Eight-Drive 5.25" Backplane

The ICY DOCK MB998SK-B fits eight 2.5" SATA or SAS drives into one external 5.25" bay using two 15-pin power connectors and eight SATA 7-pin host links. Dual 40 mm fans and front and side vents provide active cooling for dense storage builds. Rugged full-metal construction and locking trays suit medical, military and industrial environments.

RAID Builders and Industrial Installers

The cage targets users who need high drive counts in a single optical bay with hot-swap trays and keyed locks. Builders limited to 5 mm to 7 mm drive heights or single-channel SAS host adapters will find the specification a mismatch. Systems without a free 5.25" opening or eight SATA ports cannot accommodate the unit.

Eight SATA 7-pin Host Ports

Each bay requires its own SATA 7-pin connection to the controller, so the host must present eight ports or an expander. The backplane passes SATA I, II and III signals plus single-channel SAS without protocol translation. If the controller offers fewer than eight ports, the full capacity cannot be used.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the MB998SK-B is operating correctly after installation?

Verify all eight drive LEDs show activity, both 40mm fans spin, and the system detects every SATA drive connected to the eight 7-pin host ports.

What ships with the MB998SK-B and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the cage, user manual, ID plug, 42 screws, two fan-speed reduction cables and two lock keys; you must supply eight SATA data cables and two 15-pin SATA power connectors.

Which drive heights does the MB998SK-B accept?

The trays support 2.5" SATA or SAS drives from 5 mm to 7 mm tall; thicker drives will not fit.
