Unleash the Power of High-Density Storage

The ExpressCage MB038SP-B is a revolution in storage density. Capable of supporting up to 8 x 5-7mm height 2.5-inch drives in a single 5.25-inch optical drive bay, it allows for the rapid addition of a high-density drive array to any desktop system. Paired with your preferred RAID setup for enhanced transfer speeds or drive failure protection, it's ideal for file server applications like UnRAID and TrueNAS, or virtual machine setups.

Redefining Convenience

Say goodbye to system shutdowns and case openings when replacing or adding drives. The removable tray design of the MB038SP-B allows for seamless drive maintenance, ensuring a hassle-free and efficient installation or removal process.

Your Data in Safe Hands

Designed with optimal drive protection and heat dissipation in mind, the ExpressCage MB038SP-B boasts a robust all-metal housing and a one-piece ABS tray with a sturdy handle. This durable design can withstand thousands of drive insertions and removals, providing unparalleled reliability. Additionally, our ExpressCage series has demonstrated exceptional durability with a near-zero failure rate. To further guarantee your satisfaction, we offer a 3-year global product warranty, delivering top-notch after-sales service anytime, anywhere.

Cool Under Pressure

With dual 40mm cooling fans and strategically placed air ventilation holes on the front panel, the MB038SP-B ensures efficient cooling even during heavy workloads. Combined with carefully positioned cutouts on the PCB at the rear of the drive positions, this enclosure keeps your drives cool and your data safe.

Not satisfied with the preinstalled fans? No problem. The MB038SP-B can be effortlessly upgraded with any standard 40mm fan featuring a 3-pin header. Choose your preferred aftermarket fan and seamlessly install it into the ExpressCage MB038SP-B.

Features for Seamless Integration

Each bay of the ExpressCage MB038SP-B is equipped with its own indicator light, providing clear notifications of hard drive activity. Soft-green LEDs make it easy to sense drive usage without straining your eyes.

The locking latch support for both 7-pin SATA and 15-pin power connectors ensures secure connections that will never slip out of place (requires cable with supporting locking latch features).

Never lose track of which drive goes where. Individual numbered drive ID labels let you maintain order of your drives in RAID arrays. The drive labels can be easily re-ordered, or removed entirely for a cleaner look.
