Product information

Description

The Icy Dock ToughArmor MB998IP-B is a full-metal 5.25" drive bay panel that holds up to eight 2.5" SAS/SATA hot-swappable drives with 5–7 mm height in a single external bay. Designed for dense storage installations, it uses dual Mini‑SAS HD (SFF‑8643) connectors for simplified cabling and improved bandwidth, and features a ventilated metal enclosure with dual user‑controllable 40 mm cooling fans for sustained thermal performance.

Advantages

The MB998IP-B provides high storage density by fitting eight 2.5" drives into one 5.25" bay while maintaining enterprise-grade durability thanks to its rugged full‑metal construction. Dual Mini‑SAS HD ports reduce cable clutter and support advanced RAID configurations controlled by a single RAID card. Built-in features such as numbered drive ID labels, LED status indicators with Active Power Technology, EZ Slide Nano trays with an Eagle‑hook lock and anti‑vibration technology improve drive management, security, and longevity.

Suitable for

  • Workstations and compact servers requiring high IOPS and low latency storage
  • RAID arrays (for example RAID 6 or RAID 10) and enterprise storage systems
  • HPC, VDI, cloud services, video processing, and database servers
  • Home servers and gaming rigs that need dense 2.5" drive configurations

Key specifications

  • Form factor: 1 x external 5.25" bay (holds 8 x 2.5" drives)
  • Supported drive heights: 5–7 mm (2.5" SAS / SATA SSD or HDD)
  • Host interface: 2 x Mini‑SAS HD (SFF‑8643)
  • Cooling: 2 x 40 mm user‑controllable fans (3‑mode: high / low / off)
  • Material and color: metal enclosure, black
  • Dimensions (from product data): 146 mm (W) x 142 mm (D) x 41.3 mm (H)
  • Weight: 0.8754 kg
  • Features: EZ Slide Nano trays, Eagle‑hook lock, LED drive indicators, Active Power Technology, AVT and EMI grounding

How to use

Install the MB998IP-B into a standard external 5.25" bay in your chassis and connect the two Mini‑SAS HD cables from your RAID controller or SAS expander to the rear connectors. Insert 5–7 mm 2.5" SAS/SATA drives into the EZ Slide Nano trays and secure them with the Eagle‑hook lock. Connect the 15‑pin SATA power or compatible power cable with locking latch. Configure your RAID controller or host system as required; the unit supports multi‑drive RAID arrays controlled by a single controller. Use the numbered drive ID labels to maintain drive order when building arrays.

Usage recommendations

For optimal reliability, ensure adequate chassis airflow and set the dual 40 mm fans to the appropriate mode (high for heavy workloads, low or off for quieter operation when thermal conditions allow). Use Mini‑SAS HD connections to minimize cable length and clutter, and employ RAID and backup strategies suitable for your workload to protect data.
