Icy Dock, eine Firma mit Hauptsitz in China, besitzt eine große Auswahl an verschiedenen Speicherlösungen. Über Backplanes, externen Festplattengehäusen bis zu einfachen Wechselrahmen reicht das umfangreiche Portfolio. Wir haben dieses Mal ein externes Festplattengehäuse für 2,5" Festplatten im Test. Durch den noch relativ neuen USB 3.0 Standard soll es besonders schnell sein. Wie es sich im Test schlägt erfahrt Ihr auf den folgenden Seiten. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!

ICY Dock are continually improving their line-up of Hard Drive Enclosures, hoping to find the perfect solution for a wide audience. Today, we are looking at an External Bay enclosure which holds a 3.5″ SATA hard disk drive.

When it comes to drive enclosures, both of the internal and external flavour, there is, generally speaking, one name that always pops to mind and this is Icy Dock. For many years now they have been creating enclosures, mounts and backplanes in a whole heap of varieties – some of which we’d never have thought were useful. The backplane that I’ll be looking at today is just one example of a product that I’d look through their catalogue, see and skip past as it doesn’t immediately jump out to me as a product that needs much attention.
For the vast majority of home users, having a server at home is not something that would really shout out as being needed and on the whole, they are not, but with media streaming and file sharing become more common, some users are making the move to build their own. Naturally the obvious path, rather than buying one, is to build a system from common desktop components, using a mid tower chassis to house everything, but many chassis only offer internal drive bays and there can be few at that. For those that are keen on keeping things backed up or who want easy access to their drives without having to open the case, having a backplane is a simple solution that gives flexibility of access whilst adding additional 3.5″ space.
The MS155SP-B that we’re looking at today is a simple, straight to the point backplane. By simply mounting into the optical drive area, this backplane gives five additional drive bays that can be individually removed from the system in a hot-swap manner with ease.
Anyone that has owned an Icy Dock product of this type or have read my past reviews on some of their products will know that they like to keep the packaging and extras down to a minimum, after all there’s no need for a heap of paperwork, leaflets and other non-vital parts that typically ends up staying in the box.

TechREACTION would like to thank Icy Dock for providing this rather unusual (but stylish) external enclosure – for our scrutiny. Being a major player in the storage enclosure (from internal 2.5″ to 3.5″ drive adapters all the way up to external raid cages) market Icy Dock has the bases covered.

Powerline bzw. Powerlan Adapter erfreuen sich schon seit Jahren großer Beliebtheit, wenn es um die einfache Vernetzung mehrerer Räume geht. Als Alternative zu WLAN-Netzwerken erreichen die Stromadapter ähnliche Netto-Übertragungsraten, oft sogar auch schnellere Datenraten. Wir wollen euch in diesem Artikel einer neue Serie von Powerline-Adaptern vorstellen, die von ICY BOX gefertigt werden und mit Brutto-Datenraten von 500 MBit spezifiziert sind. Das ICY BOX IB-PL500D Set, dass uns für unseren Artikel zur Verfügung steht, besteht aus zwei 500 MBit Adaptern.

Everything from Rocket Launchers to Dancing Clowns are available as a USB peripheral these days. Most of us keep our USB devices within arm's length, but there are times where a little more distance is desirable. That's the case for the average consumer; the commercial or industrial user has a tougher life. They have Rocket Launchers and Dancing Clowns too, but they're the full-sized versions. You can bet the computers which control them are located more than 5 meters away. That's the reason for today's article; what to do when your USB device is 300 feet away from your PC? You find a device like the Icron USB Ranger 2211, and a big spool of Cat 5 Ethernet cable, and you hook it up, no problem! Just so you can be sure that there won't be any problems, Benchmark Reviews put the latest USB extender from Icron Technologies on the test bench. We also look under the hood, and show you the technology that's inside.

Guess when you have $56 billion and change in the vault in today’s economic environment you must be doing something right. Just wish our kids would quit contributing to the stash Apple is using to buy GPU (graphics processor unit) technology and game designer talent. A few years ago Apple decided all smartphones sucked (they’re not too hot on netbooks either). So they announced the step up from the iPod (they didn’t like those other MP3 players!)…the iPhone.

The PC gaming industry is changing. NVIDIA’s Project Shield and the upcoming Steambox and Steam’s Big Picture Mode are indications that PC gamers want to move into the living room. At CES we saw many different compact gaming systems from the likes of Alienware, Digital Storm and iBUYPOWER. Today we are getting our hands on one. iBUYPOWER’s Revolt is the newest compact gaming system in which iBUYPOWER is using their own custom designed compact case, and their own motherboard. This is something new as we mainly know iBUYPOWER for using other companies hardware in their custom systems. This system is small enough to fit in your home theater, can easily be taken to LAN parties and did I mention it looks awesome? Inside you will find a watercooled Z77 system, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 and 8GB of DDR3.

The Corei5 was just introduced about 2 weeks ago and iBuyPower was gracious enough to send me over a complete system for review. The Corei5 is the new budget CPU and I’ve put it up against my current system with a C2Q9650 in it that also has double the ram and a better performing video card. Will that make a difference, or is the new architecture of the Corei5 better overall? So I’m looking at this in terms of an upgrade from my own system, or any other C2Q system really
