    The flexiDOCK MB014SP-B is the All-new Quad Bay 2.5" SATA/SAS HDD/SSD Trayless Enclosure, with an improved drive ejection process and redesigned power buttons. This enclosure simplifies the process of managing drives by bringing the drives to the frontal 5.25" optical drive bay of the computer system.

  • Bare Drive Installation/Removal with Hot-Swap Support
    This unique hard drive docking style removable enclosure allows users to swap out drives quickly and easily without the hassle of drive trays/caddies. Media professionals or computer lab technicians can use this feature to gain access to their media/data, especially when dealing with an endless number of drives. Gamers with their ever-expanding amount of games to store can add additional storage to their system without opening the computer up. System builders managing multiple operating systems can enhance their drives' security with more direct physical control of power to the drives. Options in managing drives allow users to use the drives as they see fit.
  • Enhanced Individual Drive Power Buttons
    The four drive bays feature a solid individual power button to allow each drive to shut off to manage the drive's operating status instantly. Pairing with the enhanced and refined power buttons enables ease of usage across various applications such as multi-OS booting, loading authorized data. Shut off the drive when not using it to prevent a hacker/virus attack and reduce power and drive usage.
  • Improved Ejection Button
    The trayless and doorless design allows users to swap out HDDs/SSDs quickly and easily within seconds. Simply slide in the drive and perform your task. Once the drive is inserted, the ejection button will then protrude out. Drive ejection is just as simple with a push on the improved ejection button and mechanism, requiring less force than before to push and eject the drives.
  • Packed with Features
    When a drive is fully inserted in the enclosure, the LED drive activity built-in the power button will begin to light up and indicate the drive is powered and accessed. To reduce unnecessary power consumption, the LEDs will automatically shut off when no drives are installed. With the included 40mm cooling fan, the heat produced by four drives is further dispersed throughout the intelligently placed ventilation holes throughout the entire enclosure. The fan speed can be easily adjusted with the frontal fan speed control or completely shut off with the fan on/off jumper depending on the working environment.The FlexiDOCK MB014SP-B has an external metal shell to protect sensitive hard drives from external forces, providing a longer life span for your drives.

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.
