Icy Dock MB122 Internal Removable Drive - Conclusion

(Page 4 of 4 )

Now that everything was installed and working, I did some testing.  This testing included actually removing and installing the tray a few times, as well as using the drive while it was installed. The only problem I ran into at all was having to wiggle the arm a little bit while getting the tray properly seated in the enclosure.

So, here we are again, ready for the Pros and Cons of this unit:

Pros:

• Well built, excellent quality
• Helpful LCD readout
• SATA performance
• Easy to install and use

Cons:

• Relies on hard drive connectors for repeated connections
• Models can be confusing, especially when trying to pair with another compatible unit

Based on this, I gave the Icy Dock MB122 SKGF-1 a score of 7 out of 10. In my eyes, using the hard drive connectors as the main interface was a definite detriment. That and the confusing models are what kept the score of this device from being all that it could be.
