Icy Dock Launching 2.5-Inch to 3.5-Inch SATA/SAS SSD and HDD Converter

Icy Dock launched the MB982IP-1S 2.5" to 3.5" SATA/SAS SSD & HDD Converter.

The MB982 is predicated off the MB882SP-1S-1B device, taking its general concept and improving it. This product is designed using the dimensions, connection locations, and mounting hole positions of a standard 3.5" drive, so that it can be used in any internal hard drive bay, as well as with backplane and hot swap modules.

The new converter utilizes a metal design, creating a better environment for cooling, as well as giving it a solid construction for industrial, enterprise, and military applications. Improving upon the original, the MB982 can now handle both SAS and SATA drives, including the Western Digital VelociRaptor 10K drives. To allow for 12.5mm and 15mm drive heights, the company have included SmartFit Technology, which secures the drive in its place whether it is a thin 9.5mm or thick 15mm.

The MB982 also includes most of the features already expect from an Icy Dock product: an installation process without any tools or screws, ventilation slots to keep any drive used running cool and efficient, and a stylish design. The top, front and rear allow air to flow through, and a special vent on the bottom gives the user visual confirmation that the drive has made a secure connection.
