Icy Dock MB452 Review - Open it up
(Page 3 of 7 )
When we received the MB452 from Icy Dock, it was packaged in an attractive package seemingly intended for mainstream distribution in your favorite computer store.
Although the outside of the box was attractive, the inside needs some definite work. Most hardware manufacturers use styrofoam to hold the products in place, but in this instance, Icy Dock chose to use folded cardboard to hold the unit in place. When I opened the box, the cardboard inside practically fell apart as I removed it. With such flimsy packaging, it would not be hard to imagine the unit getting beat up and damaged before being opened by the buyer.
Opening the Icy Dock, it at first appeared as if I had received only the unit, a power supply, and a manual. I was initially disappointed, as a good product should include the necessary cables and such required to use it.
Following the instructions, I removed the drive tray from the front of the unit, and opened it up. It was just a matter of pulling the lever on the front, and sliding the tray out of the enclosure. The tray came out nice and easy. With the tray out, I was greeted with additional parts, including two connection cables (one for USB, and the other for SATA). There was even a small baggie with keys and drive mounting screws. Here’s a pic of what I mean:
All the pieces are out and on the table now, so now it's time to stick a hard drive inside.
