Enterprise 2.5" to 3.5" SATA Converter

The ICY DOCK MB982SP-1S converts a single 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD into a standard 3.5" drive bay form factor. It accepts drives from 7 mm up to 15 mm in height and maintains full SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rates without speed reduction. The all-metal chassis includes airflow vents for heat dissipation and an anti-vibration design. Tool-less installation allows the drive to be mounted or removed quickly.

Builders with 2.5" SATA drives and 3.5" bays

This converter suits anyone fitting a 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD into a desktop, server or workstation that only offers 3.5" SATA bays. It also supports SAS drives through the same SATA interface. Users who need to install multiple drives in one bay or who require a hot-swap tray with a locking door should look at a different solution.

15 mm maximum drive height

The tray accommodates 2.5" SATA drives up to 15 mm thick, covering most enterprise and consumer SSDs as well as standard laptop hard drives. Drives exceeding this height will not fit inside the enclosure.

Questions about this item

Does the MB982SP-1S need any rails or screws to fit a standard 3.5" SATA bay?

The converter slides directly into any 3.5" SATA drive bay; its full-metal frame aligns with the bay screw holes so the chassis screws hold it without extra rails.

Will a 2.5" SATA drive running at 1.5 Gb/s or 3 Gb/s work reliably in this 6 Gb/s converter?

The tray passes through SATA I, II and III signals unchanged, so a 1.5 or 3 Gb/s drive operates at its native speed with no bottleneck.

After installing the drive, how can I confirm the converter is not limiting the 6 Gb/s link?

Check the negotiated link speed in your BIOS or OS disk utility; it should report 6 Gb/s when a 6 Gb/s drive is fitted, proving the converter adds no reduction.
