To answer This, The new expresstray drive Caddy supports completely tool-less drive installation, without sacrificing security, with its enhanced screw-less drive gripping mechanism, stabilized drive insertion design, and single-piece latch. Furthermore, the strong metal chassis provides protection against bumps and shock, while the integrated air ventilation holes work to keep your drives running cool all day, even under heavy load. Review: Nur leichte Ungenauigkeiten bei der Verarbeitung Review: I mounted a Samsung 860 into its pop-out cage … and it's a perfect fit. You drop the SSD onto two 'permanent' screws in the cage that act as post-mounts to hold the SSD in place without actually permanently mounting the SSD TO the cage. Making it easy/quick to swap SSDs in/out of the cage. (Or IcyDock sells additional cages separately.) OR you can screw-in the SSD using the remaining two screw-holes to more-permanently mount it into the cage. (Screws provided.) The 'cage-holder' mounts into a 3.5" external front bay slot with the three screw-holes on each side in the correct standard position to do so. (Screws provided.) The back of the OUTSIDE of the cage-holder has the SATA power & data connections needed to make the permanent connections. And the cage itself slides in snug so that the SSD connects to the SATA connectors mounted on the back of the INSIDE of the cage-holder. This device is really intended for hot-swapping … but I am just using it as a bracket for my SSD boot drive. I didn't really have anywhere else to bracket it up … and I had a 3.5" external slot free. The cage has a built-in blue light that will flicker to indicate SSD activity, a nice plus that I wouldn't get had I bracketed-up the SSD somewhere internally. Another nice feature is that the cage and cage-holder are flush with the external bay opening. This is the only product of this type I found with that feature. I needed that feature because I have a door that swings open/closed over the external bay slots. Accordingly competing devices, where the drive, cage and/or cage-holder protrude, could not be used as a solution. If you are going to use this device for hot-swapping, there is a TWO-cage version of this device available that might interest you even more. I only had ONE unused SATA port left on the motherboard, so I just went with this one-cage version instead. Appears to be solid & thoughtful construction … and an excellent choice for these types of applications. ## Features - Rugged metal housing with durable ABS caddies for maximum security and protection - Fits 1x 2.5" SAS/SATA HDD/SSD, and installs into a single 3.5" external bay (floppy bay) - Supports 2.5" drives with 5mm, 7mm, 9.5mm, 12.5mm, and 15mm height - Multi-Flow Technology - Provides excellent passive cooling - Active Power Technology - Only powers on when a drive is installed, saving power.Advances ExpressCage drive caddy MB741TP-B, with new drive-gripping mechanism, strengthened single-piece latch, and tool-less drive installation.Removable drive caddy system for easy installation and maintece.Supports Hot-Swap - Add or remove drives without restarting your computer.Backed by full 3-year manufacturer's warranty.Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) reduces vibration from mechanical hard drives ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Q711K8H | | Brand | ICY DOCK | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (68) | | Data Transfer Rate | 1 Gigabits Per Second | | Enclosure Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00884826508175 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hardware Interface | SAS, Solid State Drive | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Weight | 268 Grams | | Manufacturer | ICYDOCK | | Supported Devices Quantity | 1 | | UPC | 884826508175 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ICY DOCK - **Colour:** Black - **Hardware interface:** SAS, Solid State Drive - **Hardware platform:** PC - **Material:** Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) ## Images ![1x 2.5 SAS/SATA HDD/SSD Mobile Rack for External 3.5" Bay | ExpressCage MB741SP-B - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+F480h6eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***I on 17 March 2021* Nur leichte Ungenauigkeiten bei der Verarbeitung ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***O on 15 January 2021* I mounted a Samsung 860 into its pop-out cage … and it's a perfect fit.
