The MB344SPO 2.5 drive caddies use built-in screw that grip
the drive, without the need for any tools. This allows for drives to be
swapped quickly and easily, without having to remove any screws.
|
|
|
|

|
Drive caddies can be removed and re-inserted into MB344SPO
without tools, thanks to the single-latch mechanism. To remove the drive
caddy, simply depress the latch to pull out the drive caddy. This
process can be done with just two fingers. Installation is even faster,

Built for Security and Protection
|
|
The MB344SPO uses a rugged full-metal outer casing, to protect
against bumps and ensure the enclosure lasts through many insertion /
removal cycles. The open frame metal housing aids in heat dissipation
and maximizes airflow, keeping drives running cool. To further improve
cooling, ventilation holes are located on the front and sides of the
bracket to create proper air dynamics.
|
|
|
Anti-vibration rubber stoppers are placed inside the bracket,
which grips the drives and protects the drives from vibration damage.
Mechanical hard drives cause a lot of vibration, which can cause
excessive noise and potentially lead to data corruption. The vibration
dampeners found in MB344SPO absorbs the vibration and prevents this
detrimental energy from reaching back to the hard drive.

which fits into the slim ODD bay of MB344SPO. This is a perfect
combination for people who needs extra drive storage space and/or
