ICY DOCK

ICY DOCK MB996SP-6SB 6-bay 2.5" SATA drive enclosure

SKU CH-RJVW-811E3 MPN MB996SP-6SB

Six-bay 2.5" SATA enclosure fits a 5.25" bay with RAID 0, 1, 5 and JBOD support

  • Six drives fit in one 5.25" bay for dense storage
  • Hot-swap trays let you change drives without powering down
  • Hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 and JBOD built in for data protection
  • Active Power Technology spins up drives sequentially to limit current surge
  • All-metal construction resists vibration for reliable operation

Six-bay SATA backplane for 5.25" bays

The ICY DOCK MB996SP-6SB fits six 2.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs into a single 5.25-inch device bay. It provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 and JBOD modes through an integrated controller. Active Power Technology spins down idle drives to reduce power draw. The all-metal construction adds vibration resistance for dense storage arrays.

Suited for high-density SATA storage

This enclosure serves builders who need six hot-swappable SATA drives in one external bay without adding a separate controller card. It is not for systems that lack a free 5.25-inch bay or a SATA host connection. Users requiring more than six drives or a different physical form factor will need another solution.

Hardware RAID 0 1 5 and JBOD support

The on-board RAID controller handles striping, mirroring, parity and spanning across the six installed drives. This single specification determines whether the enclosure matches the redundancy or performance profile your array requires.

Questions about this item

Will the six 2.5" SATA drives in this enclosure work with an older motherboard that only has SATA 3 Gb/s ports?

The backplane supports SATA 600 (6 Gb/s) and is backward-compatible with 3 Gb/s ports, so the drives will operate at the slower speed without any configuration changes.

How can I verify the Active Power Technology is actually spinning down idle drives after installation?

Listen for the drives to spin down after the inactivity timeout; the front-panel LEDs will change from solid to blinking to show the low-power state.

Does the package include the six SATA data cables and the 5.25" mounting screws, or must I buy them separately?

The box contains the backplane cage, a 4-pin Molex power cable and mounting screws for the 5.25" bay; six SATA data cables are not included and must be purchased separately.
