ICY BOX IB-390 Series
Introduction:
ICY BOX storage solutions has been developing some great products in the computer peripherals market since 1999. These range from portable drive cases to stand-alone storage solutions, such as NAS devices and solutions, which attach to your PC with ease. In this review, I will be reviewing ICY BOX's IB-390 Series 3.5" portable drive with docking station. So first lets take a look at the features and specifications, and then dive into what you get and what kind of performance you can expect.

The IB-390 is very similar to the previously review ineo NA303US shown here. The IB-390 from ICY BOX comes with an all metal case to hold the SATA drive of the consumer's choice (hard drive not included). Included with the IB-390 are a USB 2.0 cable and an eSATA cable for connecting the device to any computer. Just like the NA303US, the IB-390 also comes with a docking station which is mounted in a 5.25" drive bay in your PC. Of the two products, I prefered the IB-390's design for the docking station which has a handle used to unseat the drive case from the docking station where the ineo has a pressure clip, made out of a cheaper plastic, which looks like it would break over time or if it were abused.
