Introducing the MB153SP-B, a 3-in-2 SATA internal RAID backplane for 3.5" SATA hard drives. This is a lite version of the MB45X series by removing the monitoring features and reducing the overall cost, while keeping the same 3 year warranty and the core tray system for hot swapping and maintenance are kept for the best reliability in the market.

Slimmed Down Design

The MB153SP-B has been redesigned to be a lighter module, while maintaining the same level of quality, build, and service you'd expect from an Icy Dock product. While the design has gone through some changes, the space saving design is still established. The backplane module allows up to 3 x 3.5" SATA III hard drives, while only consuming two 5.25" bays. The module has also been redesigned for the type of power connector accepted. 15 pin SATA power is used to provide better accessibility for various host systems.

Introducing the FatCage MB155SP-B, a 5-in-3 SATA 6Gbps hot swappable internal RAID backplane cage. This is the lite version of the MB45X series by removing the monitoring features, increasing the cooling performance, and reducing the overall cost, while keeping the same 3 year warranty and the core tray system for hot swapping and maintenance are kept for the best reliability in the market.

The FatCage MB901SPR-B R1 is a dual bay RAID 1 & JBOD enclosure that supports 2 x 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD or 3.5" SATA hard drive in a 2 x 5.25" optical drive bay of your computer/workstation/rackmount system. The MB901SPR-B R1 is equipped with built-in hardware RAID chipset and easy-to-read RAID status LED indicators, letting you effortlessly mirror the 2.5" or 3.5" drives for data redundancy and monitoring the RAID status without pairing with a RAID card or using RAID monitoring software. In addition, the built-in RAID chipset does all the calculations without using the system resources, which improves the system's performance compared to motherboard RAID or software RAID. Finally, the removable drive trays and hot-swap feature let you replace a failed drive without shutting down the system, making the MB901SPR-B R1 a perfect drive enclosure for any mission-critical computing system, such as industrial automation systems and file server systems.

Built-In RAID 1 & JBOD

With the built-in JMS562 RAID chipset, you can effortlessly add a RAID 1 array to any computer system that uses a SATA connection without needing a RAID controller card or RAID-compatible motherboard. Simply connect the FatCage RAID enclosure to the system's SATA and power ports, insert 2 x 2.5" or 3.5" drive, and the FatCage automatically mirror the drives for data redundancy to prevent data loss or system downtime caused by a hard drive failure. In addition, the newly added JBOD mode allows you to view two individual drives (SATA port multiplier required) or erase the RAID table from the drives without using drive-erasing software or MS-DOS commands.

Advanced RAID Status LED Indicators

The FatCage RAID MB901SPR-B R1 is equipped with easy-to-read RAID status LED indicators for RAID 1 health monitoring during the operation so users can quickly grasp the live RAID status without installing the RAID monitoring software. However, if your application requires using RAID monitoring software, it is available for download and installation on Windows/Mac computers.

EZ-Tray Removable Drive Trays

The FatCage RAID MB901SPR-B R1 features removable EZ-Tray drive trays, allowing the user to install or remove drives without opening the computer case or powering off the computer. The EZ-Tray supports both 2.5" SSD/HDD and 3.5" hard disk drive and is compatible with FatCage and DataCage enclosures, including DataCage MB876SK-B (1x Drive), FatCage MB153SP-B (3x Drive), and MB155SP-B (5x Drive). This allows you to continue using the same drive trays from these enclosures and exchange drives between systems without unmounting the drive from the tray.

EMI Grounding

Making sure your drives are properly grounded is important, especially through many drive swaps. Without it, there is a high possibility that static shocks could damage your drives and result in losing important data. Our EMI grounding technology ensures a stable and safe environment for the SSD/HDD used, which improves reliability.

Packed with Features

Large ventilation holes are placed around the enclosure to work alongside your system's cooling system to keep your drives at optimal temperatures.

The 5.25" device bay has been a long standard in computer history. It started from the 90s legacy industrial PC cases all the way to today's Micro ATX cases. The 5.25" bay has been widely used for optical drives such as DVD and Blue-ray, or with even a single 3.5" hard drive with mobile rack. However, it is almost impossible to use a single 5.25" bay to create complex RAID storage until the MB996SP-6SB Full Metal 6 x 2.5" SATA Hard Drive & SSD Backplane.

Product Introduction

The ToughArmor RAID MB902SPR-B is a ruggedized full metal dual bay removable drive enclosure that supports 2 x 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD in a single optical 5.25" drive bay of your computer/workstation system. With the built-in hardware RAID 1 chipset and easy to read RAID status LED indicators, you can conveniently mirror the 2.5" drives for data redundancy without adding a RAID card or RAID monitoring software on the host end. In addition, Central Process Unit (CPU) is normally required to calculate a RAID but, alternatively, by having a RAID chipset on the enclosure, it frees up the CPU overhead and speeds up the whole system. Therefore MB902SPR-B is a perfect removable drive enclosure for mission-critical computer systems that not only make your system work faster but also provides protection against your critical data.

Built-In RAID 1 (Safe Mode)

With the built-in JMS562 hardware RAID chipset, you can create a 2.5" SSD/HDD RAID 1 array in any system without using a RAID controller card. The ToughArmor RAID MB902SRP-B automatically mirrors two 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD for data redundancy to prevent system downtime caused by a single hard drive failure.

Advanced RAID Status LED Indicators

The ToughArmor RAID MB902SPR-B is equipped with easy to read RAID status LED indicators for users to understand the current drive status without using a RAID monitoring software. However, if your application requires using a RAID monitoring software, it is available to download and install on Windows/Mac computers.

Removable Drive Trays

The MB902SPR-B features full metal removable EZ-Slide drive trays found throughout the ToughArmor Series, allowing users to install or remove 5-15mm height drives without opening the computer case or powering off the computer.

EMI Grounding

Making sure your drives are properly grounded is important, especially through many drive swaps. Without it, there is a high possibility that there may be static shocks that could damage your drives or may result in losing your important data. Our EMI grounding technology ensures a stable and safe environment for the HDD/SSD used, which improves reliability.

Safe and Secure

Ruggedized full metal chassis and trays ensure maximum drive security and further aids in drive heat dissipation. A built-in anti-vibration mechanism helps to reduce noise and protects against environmental damage.
