ICY DOCK ToughArmor 5.25" HDD caddy

With the Icy Dock ToughArmor MB608SP-B we present a new, massive, hot swap removable frame made of metal for six 2.5" SATA 6Gbit/s hard disks or SSDs in a 5.25" mounting slot. The MB608SP-B is based on our particularly popular MB996SP-6SB removable frame, and takes over all the important features here, but is also produced more cost-effectively without sacrificing stability or material strength. For improved compatibility, the original 4-pin Molex power connections were replaced by more widespread 15-pin SATA power connections. The MB608SP-B takes 6 x 2.5" SAS/SATA HDD/SSD from 7mm up to 9.5mm height and supports hot swap for fast and easy drive changes. The 40mm fan has a 3-stage fan control for optimum flexibility – switch off the fan completely (off), operate the fan particularly quietly with SSDs (low) or use the full power (high) when using mechanical SATA hard disks. The MB608SP-B is made of solid metal and can be used even in the most demanding environments, making it the ideal storage component for medical and military systems, industrial computers (IPC) and embedded systems.

Industrial requirements
Ensuring drive protection and longevity are the most important criteria in the development and manufacturing of storage systems. The MB608SP-B is able to withstand even the harshest environments thanks to its particularly robust full-metal construction - from the outer housing to the trays. The ToughArmor full metal design is perfect for industrial and medical systems that need to meet flammability requirements, as the full metal design already meets most flammability requirements.

Versatile and solo trays
The MB608SP-B uses our EZ Slide Mini Trays, which make changing the drive and maintenance completely effortless. The trays are made of sturdy metal and last many lifetimes without showing a particularly high weight and making it difficult to transport between systems. The EZ Slide Mini Tray naturally possesses extensive features for the protection of drives and the upper side cover offers additional protection when transporting drives. The trays can hold 5mm, 7mm or 9.5mm high drives and thus enable universal compatibility and hot swap for 2.5" SAS/SATA drives.

Multi-functional design
The compact design makes the MB608SP-B perfect for small form factor (SFF) systems or systems that require multiple drives in limited space. The compact design, in conjunction with the usually limited number of available 5.25" bays, is a perfect combination for creating RAID 6 or RAID 10 systems. In addition, during production, it was important that the changing frame fits perfectly into industrial or military requirements profiles.

Total control over your 2.5” hard disks or SSDs
In order to get the maximum benefit from your hard disks and SSDs, LEDs are installed in the front of each tray to display individual status information at any time. Our Active Power Technology (APT) allows each LED and fan to be active only when drives are actually installed in the enclosure.

A single 40mm fan is placed on the rear side and offers an even air flow throughout the housing. In addition, the three-stage fan control allows a flexible use for your applications - from maximum power up to particularly quiet operation.

Never forget which drives belong in which bay. With our individual DID-plugs you always have an overview of where which tray in your RAID-network has its place. The ID-plugs can be removed and changed easily, or they can also be completely omitted.

The ToughArmor MB608SP-B supports both 7-pin SATA data cable and 15-pin SATA power cable with retaining clips, so that you do not have to worry about accidental disconnection through loose cables. Once the cables are connected, they remain in place.
