Product description
Product Description
Introducing the ICY DOCK MB882SP-1S-2B: another milestone in our 2.5 inch SSD product line. Through manufacturing efficiency, we have managed to redesign the original MB882SP-1S-1B without any sacrifice to our standard of high quality products. The new version is lighter weight for simplicity and cost efficiency. It is very convenient for gamers and power users who expect SSD speed on their home/ office computers. Some other new elements to the converter are viewing slots placed over the SATA connection, allowing the user to verify their HDD or SSD has made a secure connection. This also functions as an extra set of airflow vents for extra cooling with your SSD or HDD. Overall, a lightweight and simplistic design that is perfect for power users, gamers, and average computer users for use in their desktops, media centers, and home servers.

MB882SP-1S-1B MB882SP-1S-2B MB882SP-1S-3B
The -2B version reviewed here is a 2 part unit with a removable lid and a solid base into which the 2.5" drive is inserted and pushed back against the SATA connector by hand. And this works perfectly: you can press the drive into the SATA connector with as much or as little force as you need until it hits the stop.
Beware of the -1B version, however, which has a sliding base to automatically 'push' the drive into the SATA connector when the lid is closed - that version works very badly indeed.
I buy lots of 2.5" to 3.5" SATA caddies for use in servers with 3.5" hotswap bays and these work perfectly. Performance is no different from a directly connected drive. I'm using SSDs in all of these units, so heat/noise isn't of particular concern, but if you were using a very warm spinning disk, you might need to provide additional cooling.
I don't like it because it is one of the more expensive SSD housings available and is vastly overpriced for what it is. The plastic has many sharp edges and the top doesn't really click in place or get removed with any reassuring solidity.
Upon fitting it to my spare early 2009 Mac Pro drive sled and connecting a 256Gb Samsung 840 Pro SSD as described in the pictorial instruction sheet, the dock and drive didn't connect initially without some working of the dock so that it lined up with the connections on the Mac Pro's main board.
After power-up, the drive wasn't recognised. Perhaps the mating wasn't complete, so I took everything apart again to check and, sure enough, the connector on the drive needed to be worked onto the dock. This wasn't a horrendous problem in the grand scheme of things, but again goes back to there being no reassurance regarding the solidity of the unit, this time its connection.
The fun didn't stop there, though, as when I went to close the top, one of the screw receptacles on the Icy Dock's house fell straight out! I decided to press on and slide the sled in place with three of its screws still attached and hope for the best.
This attempt was more successful and I was able to format the disk. However, if there was another way of using this in the Mac's 3.5" internal bays, I would definitely choose the alternative! I bought a second one of these at the same time as the first, as I'm planning to go to a full SSD setup over time, but now I'm dreading to use it and considering returning it.
Initially the SSD was not detected by the Mac when mounted in the Icy Dock adapter, even though it was recognized when mounted in an external USB enclosure. All Mac Pro drive bays worked with other drives so everything pointed to a problem with the Icy Dock and I was beginning to consider returning it.
Thankfully the solution is to be found here in some helpful reviews.
I will repeat it here to save you looking for it:
Unscrew the PCB in the Icy Dock (it's just 3 screws), plug it directly into the SSD (it takes a firm push to get it fully in, perhaps it could be done without removing the PCB but it's very counter-intuitive to need to push it so hard), screw the PCB back in, close the Icy Dock, place it back in the Mac Pro.
Now it should work.
It's really a poor design, but in the end I still give it two stars because (PS: changed to 1 star later):
- There aren't many products like this.
- It feels cheap, but at least it IS cheap.
- In the end, it works.
Thanks to all who mentioned the solution before me and saved me a lot of hassle.
PS: I also had a screw receptacle sliding out of the Icy Dock case, as described by reviewer A. K. Sheikh. It was easy to push back in but I can't help thinking that the stupid thing could, in theory, fall off from the Mac's metal caddy if it happened to all four receptacles. In practice this is not very likely to happen, and some glu could surely sort this out. But this really is PATHETIC build quality. So I'm removing 1 of the 2 stars. It can be made to work, but just get something else if you still can!
