2.5" SAS/SATA to 3.5" bay enclosure

The ICY DOCK MB741SP-B adapts a single 2.5" SAS or SATA drive for installation in an external 3.5" floppy bay. A rugged metal chassis and ABS caddy protect the drive from shock and vibration. Multi-Flow ventilation provides passive cooling for sustained operation. Hot-swap support lets users add or remove drives without restarting the system.

Suits single-drive hot-swap needs

Builders who need tool-less, single-drive hot-swap access in a 3.5" front bay will benefit from the removable caddy and screw-less grip mechanism. Systems without an external 3.5" bay, or users requiring multiple drives in one device, should consider alternative enclosures.

SATA 7-pin host interface

The enclosure connects to the host via a single SATA 7-pin interface, limiting use to SAS or SATA drives with a compatible controller. Drives up to 15 mm height are supported, including 5 mm, 7 mm, 9.5 mm and 12.5 mm form factors.

Questions about this item

What type of drive interface does the MB741SP-B require on the host side?

The MB741SP-B connects to the host via a single SATA 7-pin interface, so the motherboard or controller must provide a standard SATA port.

Will a 15 mm tall 2.5" drive fit inside the ExpressCage caddy?

Yes, the caddy supports 2.5" drives up to 15 mm in height, covering 5 mm, 7 mm, 9.5 mm, 12.5 mm and 15 mm form factors.

How can I confirm the hot-swap function is working after installation?

Insert or remove a drive while the system is running; the operating system should detect the change immediately without requiring a reboot.
