Icy Box 2.5 Inch Hard Drive Enclosure Review

The Icy Box IB-266StUSD is a device that fits in a computer case's 3.5" bay. It holds a 2.5" SATA hard drive which is placed in a removable enclosure. The enclosure and it's hard drive are hotswappable because they use a external SATA connection. This means fast transfer speeds and easy access to your drive, as well as a very small enclosure. A 2.5" drive won't have the performance of a 3.5" one and is more expensive (per gigabyte), but it is much easier to transport and will generally not require external power to operate.
