Single 2.5 drive in slim ODD bay

The ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB411SKO-B is a full-metal mobile rack that installs one 2.5-inch SATA or SAS solid-state drive or hard drive into a 12.7 mm slim optical drive bay. It accepts drives from 5 mm to 9.5 mm thick and connects through a standard SATA 7-pin data cable plus a floppy 4-pin power connector.

Suited for SATA or SAS upgrades in compatible bays

This rack serves technicians who want to add high-speed SATA 6 Gbps or SAS 3.0 12 Gbps storage to a system with a traditional slim ODD slot and the required power header. It is not suitable for laptops or desktops that use a Slimline SATA backplane, nor for the listed Lenovo, Dell M4800, M4801, M6800 or HP M7 models.

SATA 6 Gbps or SAS 3.0 12 Gbps single-channel

The rack passes a single data channel rated for either SATA 6 Gbps or SAS 3.0 12 Gbps, so the installed drive runs at its native interface speed. The receiving SATA connector is rated for 10000 insertion cycles, and Active Power Technology lights the LED only when a drive is present.

Questions about this item

How many drive swaps can the SATA connector on the ToughArmor MB411SKO-B handle before replacement?

The receiving SATA connector is rated for up to 10,000 drive insertions, so it will support many swap cycles before any connector wear becomes a concern.

What speed limit appears first when the rack runs a SAS 3.0 12Gbps drive continuously?

The single-channel design caps sustained throughput at the SAS 3.0 12Gbps interface speed, which becomes the bottleneck before the drive itself saturates.

Does the ToughArmor MB411SKO-B add any fan noise or extra heat when installed in a slim ODD bay?

The unit has no fan and draws power through a floppy 4-pin connector, so it adds no active cooling noise and only the passive heat of the installed 2.5 drive.
