Product Details
  • flexiDOCK MB524SP-B
    flexiDOCK brings the quality and ease-of-use of a professional solution to the consumer market. With support for up to four 2.5" hard drives or SSDs, the MB524SP-B needs only a single 5.25" bay.

This is an improvement to many traditional hard drive docking stations that leave the drive sticking out and looking cluttered. The easy to press ejection button offers rapid drive ejection in a smooth, quick action. Individual power buttons for each bay allow drives to be turned on and off in an instant. The metal body with an air ventilating design works together with the adjustable 40mm fan to provide quiet operation while keeping your drives at optimal temperature.

    The flexiDOCK MB524SP-B is the perfect solution for anyone who needs quick access to data from multiple hard drives or SSDs; Media professionals editing and moving large files, data recovery specialists constantly swapping drives, and IT technicians maintaining regular backups of critical data.

  • Different by Design
    When working with multiple drives, constantly swapping between drive caddies / trays can slow your workflow to a crawl. That’s why we’ve taken trays and doors completely out of the equation with our new flexiDOCK MB524SP-B. Our new system allows drives to be inserted in seconds and sit flush with the computer's front panel, reducing clutter and protecting your drives from environmental hazards.
  • When a drive is inserted into flexiDOCK, an eject button is revealed along with a LED drive activity light. To eject your drive, simply press the eject button back in and your drive will pop out. You can also turn off each drive’s power anytime by pressing the tamper-proof power button.
  • Profession Specific
    With the new design that allows users to quickly and easily change out SSDs or drives. Video professionals and hobbyists use this feature to quickly edit their videos, when large projects call for multiple drives. Gamers enjoy the ability to easily add more SSD storage to their system, without having to take apart their computer and fumble with wires. IT professionals and computer repair technicians use this feature to quickly test multiple drives at the same time. System builders use flexiDOCK to keep different operating systems physically separate, increasing performance and security in their applications.
  • Built for the Features
    We’ve designed flexiDOCK to handle professional applications, while maintaining a consumer-friendly price point. The included 40mm cooling fan's speed is easily adjustable, with a handy fan speed control on the front of the unit. This allows you to lower the fan speed during normal operation and increase the speed under heavy use, reducing noise output and keeping drives cool when they need it.

    Individual drive power buttons can shut drives down safely, saving power and increasing security. All four drives can be powered from a single 15 pin power connector, which reduces the clutter usually caused by multiple drives. flexiDOCK also supports latching power and data cables, ensuring drives do not accidentally disconnect during operation. Hybrid of full metal chassis with strong ABS plastic internal components are built to last and provide the best protection along with a full 3-year warranty against all defects.

FAQ

Q: The mounting screws for the device seem to be too short to secure the device onto my system, what should I do?

A: For computer cases that have a thick metal sheet, the included mounting screws (M3*2.5L) may not fully secure the device. Please use longer screws (M3*4L) to secure the device or contact us at tech@icydock.com for replacement screws.


Q: My 2.5" drive is having difficulty ejecting with the device, why is that?

A: Having difficulty ejecting your 2.5” drive can be caused by a few major factors. Please be sure you are using no larger than 9.5mm drive in height. There are around 3% of 2.5" drives that may have difficulty when ejecting the drive due to different drive width dimensions from various manufacturers. If the problem persists and think your unit may be at fault, please contact tech@icydock.com, so we can resolve the issue as soon as possible.


Q: Can I replace the cooling fan attached to the device? Will doing that void the warranty?

A: The cooling fan we used has been thoroughly tested with the drive enclosure to ensure it functions properly and supports the fan speed control (for select models). Therefore, we suggest our customers keep the original fan for the best result. However, we understand the stock fan may not be suitable for all the applications, so we elected to honor the warranty when 3rd party fan is using. The warranty may void if the 3rd party fan causes electrical damage to the device, though.
