With the feature to convert 3 x 5.25" slots into 4 x 3.5", the Black Vortex MB074SP-B allows for greater storage density by utilizing unused space. Each bay supports any type of 3.5" drive including SATA, SAS, or IDE interface. This functionality is very useful for power users that demand an abundance of storage capacity in their systems. The Black Vortex is also compatible with Icy Dock's 2.5" to 3.5" SSD / HDD converter so users can mount a 2.5" drive as well. If users need to mount two 2.5" drives in a single bay, they can utilize Icy Dock's EZ-Fit series SSD/HDD bracket to incorporate more storage density.

Icy Dock's EZ-Grip handles only requires two screws for installation. Once installed, users can effortlessly slide drives into in Black Vortex Cage, locking them firmly into place with the turn of a switch. The EZ-Grip handles are also compatible with Icy Dock's portable docks and HDD Adapters, such as the EZ-Dock Series and EZ-Adapter. Users can quickly remove their drives from the Black Vortex and insert them into the docking stations without having to remove the EZ-Grip handles.

The Black Vortex also includes a removable dust filter, which can easily be removed and cleaned by simply opening the cage door, pulling the filter out, shaking off the dust, and reinserting it back in.
