Grab your favorite translator and head on over to OCInside to read their review of the Icy Dock MB973SP-1B FlexCage. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.
Nearly all finished NAS have so-called hot-swap bays, with which the hard disks easily change. But what if the performance of a NAS is not enough but you do not want to do without the comfort of the Hot-Swap Bays? Many consumer housings or 19-inch housings in the lower price segment have only internal 3.5-inch as well as additional external 5.25-inch inserts. Since you rarely need optical drives in home servers, these drive inserts are ideal for installing an Icy Dock FlexCage swap frame.
