There's a lot more information about this item on the manufacturer's site: [...] I've had this product installed for about a week in a small home file-server. I decided on 2.5" drives so I could go with a smaller form-factor case and still have room for a lot of storage. So far, I'm pretty impressed with this product. It's solid and has a very high build quality. The drive cages work flawlessly and installing this was extremely simple. It takes two molex plugs for power so make sure your power supply has them as some newer ones may not. For anyone with a lot of spare external 5.25" bays, you could throw a few of these in your computer (provided you have the sata ports) for some massive storage. Take note: As the documentation states, you MUST use the provided screws to install this or risk damage to the unit. Review: Excellent Product! - I was pleasantly surprised with this product. It often seems any type of conversion bay from any vendor at any price point has poor reviews or downsides to it. This turned out to be great. I had very few issues to raise with mine and even those ones weren't a big deal. I used mine to house 4 SSDs for my rig. Seeing as my case didn't have native 2.5" bays/trays it was nice to separate all my 2.5" SSDs somewhere they fit. It is fully SATA3 (6.0Gbps) compliant. When putting it all together it felt like everything wasn't going to line up, but once I was done it did. It looked great and fit in just fine. Pros: -Nice sleek look. Metal front panels look nice and are durable. Other brands use plastic and/or look cheap and use flashy "gamer" colors. -Activity/power LEDs for each drive, although my case is usually shut so I don't see them. -Only requires 2 molex ports, others require more. With a molex splitter it was easy to power both off of 1 source. -2 Fans. They move a good bit of air too. They probably weren't even necessary for 2.5" drives but they're a welcome feature. -The molex and SATA ports are spread out nicely, and line up with their corresponding drives. I've seen others where they're tight, lined up sideways, etc., making it difficult to plug everything in and maintain cable management. Plenty of room here. Cons: -Drive trays can be difficult to open and close. My SSDs were a tight fit to slide in and out, and I felt like the SATA pins could've gotten scratched in the process. I have no intention of "hot-swapping" these drives any time soon, if ever, so these aren't an issue going forward. -Could've been a little cheaper, but this price point is the norm for this type of product with these features. ## Features - Rugged Heavy duty full metal construction with suggested applications in Medical & Military systems, Media servers, and IPCs, approved & used by Tier 1 companies. - Fits 4 x 5mm to 15mm 2.5” SATA HDD or SSD in a single external 5.25” bay for high performance RAID applications. - 2 x 4 pin power connector to reduce cable connections. - Supports SATA 6Gbps or SAS 12Gbps (single channel) - Dual 40mm cooling fans. - Industry-leading 5 years limited warranty with exceptional customer support ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0040Z924Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #245 in Enclosures | | Brand | ICY DOCK | | Built-In Media | Information Not Available | | Color | Matte Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | SATA, SAS | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 52 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 12 gigabits_per_second | | Enclosure Material | Metal, SECC | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00510914374673, 04711132868548 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 inches | | Hardware Interface | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Type Name | Drive Bay Adapter | | Item Weight | 800 g | | Manufacturer | ICY DOCK | | Material | Metal, SECC | | Memory Storage Capacity | 4 GB | | Mfr Part Number | MB994SP-4S | | Model Number | MB994SP-4S | | Supported Devices Quantity | 4 | | UPC | 510914374673 809185316186 191120073187 020762679085 172302684384 014445250333 884826001423 809385165492 637282923354 | | Warranty Description | 3 year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ICY DOCK - **Color:** Matte Black - **Hardware Interface:** SATA 6.0 Gb/s - **Hardware Platform:** PC - **Material:** Metal, SECC ## Images ![MB994SP-4S - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SbUEnN03L.jpg) ![MB994SP-4S - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Qgn38OKcL.jpg) ![MB994SP-4S - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61R90FETL1L.jpg) ![MB994SP-4S - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Nfmw5KnyL.jpg) ![MB994SP-4S - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WbU8mIFvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Model** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Icy Dock MB994SP-4S *by V***I on May 3, 2012* Since it isn't very clear in the product description, this is an Icy Dock MB994SP-4S.

I'd give this product an enthusiastic 5 stars if it didn't have a MAJOR and unnecessary design flaw: extremely noisy fans. I had just finished a high-end custom build in a Fractal Design XL R2 case when I fired the system up for the first time and IMMEDIATELY noticed the noise. At first, I assumed that it was coming from the graphics card and I was very surprised to realize that the drive bay fans were the culprit. Including the ones for the CPU and GPU, the case has 10 fans. The two in the Icy Dock drive bay create more noise than all the other fans combined, and by a LARGE MARGIN. Other reviews refer to a fan-speed switch. The drive bay (MB994SP-4S) I bought does NOT have such a switch. DO NOT buy this product unless you don't care about system noise. If you plan on using these in a dedicated server room or if you're deaf, then no problem -- go for it. Otherwise, get something else. FYI, the noise is not "white". It sounds more like a hair dryer than a typical computer fan (although not nearly as loud of course). ## Frequently Bought Together - ICY DOCK Rugged 4 x 2.5 SAS/SATA HDD/SSD Mobile Rack Enclosure for 5.25" Bay | ToughArmor MB994SP-4S - OIKWAN Internal HD Mini SAS to 4XSATA Cable,1.6ft SFF-8643 Host to 4X SATA Target Cable Compatible with Raid Controller Hard Drive - Noctua NF-A8 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (80mm, Brown) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3990344-mb994sp-4s](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3990344-mb994sp-4s) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
