Single-drive SATA tester

The ICY DOCK MB991U3-1SB is a USB 3.0 enclosure that lets technicians and system builders verify a single 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD up to 15 millimetres thick. Its full-metal ToughArmor construction protects the drive while the universal tray slot accepts most other ToughArmor trays for quick swaps during diagnostics.

Fits solo-drive workflows only

This unit suits anyone who needs to read, write or benchmark one SATA drive at a time through a USB 3.0 port. It does not serve workflows that demand parallel access to multiple drives or require internal slot testing.

Tray compatibility decides fit

The universal drive tray slot fits most ToughArmor trays, so existing ICY DOCK tray owners can reuse them. Buyers without compatible trays must confirm their tray model before purchase.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum drive height that fits in the MB991U3-1SB tray?

The enclosure accepts one 2.5" SATA drive up to 15 mm thick, so standard 7 mm and 9 mm SSDs as well as taller 15 mm HDDs all mount without adapters.

How do you install a drive and which step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the universal tray, secure it with the included screws, lock the tray into the full-metal chassis using the supplied key, then connect the USB 3.0 cable; the step most users forget is locking the tray before plugging in.

What part will need replacement after heavy use?

The USB 3.0 cable and the tray-lock key are the only wear items; the all-metal body and SATA connector are rated for the life of the enclosure.
