ICY DOCK MB982SPR-2S SATA HDD & SSD Raid Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell June 19, 2011 Component, Featured Announcement

Rating: 8.0.

Today we are going to look at a very impressively designed drive caddy which can convert both 2.5 inch mechanical and solid state drives into RAID arrays. It is also built to withstand serious abuse and to fit inside a standard 3.5 inch drive bay. If you have several older drives gathering dust then this might just be the performance boost you need for a new system build.

The Icy Dock MB982SPR-2S certainly isn't a very catchy name, but on paper it looks to be a very versatile unit with Raid 0, Raid 1 and BIG support.

Unlike many units we have seen from the Far East in recent months, it is built from high quality metal so it won't be something you have to hide in shame within your new rig.

Product Features

  • Full Metal and Heavy Duty with Easy Access to Drives
  • Converts your 2 x 2.5” SATA HDD or SSD to a 3.5” SATA HDD, for 3.5” SATA Drive Bay and Backplane usage.
  • Windows and Mac Software for RAID Set Up
  • Built in RAID featuring RAID 0, RAID 1, BIG and Port Multiplier
  • Universal Mounting Holes For Most Common PC Cases
  • Compatible with most 3.5” HDD Backplanes and Hot Swap Devices
  • Compatible With Mac Pro
  • Perfect For Power Users, System Integrators and IT Professionals

While Nintendo has not fully detailed the hardware inside of the Switch 2, we are finally starting to get details on the chip powering the system. According to Digital Foundry, the Switch 2 utilises a custom Nvidia T329 processor, which means it uses graphics technology similar to what we can find in RTX 30 series GPUs.

    very ‘apple’ like in appearance aint it?

    Nice idea. ive a few 2.5 inch drives in a drawer here, but they aren’t worth putting in this, one is an old 120gb 5,400 rpm thing and the other is even worse 🙂
