Today I have for review an Icy Box multi-drive NAS device, the IB-NAS4220-B. NAS is short for Network Attached Storage, and unlike a typical external hard drive enclosure which must be connected directly to a host computer in order to access, a NAS device uses a network client to allow access across a shared medium, like Ethernet.

We have to respect the Icy Box IB-MP303S-B for doing exactly what it says on the tin, but it's certainly nothing special. The lack of extra cables for decent video quality and a network port really means it loses out to other solutions. Simply put, there are too many other, more viable alternatives on the market for the cost of a decent hard drive and the Icy Box. It's a nice idea that will suit a few people, but the MP303S is not something that demands considerable attention from many.

As with many of the products in the accessories category, such as external enclosures, ill designed and cheap are far more prevalent attributes than well designed and quality made! Here at Benchmark Reviews we've seen our share of accessory components that weren't up to snuff, so we decided to take a closer look at what appears to be an intelligently designed and quality offering from the German company RaidSonic Technology; the ICY BOX IB-351StUS-B USB & eSATA external enclosure for 3.5" hard drives.

"Summer has come and passed, the innocent can never last. Wake me up, when September ends..." That's right people, it is September already. For those who are continuing to pursue their education, or just returned from summer holidays and getting back to work, here's a review just for you: A great looking 2.5" IDE hard drive enclosure. Why 2.5" IDE? Chances are that, if you are like me, you probably have some old laptops lying around. My old Dell Inspiron 8200 that died last year still has a fully functional 40GB 2.5" PATA disk. Removing it and putting it into an enclosure would prevent it from going to waste. Not only that -- with the Icy Box IB-220U-Wh, it would make it look better than ever before. What makes us say that? Even if you don't feel like reading today because of the lazy summer, check out the photos. The Icy Box IB-220U-Wh will even remind you of something very familiar. And that could be a good thing too!

The ICY BOX IB-861 does feature a four-port USB 2.0 hub but then pads out its CV with a 33-in-1 memory card reader, a Fire-wire port, an external 5 Volt and 12 Volt power jack, a mic, line in and headphone socket and a video in phono (RCA/Cinch) connector. Read on...

The Icybox IB-360 is part of a growing family of external storage solutions that take advantage of USB 2.0's fast 480Mbps bandwidth. And for anyone who has an old hard disk hanging around from a previous
upgrade and regularly needs to move large chunks of data around from PC to PC, or wants extra disk space but doesn't have any space left inside their machine, or needs some means of backing up their entire system, this is a relatively inexpensive way of doing it...
