ICY DOCK MB990SP-B Dual 2.5" to 3.5" SATA/IDE Adapter

jmke · 7th April 2010, 13:05

It is a common issue for power users; how do you fit your new solid state drive that uses the notebook standard 2.5 inch form factor into your desktop that was designed to accept 3.5 inch drives? Many users have taken to just laying their drive at the bottom of their case, but that makes moving your system around dangerous and it really doesn’t look very good.

I set out to find the best adapter available, but it needed to fit a certain set of criteria that would make it appealing for wide spread adaption for our readers. There have been an increasing number of these products brought to market in the last few months; some of them cheap, others bulky and others just looked like they would be a pain in the butt to use. My goal was to find a product that was low cost, easy to use and bring more features to the table than just a U shaped piece of aluminum can provide. My search ended when ICY DOCK released their MB990SP-B 2.5” to 3.5” SATA / IDE SSD & HDD Bracket.
