The ICY Dock MB080U3S enclosure is shipped in a dark box with a large product picture highlighting the blue fan and the unusual shape of the product.
The back of the box lists all the specifications and indicates that the hard drives can be installed into the enclosure without any tools.
Inside we find a User Manual, 3 boxes, and two feet to hold the product upright.
Inside the three boxes are cables for connections via USB 3.0 and eSATA. ICY DOCK also include a power adapter.
Interesting product but I wonder where the market is. The only market I see for 3.5″ enclosures is for reusing old drives you’ve replaced with bigger ones, and I’m not going to spend a lot of money on that.
Simply put this review is a complete waste of time, and reads like a brochure.
You reviewed a Hard Drive enclosure purposely designed for cooling, and didn’t even put a Hard Drive inside it!
You put in an SSD (which as everyone knows generate allot less heat in use).
So your whole review tests the speed capabilities of this units I/O board.
Simply put who cares about the throughput on an enclosure such as this, it’s whole purpose is to cool large capacity Hard Drives, and with the current generation of HDD’s experiencing overheat problems in standard enclosures, it might be nice to see a thermal graph / diagram of this units performance over time.
This review is a perfect example of a lazy and stupid product testing, that anyone on any computer could do in there sleep.
