Overview

2.5" to 3.5" Converter for SSD/HDD SATA drives



TheEZConvert ICY DOCK Air Lite MB482SP-3B 2.5" to 3.5" HDD/SSD Converter is specially designed for builders who prefer to mount their hard drives or SSDs with screws for maximum stability. TheEZConvert Air Lite MB482SP-3B features an open top design with exceptional cooling, to convert 2.5" SATA HDD/SSDs into a slot that matches the dimensions of a 3.5" drive with a SATA speed of 6Gbps. The converter is made of robust stainless steel, perfect for the most demanding applications. The perforated grids, top opening and metal design all contribute to keeping your drives as cool as possible.


Supports 2.5" drives for all 3.5" bays



SSDs are becoming more and more prevalent, but most computer cases do not have a slot for 2.5" hard drives. Since these chassis do not normally allow for a 2.5" SSD/HDD, a 2.5" converter in a 3.5" slot is an absolute necessity when purchasing 2.5" HDD/SSD drives.

For businesses, it can be useful to upgrade server files from a 3.5" HDD to 2.5" HDD/SSD without spending large amounts of money to do so.

Ultra Compatibility


TheEZconvert Air Lite MB482SP-3B accepts any 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD with a height between 7mm and 15mm. The mounting holes on the bottom allow you to mount your 2.5" hard drive or SSD securely to your chassis with the screws provided. Securing your drives is essential for demanding systems.

TheEZConvert Air Lite MB482SP-3B has exactly the same dimensions and specifications as a 3.5" SATA HDD, and is compatible with any PC, device, server or HDD enclosure that uses a 3.5" SATA drive. The SATA PCB bridge construction protects the HDD/SSD connectors during your multiple insertion and removal operations, offering full SATA 6 Gbps speed, with no speed reduction due to the simple design.

Sophisticated cooling


The foundation of theEZConvert Air is its ability to cool drives quickly. Anopen-air design with an opening at the top allows heat to disperse and make your drive "breathe". This is crucial during heavy use and can lead to better performance, as it is well known that excessive heat can interfere with and reduce the optimal functioning of your system.

ICY DOCK has strategically placed ventilation slots on both sides to allow heat to escape, while the metal frame acts as a giant heat sink to quickly cool your drives. The open design, air slots and metal frame together help provide a high quality cooling system for your peace of mind.

    Good, but

    The rack is minimalist but suitable for mounting an SSD, the only downside is that the rack seems longer than a hard disk, and is a little hard to close in the ICY BOX IB-168SK-B rack.

    Finally a solid adapter

    Very good, conforms to the 3.5" standard

    Perfect for those whose case needs to be mounted from below.
    The little plus: The SATA connection. No need to twist the cables.
    As far as cooling is concerned, it's still too early to have an opinion.
