ICY DOCK MB994SP-4SB-1 4 x 2.5 SATA 6Gbps HDD SSD Mobile Rack Cage 5.25 bay hdd accessory

Four 2.5-inch SATA drives in one 5.25 bay

The ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB994SP-4SB-1 fits four 2.5-inch SATA I/II/III hard drives or SSDs into a single 5.25-inch half-height device bay. It uses a single 4-pin power connector to reduce cable clutter and supports hot-swap operation with individual status LEDs for each drive tray. The full-metal construction provides durability for demanding environments.

Builders with a spare 5.25 bay needing dense SATA

This mobile rack suits system builders who want to consolidate up to four SATA drives, including 15mm-high models, into one optical bay while keeping hot-swap access. Dual 40mm fans with a power switch allow active cooling for mechanical drives or silent running for SSDs. Buyers without a free 5.25 bay or those needing support for interfaces other than SATA should look at other solutions.

SATA 6Gbps host interface

The backplane connects to the host via four 7-pin SATA cables, delivering up to 6 Gbps per port depending on the installed drive speed. Active Power Technology powers the unit only when drives are present, reducing unnecessary energy use. This single interface specification determines compatibility with your motherboard or controller.
