ICY BOX IB-1124L-C3 1-Bay HDD/SSD Docking Station, 2.5" / 3.5", USB 3.0, Hot-Swap, Black

The ICY BOX IB-1124L-C3 is a single-bay docking station engineered for external connectivity of SATA storage devices. This dock supports the quick installation and use of both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA I, II, or III hard drives and solid-state drives. It establishes the host connection via a USB 3.0 (Type-B) interface, which is compatible with the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard. This connectivity allows for a maximum theoretical data transfer throughput of 5 Gbit/s, enabling rapid data access and backup tasks.

Operational stability is maintained by the requirement for an external AC power adapter, which is included in the package to reliably power high-capacity 3.5-inch drives. The device integrates both Plug & Play and HotSwap protocols, facilitating the insertion and removal of storage media without requiring system restarts. Physical status monitoring is managed by LED indicators that display current power status and active data access. Constructed primarily of plastic and finished in black, the unit maintains a compact physical profile, measuring 85 x 160 x 66 mm.
