Overview

The first professional 2.5" SSD / HDD designed for 5.25" optical drive bays


The ICY DOCK FlexiDOCK MB524SP-B is the first professional 2.5" SSD / HDD docking station designed for 5.25" optical drive bays. With the FlexiDOCK MB524SP-B, you can easily turn your unused bay into a hot-swappable quad drive bay disk slot that supports any 2.5" SSD/HDD ranging from 5mm to 9.5mm in height. All drive slots fully support 6Gbs/s SATA speed and "hot-swap" compatibility. Unlike a standard external hard drive dock that renders drives out of the device, the FlexiDOCK uses an intelligent drive ejection mechanism that allows drives to be fully inserted into the dock for better system appearance and drive protection. The easy to use eject button allows for gentle disc ejection and has an LED indicator for disc activity. The metal design and air ventilation allow for efficient heat dissipation for the hard drives within the docking station.

The FlexiDOCK MB524SP-B is the ideal solution for anyone who needs fast access to their data from multiple laptops, such as media professionals who put their footage on SSDs or IT professionals who copy crucial data to 2.5" hard drives on a daily basis.


The first professional docking station designed for 5.25" bays



Providing quick hot-swap capability of an external hard drive dock into a desktop computer, the ICY DOCK FlexiDOCK MB524SP-B turns your 5.25" optical drive bay into a hot-swap docking drive. Installation is easy, just mount FlexiDOCK to the 5.25" bay, connect the SATA connectors to the device and you are ready to go. The FlexiDOCK MB524SP-B supports up to 4x SAS / SATA SSD / HDD 2.5" ranging from 5mm to 9.5mm for drive height.


DOCK for hot removal


FlexiDOCK is specially designed for functions where hot swapping for disk is often required. For example: daily data backup to 2.5" hard disks, 4K movie editing directly to 2.5" SSD, cloning data from hard disk to SSD or hot swapping of OS disks. Thanks to the unique design of the docking drive, users can simply insert disks into the FlexiDOCK and begin their tasks. This effortless hot swapping capability makes the MB524SP-B perfect for professionals who swap disks on a daily basis.


Designed for difference



We know how much of a pain it is to screw an SSD/HDD into a drawer and how much time it can cost you when you do a lot of hot swapping with your drives. To make the process work more efficiently,ICY DOCK removed the door that covers the FlexiDOCK enclosure so that the SSD/HDD can be removed/inserted more quickly. In order to fully protect the drives they have developed a smart ejection mechanism, which allows the drives to be fully inserted into the device, meaning that the drives do not protrude and remain protected inside the chassis, this will also reduce the risk of physical damage to the drives and provide a superior looking system.

When a disc is inserted into the ICY DOCK FlexiDOCK, the eject button will pop out while the blue disc activity LED will light up on the button. To eject the discs from the FlexiDOCK, simply press the eject button and the intelligent mechanism will gently eject the disc making it an easy recovery process.

    Product info

    8/10 because of lack of information on the product before purchase!
    I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a SAS card.
