Compact dual-drive enclosure

The ICY DOCK MB742SPB fits two 2.5 inch SATA or SAS solid-state drives or hard drives into a single external 3.5 inch bay. Tool-less caddies with a single-piece latch hold 5 mm, 7 mm and 9.5 mm drives securely without screws. Rugged metal housing and all-around ventilation keep drives cool under sustained workloads.

Ideal for space-constrained builds

System integrators working with small-form-factor PCs, embedded boxes, in-vehicle computers or home servers can add redundant or mirrored storage without sacrificing a 5.25 inch bay. Builders who need more than two drives or who lack a free external 3.5 inch opening should consider a larger enclosure.

9.5 mm maximum drive height

Only 2.5 inch drives 9.5 mm thick or thinner are supported by the ExpressTray caddies. Verify each drive’s z-height before purchase to ensure proper fit and latch engagement.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2.5" version or a different capacity for my 3.5" bay?

This unit is built for two 2.5" drives up to 9.5 mm tall and fits a single external 3.5" bay, so choose it when you need dual SATA or SAS storage in that slot.

What does the dual-drive layout mean once installed in a real machine?

You gain two independent SATA or SAS drives in one floppy bay, ready for RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD configurations with a compatible controller.

The spec lists SATA I/II/III and SAS — what speed does that actually cap at?

SATA III tops out at 6 Gb/s per drive, while SAS speed depends on the host controller; the backplane itself does not limit either interface.
