Features both USB 3.0 and eSATA connectivity, well designed, 3 Fan speeds, Looks good with blue/red LED
Only fits 3.5″ drives (without buying an adapter), Not the fastest read/write speeds, Fan isn't particularly quiet, Not the cheapest, Kitguru says: Another solid bit of kit from ICY DOCK, but there are many alternatives available on the market today, Rati
The performance of the ICY Dock Blizzard MB080U3S-1SB is reasonably good however the speeds are not close to class leading. With the Kingston HyperX drive plugged in the device was limited to around 160 MB/s. We know this particular drive is capable of ne...
There are a number of products on the market that I really like the look of, but its sad to say that this is not one of them. This is only a personal matter as the stark fan positioning on the front to me is a bit over the top. I will however look at it f...
Most external enclosures choose to focus on smaller, space saving designs but with the Blizzard, Icy Dock has chosen to instead focus on a solution with superior cooling potential. The addition of an 80mm fan where you would normally see a 40mm fan is no...
Incredibly Easy Tool Free Installation, Active Cooling With 80mm Fan, Over-Temperature Indication, USB 3.0 and eSATA
2.5" drives require adapters, which are not included

It was a real joy testing the Icy Dock MB080U3S-1SB Blizzard and MB559U3S-1S Ultra Slim Enclosures. They are very well made and durable, which means that you will not have to worry about small thin plastic pieces breaking off accidently. Surprisingly ...

Einfacher Festplattentausch
Automatische Lüfterregelung funktioniert im Test nicht, lauter Lüfter
Sofern der Hersteller die automatische Regelung des Lüfters in den Griff bekommt, ist das Gehäuse Icy Dock Blizzard für Anwender interessant, die häufig die Festplatten tauschen. Dies gelingt mit wenigen Handgriffen und ist ein Vorteil gegenüber anderen F...
Débits, Connectique, Installation aisée du disque, Ventilateur
Un peu bruyant
