Capacity & fit

The ICY DOCK MB998SP-B converts a single 5.25" bay into eight 2.5" SATA or SAS drive slots. It targets builders who need dense, hot-swappable storage in servers, workstations or industrial chassis.

Before ordering

Verify your chassis has a free 5.25" half-height bay and that the front panel can be removed or cut for tray access. Confirm the motherboard or controller provides eight SATA ports and that your drives are 7 mm thick.

Build integration

The all-metal cage mounts with standard 5.25" screws and draws power from a single 4-pin Molex connector. Dual 40 mm fans and side vents cool the stack, while EZ Slide Nano trays let you swap drives without tools or downtime.

Questions about this item

Does the MB998SP-B include the eight drive trays and mounting hardware, or must they be purchased separately?

The unit ships with eight EZ Slide Nano trays and all screws needed to secure it in a single 5.25" bay; drives are not included.

Should I choose a different ToughArmor model if my drives are taller than 7 mm?

This model accepts only 7 mm 2.5" SATA or SAS drives; thicker drives will not fit in the trays.

What does the 6 Gb/s transfer rate mean for an eight-drive RAID array?

Each bay connects through its own SATA port at up to 6 Gb/s, so total throughput depends on the RAID controller and the drives installed.
