TAIPEI, TAIWAN — Icy Dock is a privately held company that belongs to Cremax Tech. Co., with more than 10 years being devoted in design, manufacturing, branding and distribution of storage enclosure peripherals. It unveiled FLEX-FIT MB343SP 3.5” to 5.25” front bay adapter.
Introducing the Icy Dock FLEX-FIT MB343SP 3.5” to 5.25”adapter, which utilizes a single 5.25” bay and converts it into 2 x 2.5” HDD/SSD slots and a 3.5” device or hard drive bay that is designed for tool-less drive installation and XCOPY deployment that is stable, adaptable, and multifunctional.
The FLEX-FIT Trio MB343SP pushes the envelope with its unique features and brilliant engineering. One of the most unique features of the FLEX-FIT MB343SP is the FLEX-FIT system, which provides users a higher level of flexibility for a 5.25” adapter that only an Icy Dock product can deliver, and can store a 3.5” device or hard drive and an additional 2 x 2.5” HDD/SSD, IDE or SATA hard drives from 7mm to 9.5mm height.
It’s both space efficient and cost effective, no need to buy multiple brackets. Because of its screw-less drive installation design, the device drive installation process is very easy simply slide in your 3.5” device until you heard a clicking sound, which means the Smart-Tip locks the 3.5” device into place.
For extra security, the optional side screws can be added. For the 2.5” HDD/SSD slots, it takes any 2.5” SSD or hard drive without using any tools or screws, and the built-in self adjusting tab locks in 7mm-9.5mm 2.5” drives in place.
The 3.5” bay can also take any standard 3.5” hard drive or SSD bracket, just slide in 3.5” HDD or bracket and secure the drive with the side screw holes. Additionally, if decided to install a 3.5” hard drive or device that doesn’t have a front Input/output interface, it has the rear plate snapped off so that can insert it in the front panel slot.
Since the 3.5” bay takes both 3.5” hard drive and 3.5” device, there are many build options to choose from. For example, adding the ToughArmor MB992SK-B has two internal 2.5” slots with two external hot-swap 2.5” bays. Adding the EZ-Fit Lite MB290SP-B has four total 2.5” slots. The FLEX-FIT is also compatible with USB 3.0 hubs, multimedia card readers and fan speed controllers in 3.5” form factor.
