Drive number pieces of plastic easily fall out. The fan is not the best quality. For this price level I expect a Noctua. Review: Great product for SAS 4.0 drives. - Works great for me after tech support figured out that the enterprise SAS drives I had would not start up due to a 3.3V signal applied to the PWDIS pin. The fix was to use a molex to SATA power cable that doesn't include a 3.3V power source. I currently have a number of SAS 4.0 drives working correctly at the max speed of 22.5Gb. Sometimes the latch pops open when the drive is loaded, which is a bit annoying, but they seem to be holding correctly for now. ## Features - Type: Drive Frame - Installable drives: 2.5" internal - Installation bays: 5.25" external - Suitable for: eight 2.5" SATA III or SAS Single Channel HDD/SSD - Material: metal ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07K8PK8JP | | Best Sellers Rank | 163,730 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 1,887 in Hard Drive Accessories 3,911 in Internal Data Storage | | Box Contents | ABS | | Brand | Icy Dock | | Brand Name | Icy Dock | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | 8 x 2.5" SATA/SAS hard drives | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 18 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00884826508090, 04713227445085 | | Hardware Interface | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | Laptop | | Hardware interface | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware platform | Laptop | | Item Type Name | 8 x 2.5 inch SATA/SAS SSD/HDD in 2 x 5.25 inch removable frame | | Item Weight | 1460 Grams | | Item weight | 1460 Grams | | Manufacturer | Icy Dock | | Manufacturer Part Number | MB508SP-B | | Material | Metal | | Model Number | MB508SP-B | | Network Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Product Warranty | 2 | | Supported Devices Quantity | 8 | | The Standard Size of the Hard Drive or the Bay the Hard Drive Is Compatible With (in inches) | 2.5 Inches | | UPC | 884826508090 | | Unit Count | 8.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Icy Dock - **Colour:** Black - **Hardware interface:** SATA 6.0 Gb/s - **Hardware platform:** Laptop - **Material:** Metal ## Images ![Backplane Module 2.5 Inch SAS/SATA Drive Enclosure 2.5 Inch MB508SP-B - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mbLGSzYCL.jpg) ![Backplane Module 2.5 Inch SAS/SATA Drive Enclosure 2.5 Inch MB508SP-B - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41en1j0hmbL.jpg) ![Backplane Module 2.5 Inch SAS/SATA Drive Enclosure 2.5 Inch MB508SP-B - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Hcd5GJceL.jpg) ![Backplane Module 2.5 Inch SAS/SATA Drive Enclosure 2.5 Inch MB508SP-B - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/412elBxWkYL.jpg) ![Backplane Module 2.5 Inch SAS/SATA Drive Enclosure 2.5 Inch MB508SP-B - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KtwRAQLkL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works *by H***E on 25 September 2024* Works. Drive number pieces of plastic easily fall out. The fan is not the best quality. For this price level I expect a Noctua. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for SAS 4.0 drives. *by S***Y on 26 February 2026* Works great for me after tech support figured out that the enterprise SAS drives I had would not start up due to a 3.3V signal applied to the PWDIS pin. The fix was to use a molex to SATA power cable that doesn't include a 3.3V power source. I currently have a number of SAS 4.0 drives working correctly at the max speed of 22.5Gb. Sometimes the latch pops open when the drive is loaded, which is a bit annoying, but they seem to be holding correctly for now. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Enclosure, SFF-8643 makes cabling a breeze *by E***C on 27 September 2024* This 8 bay enclosure fits perfectly in my 2U mini-ITX rack server. I could have gone for one of the denser models (such as the 16 bay), but it would be pointless with the installed SAS 9300-8I HBA. The dual SFF-8643 cabling really shines in this confined rack build. Using 8x 4TB SSDs and unRAID ZFS pool. I debated TrueNAS, but coming from previous unRAID systems, and having 3x spinning drives in this build, frankly the complexity (and learning curve) of TrueNAS just didn't seem worth it to me. Upgraded the fan to Noctua. ## Frequently Bought Together - ICY DOCK 8 Bay 2.5 SAS/SATA HDD/SSD Hot Swap Backplane Mobile Rack Enclosure for 2 x 5.25 Bay (2 x MiniSAS HD) | ToughArmor MB508SP-B - 10Gtek SFF-8643 to SFF-8643 12G Internal Mini SAS HD Cable, with Sideband, for NVMe Backplane/RAID Card, Hot-Swap & SATA Compatibility, 100-Ohm, Straight to Right Angle, 1-m(3.3ft) --- ## 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.co.ke/products/202206902-backplane-module-2-5-inch-sas-sata-drive-enclosure-2](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/202206902-backplane-module-2-5-inch-sas-sata-drive-enclosure-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
