROM drive, however, will not naturally fit with your 2.5
or 3.5 hard drives without some assistance. We also want to create a
much faster and smoother transition from external to internal setups.
Using the DuoSwap MB971SP-B, you will save precious desktop space by
integrating both 3.5 & 2.5 slots into a single 5.25 bay. This
gives you the ability to expand and easily go from your external
docking station to your computer in just seconds.
Having a way to easily exchange
between the two industry standard SATA hard drive sizes is difficult
to find. The DuoSwap changes all of this as it is a 5.25 hot swappable
drive caddy for 2.5 & 3.5 SATA hard drive or SSD. The MB971SP-B
has the most flexibility within a single 5.25 device bay allowing
different hard drive combinations, featuring the ability to fit a
single 2.5, 3.5 or even both hard drives at the same time to produce
the maximum storage capability. Inserting two drives into the DuoSwap
gives you many benefits. With two drives inserted you can easily make
backups of your 2.5 to your 3.5 drive or cloning your 3.5 to your 2.5
drive via SATA speed. This makes DuoSwap a perfect tool for upgrading
from 3.5 SATA hard disk drive to 2.5 SATA solid state drive. You can
also take advantage of your extra 2.5 and 3.5 drives you have by
inserting them quickly and easily into the DuoSwap system. This saves
you time and money because of the MB971SP-B tool-less hot-swap design.
The MB971SP-B is perfect as a quick setup accessory for your system as
you can have your operating system in the smaller bay with the SSD and
your main secondary storage in the bigger bay with high capacity 3.5
hard drives. Our fast and simple hot-swap system on the MB971SP-B
provides easy access to your hard drive(s) and SSD. Then to ensure and
prevent that dust does not enter into the computer system, a two part
flexible anti-dust cover is integrated to help protect by closing when
a 2.5 HDD/SSD is in use. The MB971SP-B also makes hard drive
maintenance and monitoring easy because of the DuoSwap system
utilizing individual hard drive LEDs, power and eject buttons. With
two individual power buttons it allows you to power down each drive
when not in use to save energy and extend your drives lifespan. The
DuoSwap also uses two standard SATA connectors for drive data and a
single power to help prevent compatibility issues. Moreover, for
additional drive security, we designed an Eagle-Hook mechanism for
MB971SP-B. It switches on immediately the 3.5 drive inserted and locks
the 3.5 hard drive in place. So the 3.5 hard drive wont fall out when
you move the PC around.
The DuoSwap MB971SP-B works similar to other popular external docking
stations however, packed with more features such as individual LEDs,
power button and eject button. Most importantly, it allows the user to
be able to access both 2.5 & 3.5 SATA HDD or SSD concurrently.
Having an easy way to use your hard drives as they should be used,
without the worry of installing or removing makes it a must have
accessory for any personal PC, Lab testing PC or HDD duplication
system.
