Computer case Icy Dock MB982SP-1S

The Icy Dock MB982SP-1S 2.5” to 3.5” SATA SSD & HDD Converter is a metal adapter designed to fit into any standard 3.5” internal drive bay, backplane or hot-swap module. It uses the mounting hole positions and connection locations of a 3.5” SATA drive to allow installation of 2.5” SATA SSDs and HDDs, and supports drives with heights from 9.5 mm up to 15 mm using Smart-Fit Technology. The enclosure is constructed from SECC steel with a silver finish and features ventilation openings to aid cooling. Certified by FCC, CE and WEEE, the MB982SP-1S is suitable for environments that require a robust mechanical design.

Advantages

The full-metal SECC construction provides solid mechanical strength and improved heat dissipation compared with plastic adapters. Smart-Fit Technology secures thin and thick 2.5” drives without additional hardware. The converter installs without tools or screws and aligns with standard 3.5” mounting points for compatibility with internal bays, backplanes and hot-swap modules. Multiple ventilation slots on the top, front, rear and a bottom vent promote airflow and allow visual confirmation of a secure drive connection.

Suitable for

• Installing 2.5” SATA SSDs and HDDs in a 3.5” drive bay
• Use with server backplanes and hot-swap drive modules
• Industrial, enterprise or military equipment requiring rugged mounting
• Systems where improved thermal dissipation is needed for 2.5” drives

How to use

Slide a compatible 2.5” SATA drive into the converter and secure it using the Smart-Fit mechanism; no tools or screws are required. Insert the assembled converter into a standard 3.5” drive bay or compatible backplane/hot-swap module, ensuring the SATA connector aligns with the system connector. Verify that the bottom vent indicates a proper connection, then power on the system to detect the drive.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling, install the MB982SP-1S in a drive bay with active airflow. Confirm drive compatibility (SATA interface and supported height) before installation and avoid exposing the metal enclosure to corrosive environments.
