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. Review: Snap in HDD/SSD and lever locks in place - I open the side of a desktop and hook these directly to the SATA and power cables without having to bolt in for temporary data transfer. Would be nice if it came with an adapter for 5 1/4 bay. Much better than the DVD replacement HDD holder. ## 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 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Q711K8H | | Best Sellers Rank | #764 in Enclosures | | Brand | ICY DOCK | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (73) | | Data Transfer Rate | 1 Gigabits Per Second | | Enclosure Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00884826508175 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hardware Interface | SAS, Solid State Drive | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Weight | 268 Grams | | Manufacturer | ICYDOCK | | Supported Devices Quantity | 1 | | UPC | 884826508175 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ICY DOCK - **Color:** Black - **Hardware Interface:** SAS, Solid State Drive - **Hardware Platform:** PC - **Material:** Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) ## Images ![ICY DOCK 1 Bay 2.5 SAS/SATA HDD/SSD Tool-Less Enclosure for External 3.5" Bay | ExpressCage MB741SP-B - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+F480h6eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect to mount a 2.5" SSD using your 3.5" external front bay slot. *by T***O on January 15, 2021* I mounted a Samsung 860 into its pop-out cage … and it's a perfect fit.

Would be nice if it came with an adapter for 5 1/4 bay. Much better than the DVD replacement HDD holder. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far it’s ok *by A***N on August 6, 2023* Pulling out the tray works fine, as well as replacing the drive inside the tray. However, inserting the tray into the bay is more of a hassle. I guess it is useful for occasional use, but I fear it might break if used on a more frequent basis --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/154021116-icy-dock-1-bay-2-5-sas-sata-hdd-ssd](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/154021116-icy-dock-1-bay-2-5-sas-sata-hdd-ssd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
