On this page you'll find a ranking of the best Icy Box products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've already ranked the most important information about the products for you.

1. Icy Box IB-1817M-C31

With the IB-1817M-C31 external USB 3.1 Type-C enclosure, an NVMe SSD can be quickly and easily carried along. It allows access to M.2 disks of up to 2 TB no matter which host computer it is connected to. The integrated cooling plate transfers the resulting waste heat from the SSD to the housing and thus optimally cools the SSD. This prevents the usual premature reduction of the transmission rate to protect against overheating. 

2. Icy Box ext. 3.5" housing IB-377U3

The new chipset supports UASP technology and SATA III 6 Gbit/s hard drives, making data transfer significantly faster than with a standard USB 3.0 enclosure. The Easy Swap mechanism also allows for high speeds during hard drive changes: open the lid, remove the hard drive, insert the new hard drive, close the lid, and you're done. 

3. Icy Box IB-377-C31

The timeless design of the IB-377 series easily makes one forget that it is the latest addition to the family. As usual, the materials and workmanship meet the high Icy Box standard. The incredibly fast USB 3.1 (Gen 2) connection allows data transfers of up to 10 Gbit/s. The IB-377-C31 is made from a discreet yet elegantly appealing blend of high-gloss polished aluminum and sandblasted plastic. This makes it not only attractive but also very lightweight. Thanks to Plug & Play and HotSwap, a single click in the operating system is all it takes to access the contents of the hard drive. A glance at the blue LED ring indicates whether the hard drive is ready for data access.

With USB 3.1 technology, even greater data transfer rates are achieved. USB 3.1 is backward compatible, provided that appropriate cables or adapters are used. The data rate of up to 10 Gbit/s is supported by the included USB 3.1 Type-C cable and requires only a suitable endpoint in the form of a PC, tablet, or similar device.
