Drive-bay adapter for 3.5-inch SAS and SATA drives

The LORDWORLD TurboSwap MB171SP-1B fits a single 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drive into a standard external 5.25-inch bay. A SAS host controller is required when a SAS drive is used. It is built for users who need to insert or remove bare drives quickly without opening the case.

Tray-less mechanism with locking cable support

The tray-less design lets a drive slide straight into the bay and lock in place without tools or screws. Standard SATA data and power cables with locking latches are supported, so connections stay secure during transport or vibration. Builders who need a second simultaneous drive or a 2.5-inch form factor cannot use this single-slot enclosure.

Passive cooling with no added power draw

The enclosure has no fan or active electronics, so it adds zero noise and draws no power beyond the drive itself. Heat dissipates through the metal shell into the chassis airflow. Users who require hardware RAID, port multiplication or SAS expander functions will not find those features here.

Questions about this item

Does the TurboSwap MB171SP-1B support full SATA 3.0 6Gbps and SAS 3.0 12Gbps speeds?

Yes, the adapter handles SATA 3.0 at 6Gbps and SAS 3.0 at 12Gbps on a single SAS channel, so the drive runs at its native interface limit.

What bay size and drive size does the MB171SP-1B fit?

It mounts in a standard external 5.25" bay and accepts one 3.5" SAS or SATA hard drive.

How is the drive installed and what step is often missed?

Slide the bare drive straight into the tray-less slot until the SATA data and power connectors with locking latches click; the latch click is the step people skip, leaving the drive loose.
