Icy Box Ib-141cl-U3

Each storage device is recognized individually as a drive and can be conveniently accessed. Cloning even works without a computer, making it easy to mirror content onto multiple hard drives while saving power. The IB-141CL-U3 is not only incredibly practical and efficient but also makes a good visual impression. While other manufacturers use only plastic, ICY BOX employs high-quality aluminum.

Connection to a PC or laptop is made via a fast USB 3.0 port. Thanks to backward compatibility, an older USB standard can also be used. Installation is completely simple with Plug & Play, and no drivers are required. A stylish LED indicates the current status and access to the hard drive. The current status of a cloning process can also be read this way.

This docking station can accommodate up to four HDDs or SSDs in 2.5" and 3.5" sizes. The maximum height for 3.5" hard drives should be 8.89 cm, while the height for 2.5" HDDs/SSDs should not exceed 6.35 cm.

Of course, the cloning station can also be used purely as an HDD docking station, allowing all hard drives to be read and written to normally. With the help of the USB 3.0 host, this is done at a data transfer rate of up to 5 Gbit/s.

Clone bootable hard drives without a connection to the PC, often referred to as stand-alone. This way, the USB 3.0 port occupied by the IB-141CL-U3 is freed up for other devices during the cloning process.
