Features for Seamless Integration
Each bay of the ExpressCage MB038SP-B is equipped with its own indicator light, providing clear notifications of hard drive activity. Soft-green LEDs make it easy to sense drive usage without straining your eyes.

The locking latch support for both 7-pin SATA and 15-pin power connectors ensures secure connections that will never slip out of place (requires cable with supporting locking latch features).

Never lose track of which drive goes where. Individual numbered drive ID labels let you maintain order of your drives in RAID arrays. The drive labels can be easily re-ordered, or removed entirely for a cleaner look.
