IcyDock MB452 eSATA-USB2.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure Review

February 8th 2007 | Storage

Wouldn’t it be great if we could pull out that removable hard drive rack from the PC, and instead of sliding into another computer, pop it into a portable external hard drive chassis that can go anywhere?

Well, lucky for us Icy Dock have introduced just such a product. The Icy Dock MB452 is an external eSATA and USB2.0 hard drive enclosure whose removable drive caddy is compatible with the companies PC mounted MB122SKGF system. The removable serial ATA hard drive caddy’s are interchangeable with each product family, allowing internal and external drives to be swapped in a few moments.

Data transfer speeds on the eSATA cable are just as fast as internal SATA drives, which is the biggest attraction in our eyes. In this day and age we wouldn’t recommend any external hard drive chassis that didn’t include eSATA as an option. The Icy Dock MB452 does, and it is a good looking and understated approach to burgeoning storage needs.
