The flexiDOCK MB830SP-B is a professional removable HDD docking enclosure that offers the ability to hot-swap up to 3 x 3.5-inch SAS and SATA hard drives using only two 5.25-inch external drive bays. The 100% tool-less and tray-less design means drive installation and removal can be done by hand in seconds, saving valuable time for home users, computer forensic specialists, computer repair technicians, HDD duplicators, and media workstation editors. The strong full-metal body ensures a long product life, better heat dissipation, and keeps your sensitive drives protected at all times. To prevent overheating damage in active environments, the large user-adjustable cooling fan works together with the well-ventilated metal chassis to provide ample cooling performance. |

Made for Hot-Swap
|
Adding or removing drives from a computer system can be a time-consuming process, requiring the opening of the computer case and the use of tools, as well as the plugging in and unplugging of cables. If you often swap drives, however, flexiDOCK may be a better solution for you. The spring-loaded door on flexiDOCK allows you to simply press bare hard drives in, without the need for tools, screws, trays, or any additional work. Additionally, the wide front bezel on flexiDOCK allows you to easily remove drives by hand, in just a matter of seconds. This simple drive removal system also allows drives to sit flush with the front panel of the computer, reducing clutter and protecting your sensitive drives from environmental hazards. |

FlexiDOCK's full-metal enclosure protects your hard drives from external forces, providing a longer life span for your drives. FlexiDOCK's innovative design supports both 3.5" and 2.5" form factors, giving you the option to install either size of hard drive. |

Customizable Cooling Options
|
|
For additional cooling performance, flexiDOCK uses a large 80mm cooling fan with easy access fan speed control, allowing you to pick the best cooling profile for your application. Use a low setting for quiet operation in a home computer or NAS device. Turn the fan up to high for intensive applications, to keep drives running at their optimal safe temperatures. |

Packed with Features To ensure that dust and debris does not accumulate and clog internal connectors which could lead to damage, each bay is equipped with a spring-loaded dust cover. Installing a drive is simple, just press the drive in and the dust cover will tuck away into the enclosure.
|
|
|
|
The drive door not only prevents dust from entering, but it also works as a drive guiding mechanism. When inserting the drive, it pushes the door inward to become paralleled with the metal side panel. This provides better drive stability and compatibility for different drive heights, and absorbs vibration caused by mechanical hard disk drives. |
|
|
|
There is an LED drive indicator light in each bay to notify you of any drive activity. The soft blue LED is easy to see but not too bright for dark environments. |
|
|
The flexiDOCK MB830SP-B supports SATA data and power cables with locking latch designs. It comes with three locking latch SATA data cables. Once these cables are connected, they will lock into place and stay there, protecting against accidental disconnection. |
|
Only two power cables are needed to power all three drives, which reduces cable clutter. This not only improves aesthetics, but also improves airflow within your computer, further reducing temperatures of critical components. |

Optional 2.5" to 3.5" SSD/HDD Converter
|
|
|
If you would like to use 2.5" drives with this device, the optional EZConvert MB882SP-1S-3B is an unique converter that is able to transform your 2.5" drive into a 3.5" HDD form factor within seconds without any tools.
