ICY DOCK FlexiDOCK MB522SP-B Review

Storage/Other by stefan @ 2017-05-21

flexiDOCK MB522SP-B is a well-built trayless case upgrade device that allows 2x 2.5’’ HDD/SSD installations with variable heights and for additional durability, the outer enclosure is made of metal. This type of product is a very good time saver in applications where drive swapping occurs regularly such as data cloning, data backup, audio/video editing, digital forensic, drive recovery, drive testing for performance purposes or any other tasks.

After mounting it inside the case and using the provided screws in order to properly secure it on both sides, we can say that the installation is complete!

 

 

 

In order to test out the flexiDOCK MB522SP-B, we have installed the two SSDs we are using in our VGA test bench machine; the drives were detected as if they would be connected straight to the motherboard and no extra slowdowns did occur. Before using the hot-swap function, make sure that this option is also activated from the UEFI interface of the motherboard!
