Icy Dock MB452 Review - Installing we will go

For testing this enclosure, I have a brand new Samsung 160gb SATA II drive.  This drive is unformatted, and came out of the box for the first time to be installed inside the MB452.  Installing the drive was simple as well, consisting of actually putting the drive into the tray and sliding it down into the plug connector.  You then turn the tray over, and lock the drive into place with four screws.  Here are some pics of where the drive connects to the port connector, the drive in the tray, and the bottom where the screws hold it in place.

That was the hard part.  And to be honest, it wasn’t that hard.  I slid the drive onto the connector, and then put in four screws.  This is something that practically anyone who can use a screwdriver can accomplish with ease.

With the drive mounted and  in place, I slid the cover back on the tray, and it was complete.

Now, at this point, the tray is complete.  If you ever decide to purchase additional trays, so you could swap them out in the enclosure, you would follow the above steps to mount your drive(s) into them.

Now, to put the tray back into the enclosure, it is as simple as sliding the tray into place, and pushing the black lever down until it locks into place.  Here’s how easy it is.

Okay, the drive is now ready to go.  Lets plug it in and see how it works!
