## Long description

The Icy Dock MB998SK-B is a high-density mobile rack engineered to house up to eight 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives within a single standard 5.25-inch external drive bay. Constructed from durable, heavy-duty metal, this unit is designed for demanding environments, providing a robust storage expansion solution for servers, workstations, and industrial systems. It features hot-swap functionality and an efficient cooling system to ensure optimal performance and data reliability.
Advantages
The primary advantage of this mobile rack is its exceptional storage density, allowing users to maximize limited space by fitting eight drives into a single bay. The full metal construction provides superior heat dissipation and structural integrity, meeting the rigorous standards required for medical, military, and industrial applications. Integrated Anti-Vibration Technology and EMI grounding protect sensitive data, while the individual key lock mechanism for each tray prevents accidental ejection and unauthorized access. The inclusion of dual 40mm cooling fans and ventilated openings ensures that even high-performance drives remain within safe operating temperatures.
Suitable for
High-density storage expansion for compact servers
Advanced RAID configurations including RAID 5 or RAID 10
Industrial and medical computing systems
Mobile workstations and in-vehicle PCs
Home servers and high-performance gaming rigs
When it may not be suitable
This unit is not suitable for drives exceeding 7mm in height, as it is specifically designed for slim 2.5-inch form factors. Additionally, it is not compatible with standard 3.5-inch hard drives or systems that lack an available external 5.25-inch drive bay.
Key specifications
Capacity: Up to 8 x 2.5-inch SATA/SAS drives
Drive height support: 5mm to 7mm
Material: Full metal construction
Cooling: Dual 40mm fans with speed reduction option
Security: Individual key locks for each drive tray

How to use
To install the device, slide the rack into an available 5.25-inch external bay and secure it with screws. Insert your 2.5-inch drives into the EZ Slide Nano trays, ensuring they are properly seated, and lock the trays using the provided keys. Connect the necessary SATA data and power cables to the rear of the unit. The LED indicators on the front panel will provide real-time status updates for each drive once the system is powered on.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that your computer case has an available external 5.25-inch drive bay.
Ensure your drives are within the 5mm to 7mm height specification.
Confirm your motherboard or RAID controller supports the required number of SATA/SAS connections.
Check if your power supply has sufficient SATA power connectors for eight drives.
Usage recommendations: For quieter operation in office or home environments, utilize the included fan speed reduction cable to lower the fan noise by 40%. Always ensure the key locks are engaged during operation to maintain physical security and prevent accidental drive disconnection.
