Quick Link:
Q:What is the difference between the MB982SP-1S and the MB982IP-1S-1 model?
A: The difference is the MB982IP-1S-1 supports SAS and SATA hard drives, while the MB982SP-1S supports SATA hard drives only.
Q:What is the difference between MB982IP-1S-1 & MB382IP-3B?
A: The MB982IP-1S-1 is based off the MB882 series design but added SAS hard drive or SSD support and utilizes a full metal design creating a better environment for cooling, as well as giving it a rock solid construction ideal for industrial, enterprise, and military applications.
The MB382IP-3B is a new design based off the MB982IP-1S-1 but with added open air design with exceptional cooling.
Q:Will this converter allow me to fit my SSD or 2.5" HDD into a 3.5" bay?
A: The MB982IP-1S-1 is a 2.5" to 3.5" hard drive converter. It will fit any standard 2.5" SATA or SAS hard drive or SSD into any standard 3.5" hard drive bay.
Q:Will using this converter affect performance in any way?
A: This converter will not affect performance in any way because the device interface is essentially a bypass. It will be like the hard drive is directly connected to the motherboard.
Q: Does the MB982IP-1S-1 support Samsung 840 series SSDs?
A: Yes, this converter will support all 7-15mm 2.5" SAS or SATA hard drive or SSD (SAS host required).
Q: Does the MB982IP-1S-1 support SATA III hard drives or SSD with SATA III interface?
A: The MB982IP-1S-1 support SATA I / II / III hard drives or SSD with a SATA I / II / III interface. But it require SAS host (motherboard or controller).
Q: Does MB982IP-1S-1 support the new SATA 3.3 Power Disable feature (PWDIS)?
A:The MB982IP-1S-1 does not support the SATA 3.3 PWDIS feature. If you install the SATA HDD/SSD with PWDIS in MB982IP-1S-1, the drive will not spin, and the system won't detect the drive. See the list below for known SATA HDD/SSD with the PWDIS feature.

Note: the SAS hard drive or SSD does not use the Pin 3 of SATA power connector for PWDIS feature and compatible with MB982IP-1S-1.
While we recommend to avoid using the SATA HDD/SSD with PWDIS, you can use the methods below to disable the PWDIS feature physically if you already purchased the drive:
Method 1 – Using the Molex to SATA adapter or cable to disconnect the power to Pin 3 of the SATA power connector.
