THE ICY BOX IB-121CL-U3

The IB-121CL-U3 measures 125mm in depth, 140mm in width and 72mm in height. Design-wise it has a nice silver aluminum plate around the main body while the top is black plastic (silver doesn't register well in our photo bench).

RaidSonic has placed the ICY BOX logo at the front.

The control panel is placed just over the logo and from here you either use the docking station normally or as a drive cloner.

Unlike most docking stations i was surprised to see that the IB-121CL-U3 has no eject buttons for the drives (you can still pull them out but it's just not as easy).

The USB 3.0 host port and the DC power in are placed at the rear.

4 small round rubber feet keep the device steady during use.

The rather small size of the IB-121CL-U3 is also a plus (compared to some larger docking stations that require more space on your desk).
