The ICY Dock caddy comes in a surprisingly small box even though it is a 5.25″ device. The design of the box is quite dark, and won't really stand out on a retail store shelf.
The back of the box lists the specifications and the key feature in several languages.
ICY Dock have chosen to not use the normal cardboard packaging inside and instead opt for a thin layer of bubble wrap.
The company have included a very thin booklet, just 6 sides long, which details how to install and use this device. Luckily, it's not at all complicated, although installation will vary slightly from case to case.
After losing data on optical drives I moved to backing up on old discs on an external dock. Discs ran at around 40C in the winter and one died in early summer. I now use an Antec Caddy with 8cm Arctic fan on the base and temps are fine. Modern discs need cooling so a product with prefitted fan and a caddy for 2.5″ drives would surely be a better bet!
