Icy Dock ToughArmor MB604SPO-B test result …
The Icy Dock MB604SPO-B ToughArmor is a very good choice if you want to accommodate several 2.5″ drives and even a slimline ODD drive in the smallest possible space in a 5.25″ bay!
The workmanship of the MB604SPO-B removable frame, which is made almost entirely of metal, is just as exemplary as the workmanship of the individual metal EZ trays, although this could be optimized with a screwless mounting option.
The performance of the SATA drives was not affected and even a quick hot-swap of the drives is possible if all the basic requirements are met.
Thanks to the extremely good heat dissipation via the housing, an increase in temperature is not to be expected even in passive mode and those who want to be on the safe side can set the active fan to two levels.
An ejection mechanism has also been included, which is best not to forget to screw on.

The Icy Dock MB411SPO-1B ToughArmor removable frame also convinced us!
If you want to use the ODD slot in your notebook or ITX PC for a SATA SSD or HDD, the MB411SPO-1B is a loyal companion that is very stable and can be used flexibly thanks to the small all-metal EZ tray.
In both removable frames, an activity indicator has been implemented on the EZ tray front of all drive bays, which do not require contacts and are therefore relatively fail-safe.
All in all, Icy Dock has once again shown that they understand their specialty with removable frames of all kinds and underline the high quality with a 5-year limited manufacturer’s warranty.
