Removable Design with Exceptional Build Quality
The EZ Slide Micro tray supports hot-swap and makes maintenance completely hassle free in the event of a hard drive failure. With a simple swap of the hard drive, your overall down time is greatly reduced which is especially useful for time sensitive projects and applications. The tray is designed to accommodate a 7 to 9.5mm height hard drive or SSD, creating a 2.5″ hot swap bay for any standard 2.5″ SATA/SAS drive.

Very solid, all metal construction. Definitely a tougher build than other removable-rack drive decks.

I am very pleased with the ease of use and performance of this product. The only thing that would make it better is that if it were trayless, but I knew what it was when I bought and am extremely pleased with it.

This is a great product if you have limited space and power. Use 1- 5.25 Drive Bay and then mount up to 2 – 2.5mm drives and one slimline (Laptop) dvd/blueray Drive in unit. I’ll be getting another 🙂 🙂 If the screws don’t fit then use other screws. Extra power connectors on the back if you don’t have the right one coming from your power supply.

The Screw holes for used to mount a Slim Dvd Burner, don’t line up with the LG Burner I purchased here at all. what are the 2 extra SATA connectors for??

I am about to install this cage onto my new PC build, but just by touching around the case it is a solid cage! I love the fact that it is a metal case. Very easy to use. I would buy it again in the future! #sweepstakes

I was looking to build a seven SSD RAID in my HP z820 for video playback and found this 8 bay Icy Dock on B&H. I thought they only built these for 6 drives, but was psyched to find one cage to hold all of my drives. This is a sturdy metal case that holds the eight drives neatly and secure while allowing for easy access at the push of a button. The dual fans on the back provide cooling for the drives. I highly recommend this storage solution for anyone looking to mount multiple ssds

Pros: Self contained. Doesn’t use up resources Cons: Longer than a standard 3.5 drive The drives stay loose on the trays. It looks as though the holes for the drives are slightly too wide for the screws provided. I had same issue with different screws. Product works fine as is. Other Thoughts: I’ve been installing these on our manufacturing equipment on their CPCI controllers. Only wish ICYDOCK offered a tray for CPCI setups. I’ve been making my own at a local maker space. Of the 7 I’ve installed so far, I’ve only had one bad unit. I’ll be sending it back for warranty. Still a great solution for our needs. I would like to see some indication, either via lights or the monitoring software, that the unit has finished building the new RAID array. To avoid loosing any data, I first install the SSD and power up the unit. Give it 5min to build the array. Then take out the SSDs and clone the original drives. The manual is not very specific about this.
