## Long description

The Icy Dock ToughArmor MB998SK-B is a 5.25" external drive bay panel that holds up to eight 2.5" SATA drives or SSDs (5–7mm height) in a single bay. Constructed from full metal for durability, the unit includes hot‑swappable EZ Slide Nano trays, dual 40mm cooling fans, individual drive LEDs and locking trays to secure drives during operation. Its compact design and commercial-grade build make it suitable for workstations, compact servers, medical, military and industrial systems.
Advantages
The MB998SK-B maximizes storage density by fitting eight 2.5" SATA drives into one standard 5.25" bay while maintaining hot‑swap capability through EZ Slide Nano trays. Full metal construction provides improved heat dissipation, EMI grounding and anti‑vibration protection to increase drive reliability. Individual tray locks and drive status LEDs add physical security and quick status monitoring. Dual 40mm fans and ventilated front and side openings ensure effective airflow for sustained performance.
Suitable for
High‑density storage in workstations and compact servers
RAID configurations (e.g., RAID 0/1/5/10 or JBOD)
Industrial, medical and military systems requiring robust hardware
Home servers, HTPCs and gaming rigs needing multiple 2.5" drives or SSDs

How to use
Install the MB998SK-B into a standard 5.25" external bay following your system manufacturer’s mounting procedure. Insert each 2.5" SATA drive or SSD into an EZ Slide Nano tray and slide the tray into the corresponding slot until it locks. Connect SATA data and SATA power cables with locking latches to the back of the enclosure. The unit’s LEDs and fans are powered when drives are inserted; to reduce fan speed and noise, disconnect the internal 3‑pin fan connector from the fan header and use the included fan speed reduction cable as directed by the manufacturer.
Usage recommendations
The MB998SK-B is intended for 5–7mm 2.5" SATA drives and SSDs only; do not attempt to fit thicker drives. For best results, use matching drive types and regular backups when configuring RAID arrays. Ensure adequate chassis airflow and secure the tray locks in environments that require physical security.
