flexiDOCK MB511SPO-B
2.5" SATA SSD / HDD Docking for Slim ODD Bay (12.7mm)

Introducing ICY DOCK flexiDOCK MB511SPO-B, the world's first tray-less 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD docking station enclosure for the 12.7mm Slim Optical Disk Drive (CD/DVD/Blu-Ray) bay available in desktop computers. flexiDOCK makes it easy to expand the capabilities of your system with a second storage device, allowing you to effortlessly install and remove 5-9.5mm height 2.5" HDDs and SSDs without the hassle of drive trays or screws. We designed the flexiDOCK to give you the hot-swappable convenience of a docking station, with the durability and security of a fully enclosed mobile rack.

The flexiDOCK MB511SPO-B uses a rugged full-metal enclosure and high-quality SATA connector, ensuring that your drives are protected through at least 10,000 drive insertion/removal cycles. The device has ventilation holes on the top and bottom for additional heat dissipation, keeping your drives cool under the heaviest of loads. A power switch allows users to shut down their drive without needing to eject it, saving power when the drive is not inserted. flexiDOCK MB511SPO-B is a perfect solution for computer systems with limited storage bays, such as All-In-One PCs, compact SMB PCs, and HTPCs.

Designed for Slim ODD Bay (12.7mm Height)

ICY DOCK's flexiDOCK MB511SPO-B installs into any existing 12.7mm Slim Optical Disk Drive Bay, converting the legacy 12.7mm optical drive into a removable 2.5" hard drive enclosure. The MB511SPO-B has the exact same dimensions, screw hole locations, and port locations as the Slim Optical Disk Drive and comes with all necessary screws for installation.

With the flexiDOCK MB511SPO-B, you can consolidate your disk-based media onto an HDD or SSD, which have capacities nearly 500 times greater than a standard DVD.

Easy Hot Swap Docking

The flexiDOCK MB511SPO-B is designed to improve your workflow in any application that requires often drive swapping. Thanks to the unique drive docking design, simply insert the bare hard drive or solid-state drive into the flexiDOCK and start your tasks. flexiDOCK is completely tray-less and offers tool-less drive installation to save the time it takes to screw drives in and out of drive trays, which ultimately lowering the labor costs in the event of a drive failure.

Once a drive is inserted into flexiDOCK, an ejection button pops out and locks the drive in place to prevents accidental or unwanted drive ejection. To eject the drive, slide the ejection button to the left and then push inward to engage the drive release mechanism.

Whether you're performing scheduled backups or working on a media editing project that spans multiple SSDs, flexiDOCK makes it easy to swap your 5-9.5mm height 2.5" SSDs & HDDs without needing to restart your computer. This means drive changes happen in seconds, not minutes, getting you back to work quicker without interrupting your workflow.

Packed with Features

ICY DOCK's flexiDOCK MB511SPO-B surrounds your drive in a ruggedized metal housing with ample ventilation holes, designed to improve protection and maximize airflow, keeping drives running cool under the heaviest loads.

To further prevent high-temperatures, MB511SPO-B includes a dust-cover that can be used when no drive is installed. This prevents dust from blocking airways and inhibiting cooling performance.

When a drive is installed, the eagle-hook mechanism is inserted into the drive's screw hole, locking it into place and preventing it from falling out on systems prone to movement and vibration, such as portable desktop PCs and in-vehicle systems.

flexiDOCK's ejection button features a key locking mechanism which locks the drive in place, protecting against accidental drive ejection and improving security in sensitive data environments.

When you're done using your drive, flexiDOCK has its own power switch that lets you cut access to your drive at any time, without having to eject the drive. Shutting the drive off when not in use prevents additional wear from the system reading and writing to the drive.

An LED indicator gives you status updates at a glance, letting you know when your drive is in use and when it is safe to remove.
