Rugged mobile rack for 3.5" bay

The ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB491SKL-1B fits a single 2.5" SAS or SATA drive from 5 mm to 15 mm height into a standard external 3.5" bay. A removable caddy enables hot-swap maintenance without tools. The heavy-duty metal chassis and tray are MIL-STD-810G certified for shock and vibration resistance. An IPX5-rated front cover protects the drive bay against water jets from any direction.

Dual lock security and vibration control

A barrel key lock and a thumb screw lock combine to prevent unauthorised removal and to secure the caddy against physical shock. Anti-Vibration Technology isolates the drive from chassis resonance for a safer mechanical environment. Active Power Technology illuminates the status LED only when a drive is installed, reducing unnecessary light output. The single-channel interface supports SATA 6 Gbps or SAS 12 Gbps signalling.

Sustained operation in harsh environments

The all-metal construction dissipates drive heat through the chassis walls during continuous read and write cycles. IPX5 sealing maintains integrity when the system is exposed to spray or wash-down conditions. Hot-swap capability allows a failed drive to be replaced while the host remains powered, preserving uptime for mission-critical workloads. The design serves military, vehicular, maritime, autonomous and aviation deployments where moisture and vibration are constant.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum drive height this caddy accepts?

The tray fits 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives from 5 mm up to 15 mm thick.

How loud or hot does the unit get during continuous operation?

The all-metal chassis and anti-vibration design passively dissipate heat without a fan, so it runs silently and stays cool under sustained load.

Which host interface must my system provide for this rack to work?

A single SAS 12 Gbps or SATA 6 Gbps backplane connector is required behind the 3.5-inch bay.
