This process can be done with just two fingers. Installation is even faster, simply insert the tray into the bracket and it snaps in place.

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.
