ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB994SP-4S
4-bay cage · SATA 6Gb/s / SAS 24Gb/s (single channel) · 2.5in drives
Model MB994SP-4S
Should you buy the ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB994SP-4S?
Four drives in one 5.25in bay is a good trade for a tower that'll never see an optical drive again. It's hot-swap, and swapping a failed disk is a two-minute job from the front.
You'll need 2 × Molex leads from the PSU to run it. Count your SATA ports first, because it needs four of them, and an HBA card sorts that out if you're short.
