EXTERNAL DRIVE ENCLOSURES / DOCKING
Discontinued

|
|
Note1: Please do NOT connect more than one drive at a time to this unit. The MB981U3-1SA is intended to be used one hard drive at a time.
|
| |
|
Note2: For most of the IDE (ATA) hard drive, the drive jumper settings should be configured to “Master” mode. If the docking fails to detect the IDE hard drive in Master mode, please try different jumper settings, i.e. Slave, CS.
|
| |
|
Note3: EZ-Dock Flex and EZ-Adapter have IDE to USB 3.0 incompatibility issue when working under Windows 8 and 10. We recommend using USB 2.0 with IDE drives for Windows 8 and 10 users.

Icy Dock is proud to introduce a brand new item to its innovative product line, the EZ-Dock Flex MB981U3-1SA 2.5”/3.5” SATA & IDE Hard Drive Docking Station with SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface. This product is packed with features and gives the term docking station a whole new meaning.
The first feature of the device is a direct connection through the top slot for 2.5” and 3.5” SATA hard disk and solid state drives, allowing a user to access their drive via SuperSpeed USB 3.0. 2.5” drives can be used on the go being powered by the USB bus, while 3.5” drives utilize a small form factor wall power supply that can be easily stowed away in a laptop bag or briefcase. The anti-dust cover on the top is divided into 2 pieces, so that if a 2.5” drive is inserted, only the smaller portion of the cover opens up, leaving the electronics inside safe from dust and debris.
The second feature of the MB981U3-1SA is the detachable adapter that releases from the bottom of the dock via 2 small lockable switches. Once the adapter is removed, IDE drives can then be used, as well as both types of SATA drives. 3.5” IDE drives connect to the labeled input, and is powered using the 4-pin power jumper cable. 2.5” IDE drives connect to the labeled input, and can be powered using only USB power. Using SATA drives with the disconnected adapter is the same as when they are directly docked through the top slot.
Other useful elements include power buttons on the dock and adapter that double as status LEDs, a easy to press, large drive eject button, and as always, a standard 3 year warranty.

"The ICY DOCK MB981U3-1SA(-1) is a solid performer that handles virtually any drive one could want. It is limited only by what it is connected to and what is connected to it. It easily meets all ICY DOCK's claims about, it has an external power source for the drives, and can be highly portable. For its performance, value, and quality, it earns the Bjorn3D Seal of Approval."
