Product details

The IB-525-U3 is an external enclosure for 5.25" SATA drives or hard drive exchange frames. Whether you want to use a DVD, Blu-ray, or an old CD drive, this simple black aluminum case provides a new home for these devices. Internal hard drive exchange frames can also be used externally now. With USB 3.2 Gen 1, a data transfer rate of up to 5 Gbit/s is available, which can be connected to the host computer via a USB Type-C or Type-A connection.

For standard DVD or Blu-ray drives
Do you have a drive left over from an old desktop PC? Or a standard DVD or Blu-ray drive? That's great, because you can now easily use them externally by inserting the drive into the IB-525-U3. The ICY BOX enclosure is compatible with all 5.25" SATA drives.

Versatile use
Not only can standard DVD or Blu-ray drives now be used externally with the IB-525-U3, but the functional enclosure can also accommodate 5.25" exchange frames. This way, some hardware can be brought back to life.

High-quality aluminum
The enclosure is made of high-quality aluminum, making it robust and particularly durable. The simple black design integrates well with the IT peripherals of most workplaces.
