Icy Dock has changed the game yet again with the new EZConvert Pro MB982SP-1S Enterprise Full Metal 2.5” to 3.5” SATA SSD & HDD Converter. The MB982SP-1S is predicated off the incredibly popular MB882SP-1S-1B device, taking its general concept and improving it tenfold. This product is designed using the dimensions, connection locations, and mounting hole positions of a standard 3.5” SATA drive, so that it can be used in any internal hard drive bay, as well as with backplane and hot swap modules.
 
 
This EZConvert Pro SSD adapter series is made entirely of metal and thus provides a better cooling environment. At the same time, this extremely solid construction method is particularly suitable for industrial and military applications as well as for apllications in large companies. The MB982SP-1S can now be used with up to 15mm high SATA drives such as the Western Digital VelociRaptor at 10,000 RPM due to improvements over the original MB882 series converters. To allow the use of different height drives, we have integrated our SmartFit technology that keeps the drive in place - ranging from 9.5mm to 15mm drive height.
 
The MB982SP-1S utilizes a full metal design, creating a better environment for cooling, as well as giving it a rock solid construction, ideal for industrial, enterprise, and military applications. The MB982 can handle almost any type of 2.5” SATA drives, including the 2.5” SSD, Western Digital VelociRaptor 10K RPM drives and high-capacity 1TB hard drives. To allow for 12.5mm and 15mm drive heights, we have included our Smart-Fit Technology, which secures the drive in its place whether it is a thin 7mm or thick 15mm.
 
The MB982 also includes most of the features that you already expect from an Icy Dock product: an effortless installation process without any tools or screws, plenty of ventilation slots to keep any drive used running cool and efficient, and a unique and stylish design. The top, front and rear allow air to flow through, and a special vent on the bottom gives the user visual confirmation that the drive has made a secure connection.
 
 
Note: For potential enterprise applications with SAS dual channel controllers and backplanes, please see the MB982IP-1S-1.

Frequent Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the MB982SP-1S and the MB982IP-1S-1 model?
A: The difference is the MB982SP-1S supports SATA hard drive or SSD only, while the MB982IP-1S-1 supports SATA and SAS hard drive or SSD with SAS dual channel support.

Q: What is the difference between MB982SP-1S & MB382SP-3B and MB882SP-1S-1B(2B)?
A:The MB882SP-1S-1B(2B) is the first 2.5" to 3.5" hard drive or SSD converter with an overall sturdy, reliable construction with easy access to the drive perfect for system integrators and IT professionals.

The MB982SP-1S is based off the MB882 series design but utilizes a full metal design creating a better environment for cooling, as well as giving it a rock solid construction ideal for industrial, enterprise, and military applications.

The MB382SP-3B is a new design based off the MB982SP-1S but with added open air design with exceptional cooling.
 

Q: Will this converter allow me to fit my SSD or 2.5" HDD into a 3.5" bay?
A: The MB982SP-1S is a 2.5" to 3.5" hard drive converter. It will fit any standard 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD into any standard 3.5" hard drive bay.

Q: Will using this converter affect performance in any way?
A: This converter will not affect performance in any way because the device interface is essentially a bypass. It will be like the hard drive is directly connected to the motherboard.

Q: Does the MB982SP-1S support Samsung 840 series SSDs?
A: Yes, this converter will support all 7-15mm 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD.

Q: Does the MB982SP-1S support SATA III hard drives or SSD with SATA III interface?
A: The MB982SP-1S support SATA I / II / III hard drives or SSD with a SATA I / II / III interface.

Q: Does MB982SP-1S support the new SATA 3.3 Power Disable feature (PWDIS)?

A: The MB982SP-1S does not support the SATA 3.3 PWDIS feature. If you install the SATA HDD/SSD with PWDIS in MB982SP-1S, the drive will not spin, and the system won't detect the drive. See the list below for known SATA HDD/SSD with the PWDIS feature.

Note: the SAS hard drive or SSD does not use the Pin 3 of SATA power connector for PWDIS feature and compatible with MB982SP-1S.

 

While we recommend to avoid using the SATA HDD/SSD with PWDIS, you can use the methods below to disable the PWDIS feature physically if you already purchased the drive:

 

Method 1 – Using the Molex to SATA adapter or cable to disconnect the power to Pin 3 of the SATA power connector.

 

Molex to SATA Adapter   Molex to SATA Cable
Molex to SATA Adapter   Molex to SATA Cable

 

Method 2 – Placing Kapton tape on Pin 1-3 of the SATA power connector to isolate the 3.3V power, as shown below.

Product Reviews
Author: Steve

"The MB982SP-1S takes these generic adapters and provides you with unprecedented strength and durability from it's 1mm thick SECC steel body and strong construction. There's no doubt in my mind that the MB982SP-1S should be the number one choice for business, enterprise and even military applications. It's strong chassis will not only stand up to constant hot-swap, drive in, drive out use but will also take more abuse than you can likely throw at it"
