Icy Docks Ultra-Dense MB996SP-6SB RAID Cage Is Simply Impressive


Icy Dock is launching yet another impressive and useful storage bay that allows the user to mount no less than six 2.5” laptop HDDs inside it. The interesting part is that the whole thing then fits perfectly into any 5.25” standard PC and server bay.

Therefore, the new rack from Icy Dock is perfect for compact RAID 1 backup units or fast RAID 0 boot drives although we believe that 6 HDDs in a RAID 0 configuration would be overkill and simply asking for data loss.

Many users who have multiple HDDs inside don’t have room for the desired SSD, never mind six of them in RAID 0.

5.25” bays are not that much in fashion anymore when it comes to SSF systems, but if you have one, the Icy Dock ultra-dense MB996SP-6SB RAID cage is a great opportunity.

The whole device has a metallic built, which makes it sturdy and endows it with good passive cooling, although a 40-millimeter fan is also present on the back because cramming six HDDs in such a small volume will certainly create some hot spots.

Even SSDs would be safer with the fan on, when you pack six of them in such an enclosure.

There are SFF cases that feature two such 5.25”m bays and there you can build a 16-HDD server in a small form factor case.
