WHATS IN THE BOX

Apart from the enclosure itself, there is a power cable, screws, and USB cable, and eSATA cabe and a quick installation guide.

USING THE ENCLOSURE

Adding a drive is fairly simply, just click and slide out the drive bay (working from top to bottom) then fit the drive into the bay with some screws and then slot it back into place. All in all, a few minutes work.

Connecting the enclosure was simple and it was operational in no time at all.

FINAL THOUGHTS

The MB561US-4S is very simple to use, and is fairly quiet – which is surprising given the huge fan on the back of the enclosure.

Everything you need to use the enclosure is included in the box, so no need to look for cables or screws.

Unfortunately the first review unit I received was DOA but Icy Dock replaced it with another unit which worked perfectly.

If you want an easy to use 4 bay enclosure then you should definitely take a look at this one.

Here is a quick video on the enclosure:

Cost wise,  here in the UK it retails for around £182 and in the US for about $400 although you can find it a lot cheaper by searching around.
