The TurboSwap MB171SP-1B has an individual drive power button and is equipped with a heavy-duty metal door latch for the best drive protection.
Tool-less Drive Installation with Hot Swap Support

The TurboSwap is equipped with our proven tray-less technology – no screws, tools, or trays are necessary to insert or eject the drive. Simply insert the 3.5" SAS or SATA hard drive into the drive bay, close the door and ready to access the drive. When finished, open the door to eject the drive. The all-metal door latch offers stable and smooth drive ejection action and protection to the installed drive.
Full Metal Structure

To ensure enclosure reliability for many years, the TurboSwap can hold up in the harshest and roughest environments. The housing is made of a full-metal construction that is suitable for rugged-edge applications and industries that require a flammability rating.
Maximum Heat Dissipation

The open-air structure and air vents all around the device offer maximum heat dissipation. It works perfectly with your computer's cooling system and keeps your drive cool even under heavy workloads.
Optional Fan Mounting Holes

The TurboSwap MB171SP-1B includes four optional mounting holes for an 80mm cooling fan. Install a compatible cooling fan (80x80x10mm) and connect it to your power supply if extra cooling is needed.
Drive Power Button & Activity Light

The TurboSwap MB171SP-1B features an easy access drive power button that allows users to shut off the drive to reduce power and drive usage or prevent a hacker/virus attack. When a drive is fully inserted in the enclosure, the drive activity light will begin to light up and indicate the drive is powered and accessed.

Note: the SAS hard drive or SSD does not use the Pin 3 of SATA power connector for PWDIS feature and compatible with MB171SP-1B .

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.


Molex to SATA Adapter		Molex to SATA Cable

Method 2 – Placing Kapton tape on Pin 1-3 of the SATA power connector to isolate the 3.3V power, as shown below.
