  Powerline Adapters by ICY BOX

High-Speed network straight from the socket

• Ethernet-Connection (RJ45)

• Up to 200/500 Mbit/s bandwidth *

• AES 128 Bit encryption

• Ready for use without
   software-installation (Plug & Play)

• Energy efficient: < 1 watt in
   standby mode

• Very small dimensions

 
       
  Plug in, Set, Go!

Wherever no additional network cable should be laid – as a subsequent cable installation would come along with large construction efforts – or thick walls and multiple floors make
a WLAN impossible/ unstable, the new SUPERmini powerline adapters from ICY BOX are an excellent option.

Expand the network within a maximum range of 300 meters stable and comfortable on the power grid and thanks to the practical, pass-through outlet (IB-PL250/550) no slot for another device is lost. Even with plugged in "power guzzlers" such as a dryer or water heater the built-in electrical noise filter ensures consistently high performance and signal strength of the adapter.

User-friendly installation – easy as child’s play
The installation is very easy – just plug the adapters into the power outlet, connect one adapter to the network, done! The network will be built within a few seconds via the households power supply. Thanks to the driverless (plug & play) installation it is ready to use immediately and can be expanded up to 8 (IB-PL500/550) or even 64 (IB-PL200/250) Powerline adapters.

Compatible and eco-friendly
The ICY BOX adapters are naturally compatible with all popular 200/500 Mbit/s adapters of other brands and are extremely energy-efficient, since they consume in operation not more than 4 watts and in standby mode even consistently less than 1 watt.

Jerk-free and guaranteed uninterrupted
Thanks to the fast connection with up to 200 resp. 500 Mbit/s bandwith* current computer games in multiplayer mode can be played as well as multimedia content such as HD movies will be streamed easily over the Powerline network. The Quality of Service function (QoS) controls the data traffic and the available bandwidth will be allocated depending on the requirements and prioritized so that the preferred application is always available in the highest quality.

Safety ex works – even for the little ones
The integrated power socket is naturally equipped with a child-proof lock, so that an electric shock is prevented even if it is not used. Ensuring that all sensitive data in the network are really safe, all ICY BOX adapters already come with a pre-set and extremely secure 128-bit AES encryption.

ICY BOX Powerline Models
The Powerline adapters IB-PL200, PL250-IB and the IB-PL500 are available now at extremely low introductory prices as starter kits (consists of two adapters) as well as single items, the IB-PL550 follows at the end of February.


* The indicated transfer rate is a maximum value. The achievable data transfer rate can be lower and is amongst others dependent on the structural environment of the building.

  ICY BOX: The Appropriate Frame For the iPhone 4S, Too

• IB-i042 in black or silver
• IB-i043
• IB-i044
• IB-i041 with silicone
   bumper inside (available November)
 
       
  Buying a new iPhone 4S brings fun. Just as enjoyable is that most of the aluminium protection frames by ICY BOX are in line with the ports of the new iPhone 4S. So nobody who wants to protect or individualize her iPhone with a stylish and solid aluminium frame has to wait .

At all ports the apertures are wide enough for the original Apple plugs. The sometimes somewhat bulky plugs of other manufacturers might be too large.

Why do these aluminum frames look so great? Why do they feel so strong? Design, the tight fit, is the first answer. The second one is: material and workmanship. As the aluminium is to protect it is strong, not only great-looking. And it is anodized, not just painted. First, this contributes to the great look. Second, the subtle apertures for the plugs and the screws can’t be narrowed by excess paint.

IB-CAM2003
IP-camera, dome-type, for indoors
Sensor: 1.3MP 1/2.7" CMOS
Day and night function
 
       
  Die ICY BOX IP-cameras are surveillance cameras with excellent optical features. More than that, they have properties which make them ideal for the security of valuable goods on a top-level.

The combination of an extraordinary sensor chip, 1/2,7“ (CMOS), 1,3 mega-pixels and a highly light-intensive 1/1,8 zoom lens – 0.5 lux are sufficient – provides a wide area of use with great sharpness and resolution – 1280 x 1024. The outdoor model IB-CAM2002 is weatherproof according to IP66.

The extensive event management provides for an active motion surveillance. IR lamps, spot lights and acoustic alarm and more can be activated. Notification is by email or FTP. The software manages up to 16 cameras, provides live pictures, stores recordings and plays them when needed.

With the power switch IB-POE254 and the injector IB-POE101 you get more than just a data connection to your cameras. These also get power. Power, that isn’t only used for the cameras, but also if necessary for lighting or an alarm siren.

  IB-MP3011Plus - Better Than Excellent?

• Aluminium enclosure
• Powerful Media Chip RealTek RTD1185 inside
• Supports 3.5" SATA HDD up to 2 TB capacity
• USB 3.0 interface to PC
• Silent operation – fan-less design
• LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
 
       
  Good or even excellent, that was the appraisal of its predecessor. What is different, what is even better with the new IB-MP3011Plus? What does the Plus in the name of the new network-multimedia player stand for? It is based on the Realtek chip RTD1185 which is employed by ICY BOX for the first time. It maxes out a lot of what an HD TV set or a good sound system offer for movie and music enthusiasts.
• Audio performance
Being completely up to date, the IB-MP3011Plus supports the following stereo downmixes: Dolby Digital AC3 5.1, Dolby TrueHD 7.1, DTS Digital Surround 5.1, AAC 7.1. These are complemented by the corresponding surround formats as well as Dolby Digital Plus 7.1. Thus the new IB-MP3011Plus is a great player for the latest first class products of the dream factories.
• Webbrowser
Where do you find music and videos, series and movies? In the Internet. With the new web browser you are no longer dependent on the stuff you have already stored. Now you take your choices in the WWW. And the YouTube app provides a better access to the service. By the way, YouTube on the big screen is much better an experience than on the monitor of the PC. Not to mention a world class sound system. That will pay off at the latest when you use the Shoutcast web radio.
• Controls
You can either use the original remote control or a smart phone or tablet with active Wi-Fi as remote control. You can even use a keyboard, either connected by USB cable or per RF (USB dongle needed).
• Full HD
It should be the standard today. With the IB-MP3011Plus it is the standard. Just like all the common video containers and formats.
• 3D
IB-MP3011Plus supports 3D (SbS, TaB).
• Network protocols
FTP and NFS have been added.
• Apropos network
As a network player the IB-MP3011Plus can be integrated into a network (LAN or Wi-Fi with appropriate dongle). It can retrieve data from computers and servers via UPnP. With an HDD inside the player becomes a server, too, to use with Samba. Whatsoever, the new 1 Gb/s LAN interface will surely be embraced.
• Subtitles and languages
The IB-MP3011 comes in a truly multi-cultural and cosmopolitan manner.

  IB-288StU3Eb-H - Faster, Higher, Nicer.

• USB 3.0
• Firewire 800
• HDD height up to 12,5 mm

 
       
  Sure, the Olympic Spirit made a contribution to this external case for a 2.5“ HDD. The Firewire 800 port makes data traffic from and to a Mac faster. A USB 3.0 port provides speed when one’s dealing with a PC. Using a Mac, USB 3.0 the port works with USB 2.0 equipment. The HDD might be higher than normal–up to 12.5 mm–so there can be more memory–up to 1 TB. Nicer is impossible.

ICY BOX IB-250StU3-BH: Enclosure for HDDs with Heights of 9.5 and 12.5 mm – With USB 3.0
You have to open it and close it anyway when inserting the HDD. That’s the right opportunity to choose the frame with a height fitting the height of the HDD, either 9.5 or 12.5 mm. Thus you don’t have to keep ahead another enclosure of the other size.

ICY BOX IB-351StU3-B: With USB 3.0 up to Date
Aluminium planes dissipating heat, knurled-head screws for mounting without tools. From its earliest day ICY BOX IB-351 has set the standards. Now this enclosure for a 3.5" HDD is also available with the fast USB 3.0. Did anybody say aging meant slowing?

  Islands of Simplicity in a Complex World

• New RAID-enclosures by RAIDON

• with USB 3.0, FireWire 800
   and eSATA

• for two HDDs:
   RAIDON GR3630-WSB3

• for four HDDs:
   RAIDON GR5630-WSB3
 
       
  Proverbial are the durability and reliability of Raidon products due to solid materials and thorough manufacturing. Additionally, here come even more simplicity and ease. Connect, switch on, set adjustments, put into operation, forget. That’s how simple it should be. That’s how simple it is with a RAIDON GR3630-WSB3.

(1) Connect

With the Raidon GR3630-WSB3 external data transmission comes in three (!) flavours: USB 3.0, Firewire 800, and eSATA. That’s the most complicated stuff at the beginning. USB 3.0 is the fastest and most universal connection. With a partner capable of USB 3.0 it is up to 5 GBit/s fast, theoretically. As it is downward compatible it also works together with USB 2.0 plugs, motherboards etc., but only in USB 2.0 speed. FireWire 800 (1394b) is usually the fastest connection to a Mac. Moreover, you can use it to build daisy chains of several HDDs. eSATA often is a fast connection to NAS devices and PCs. Make your choice. Put in HDDs. Switch on.

(2) Set adjustments

Formatting. When this is done the drive-icon will appear on the screen. GR3630-WSB3 cooperates with the Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Chose RAID level. RAID 1 is set by default. That means all data are mirrored from HDD A to HDD B. Chose RAID 0 and you have the maximum storage capacity plus faster processing. More features contributing to simplicity. Built-in power supply. Optical and acoustic alert in the case of HDD failure, fan failure or overheating. Auto-rebuild. Hot swappable tray module provides HDD for easy installation.

(3) Forget

That way you can work for months and years. As there also is this really imperturbable reliability of a RAIDON RAID enclosure. Even as it is not really brand new we shortly have to mention the also new RAIDON RAID enclosure GR5630-WSB3. It follows the same philosophy of simplicity. It is made for four HDDs. RAID 5 is set by default and this is without alternative. All other features are like those of the GR3630-WSB3.

Spring is Coming. The Horn Mounts a Bike.

•  Amplifies iPhone/iPod
   speaker on 13 dB

• Attached to the handle bar
   simply with a
   hook-and-pile-fastener

• No external power needed

 
       
  New: Bike mounting for the iPhone, with amplifier, without electricity, without earphones

Great idea: amplify the sound of an iPhone 4 without using electronics. Bone horn works like the horn of a phonograph. It amplifies the sound by 13 dB. After the version for the desk, we now introduce the Bone Horn for the bike, the Horn Bike.

Horn Bike is attached to the handle bar simply with a hook-and-pile-fastener. It is made of silicone, too. Also the upper rim of the iPhone is fastened. Thus the iPhone is safely attached to the handle bar even on rough trails. Hard bumps are softened by the silicone. Horn Bike is starting in two colours: black and blue.

The best trails for Horn Bike are where the environment is rather quiet, say in nature. Don’t ride too fast or the air flow will be too loud in your ears. A relaxed ride through fields and forests will be ideal to enjoy Horn Bike.

Particularly in this environment where orientation can be difficult, navigation through an iPhone app might be required. Here it pays that Horn Bike doesn’t need electric power.

Where driving using headphones is not permitted Horn Bike is a fine fine-free alternative.

The new ICY BOX IB-NAS6220 combines what commonly exists in separation: store your own data; enjoy your own data like movies and music wherever the Internet is available; confer rights to use while maintaining the control.

The NAS6220 has space for two 3.5" SATA HDDs with up to 2 TB. All data can be made available to the home network and are thus accessible through the Samba server. Also the printer server can be shared. For the installation you don’t need special IT skills. If you can use a computer you are also fine with the NAS6220.

Do you want to enjoy your movies and music even when you are not at home? In the past you had to copy the data and to carry them with you or you had to place them onto an Internet platform. The former was inconvenient, the latter was unsafe. With NAS6220 you enjoy on an own website music or movies you have stored safely at home.

When you want to share your music and movie enjoyment you can confer individual rights. Thus your data will remain safely behind your firewall.

Referring to "safety": With RAID 1 you can secure your data by mirroring ("makes assurance double sure"). With RAID 0 or BIG you can use even the last byte of the memory. Anyway, you can utilize the One-Touch-Backup. That’s as much safety as you will not find on any social web platform.

With the new ICY BOX IB-NAS6220 you can share the joys of music and movies without hesitation.

NAS for 1x 3.5" SATA HDDs with
Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)


• Up to twice as fast as comparable
   NAS due to its Real-Time
   Operating System

• For home and small office networks

• Easy configuration via web browser

• Supports 1x 3,5" SATA HDDs
   up to 2 TB

• Host link via Ethernet or
   USB interface possible

• 6 Servers in one
 
       
  Double Speed by Means of Real-Time Operating System

In this ICY BOX something has come true which usually is a topic of discussions in many industries as well as in management training: streamlining and simplification of processes. The user of a network server benefits from a very fast NAS. Approximate value: with Samba in a Gigabit network twice as fast as with similar hardware but with "usual" OS.

What is so special with an RTOS (real-time operating system) to make the new ICY BOX so fast? It is a charac-teristic of an RTOS to prioritize important tasks and to postpone less important routines. Imagine you are approaching a sales desk and the sales clerk is NOT talking on the phone with his wife about what to bring home for dinner
("less important routine"). Only your order is important, it is prioritized and processed without any interruption and thus finished in half time.

The ICY BOX has a bay for a 3.5" SATA HDD up to 2 TB, can operate in the Gigabit LAN and employs an Oxford  OXE 810SE chip with 367 MHz. Thanks to the RTOS it achieves speeds up to 50 MBit/s reading which is twice as fast as possible with a "usual" Linux OS under otherwise comparable conditions.

Multimedia
High transfer rates are in demand especially for multimedia data. With the ICY BOX everything fits. For it has UPnP-AV. With a multimedia player or a games console with DLNA like the Xbox 360 or the PS3 you can play multimedia data stored on the NAS on a TV set.

Even Without Network
Also as an external HDD enclosure the IB-NAS5310 is one of the fastest due to its USB 3.0 interface. Thus it will pay off to take the NAS simply with you and connect it to a computer at some other place.

Design and Built
The robust aluminium case and the upright posture enable an effective dissipation of heat. The device doesn't need a fan. Thus you don't have to hide it in the cabinet because of noise. Interfaces: Gigabit LAN, USB 3.0, USB 2.0 for a printer.

Price
This particularly fast NAS comes with a particularly streamlined price: Euro 89.00 (recommended, incl. VAT).

  IB-Safe226
with AES-256 Encryption

• External enclosure for 
   one 2.5" SATA HDD

• AES-256-Bit real-time
   hardware encryption

• Highest US government 
   standard "top secret"
 
       
  The ICY BOX for most Delicate Data

Public authorities, tax accountants, CPAs, and hospitals – only a few examples for a realm where customer data are highly confidential. Particularly awkward is carrying such data e. g. on an external HDD. For users, who want to protect the data entrusted, here is a safe, practical as well as reasonably priced solution.

In the new ICY BOX IB-SAFE226, an external enclosure, an AES-256 encryption protects the data on the 2.5” SATA HDD. The user needs a physical key and the enclosure with its special chipset. To decrypt the HDD he needs the same key and an appropriate enclosure. Without the key: nothing. So you better do not keep the key too close to the enclosure.

Each key is individual. Only two of each are made. Combined with the chipset of the IB-SAFE226, it blocks the starter in the cache of the HDD. So you can leave the HDD unwatched for a moment. It only has be encrypted.

As the hardware is encrypted, the speed of the data transfer is unaffected. AES-256 means Advnaced Encryption Standard. The algorithm has a block size of 128 bits and a key length of 256 bits. AE-256 is approved by the US government for “top secret” information.

What is helpful for professional users is also useful in the private area. Eventually it’s all about privacy.

The recommended retail price of euro 49.00 including tax is close to nothing compared to the priceless value of some data.

The new ICY BOX multi-media player IB-MP3011 is based on the chip-set Realtek 1073 which is notoriously quite capable: Full HD, DTS and Dolby Digital, WMA and AAC downmixes, all common containers and formats are supported. The differences which make a difference are found somewhere else.

1. Dolby Digital True HD
As the chip-set ist he latest version, Realtek 1073 DD(C+), even downmixes of Dolby Digltal (7.1) true HD are possible. Great news for movie enthusiasts.

2. Without a Fan
Even when the IB-MP3011 is used with a 3.5” SATA HDD inserted no fan is necessary for cooling. It could be noisily annoying particularly in the most suspenseful or delicate moments. The solid aluminium enclosure and the sophisticated architecture of the interior grant optimum heat dissipation. Outside hint: the cool look of the IB-MP3011 in its matte black metal case.

3. A Little Network Server
With the facility of an HDD to be inserted come some goodies. A Samba and a DLNA server for data access as well as a BitTorrent® client for downloads. Thus this media player is almost a NAS, almost. We don’t want to exaggerate.

It will be the price which will distinguish the ICY BOX IB-MP3011. So it is very good.

"HyBrid Runner"

• Internal RAID-System
   for an SSD and
   a 2.5" SATA HDD

• Hot Swap

• Auto Rebuild

• HDD height 9.5mm
  

 
       
  The Best of Both Worlds

SATA HDD and SSD in one enclosure. In this new HyBrid RunneR enclosures both play out their advantages to minimize the disadvantages of each other.

The HDD is good for virtually unlimited accesses, its access speed is not fulfilling. The solid state disk (SSD) is different. Here the access speeds are enormous, but life expectance isn’t. Or you have to pay really much money. Consider a „normal“ SSD is already expensive.

As HDDs usually have more storage capacity than SSDs there remains an area on the HDD which is not used in the RAID. This is indicated as a second drive whereas the partitions of both drives used in the RAID are indicated as drive one.

  Eventually Fitting Storage Solutions for Mac Users


Apple keeps the range of peripherals extremely slim. That means unfulfilled wishes particularly of professional users. Keyword: data storage. Working on huge amounts of pictures, music files or videos usually makes the deployment of several HDDs necessary. Often simultaneously. Users of ICY BOX HDD enclosures are particularly flexible as they can change HDDs quickly and can use the fast Firewire connections of Macs.


These HDD enclosures by ICY BOX have been available for Mac users for some weeks now. They come with space for one, two or for HDDs, the latter ones offer RAID.  The RAID levels of the ICY BOX IB-RD3264-USE2 are RAID 5, 5+HotSpare, 1, 0 and 1+0. The aluminium body fulfills three tasks. It looks good, it is solid and it keeps the interior cool which takes the heat from the two 80 mm fans. The two Firewire 800 interfaces and the Firewire 400 port are the preferred connectors to the Mac. Furthermore there are a USB 2.0 and an eSATA port.


The same array of interfaces comes with the ICY BOX IB-RD3262-USE2 which is for two 3.5” SATA HDDs. Accordingly the RAID levels are 1, 0 and JBOD. ICY BOX IB-326USE2 is for a single HDD and meets a further demand. Its handy size makes the HDD mobile.

These enclosures collaborate with one another in many ways. First, because their HDD tray, “SmartGuider”, is deployable in every other enclosure of this series. Furthermore they can be linked together as a “daisy chain”, which looks like a serial connection but is technically a BUS connection where every drive is addressable individually. And you need only one port at your Mac.


Back to size. Even handier are the two versions for a 2.5” HDD. Less size leads to a lesser number of interfaces. The inexpensive IB-226StU-Wh offers a USB 2.0 port, IB-226USE2-Wh offers additionally a Firewire 400 and a Firewire 800 interface. Both models fit perfectly into the world of Macs with their white mirror finish.


Mac users like to appear like with no wishes unfulfilled. Now they can support that appearance more substantially.

  IB-AC603
SATA to USB Adapter for 2.5" HDDs

• Adapter SATA II to USB 2.0

• Hard plastic

• Protection against dust and impact
 
       
  Brilliantly simple. Simply brilliant.

Brilliantly simple.
You cannot use any 2.5“ HDD as an external drive by simply connecting its interface, today usually of the SATA II type, directly to the PC or multi-media player. These devices typically demand a USB connection. The really simple solution: an adapter from SATA II to USB to connect HHD and PC. That’s the one part of the ICY BOX IB-AC603.

Simply brilliant.
The other part is a solid plastic body protective against dust which houses the HDD as well as the adapter. Thus the HDD has triple protection: at the site of operation, on the way, at the storage location. At the site of operation: protection against dust and impact is particularly needed if the HDD is in use for a longer time or en route where the working environment is not always optimum. On the way: whether in the laptop bag or in the handbag, it’s protected. At the storage location: with this protection that may even be a drawer with a lot of rummaging around. Bet, your HDD recognizes brilliance simply immediately.

  External RAID enclosure with USB 3.0. The first?

RaidSonic was fast, once again. After all the point of USB 3.0 is speed. First we brought a couple of one-bay HDD enclosures and a docking station with the connecting standard of the future, USB 3.0. Now here is the first external enclosure for two 3.5" SATA HDDs with RAID and USB 3.0. RAID functions are RAID 1, 0 and JBOD.

Those who are used to protecting their data with RAID now can benefit from the speed of USB 3.0. And some of those who so far shied away from data protection will certainly join after losing the speed case.

The ICY BOX IB-RD4320StU3 comes with a lot of good features. Status of the HDDs is displayed by LEDs on the front. The ICY BOX has an on/off switch and a very convenient RAID function setting. The solid aluminium body keeps cool and disburdens the fan which is very silent anyway.

  New HDD Multimedia Player with HDMI:
ICY BOX IB-MP304S-B Crowd Pleasing

What for whom? Who needs what kind of multimedia player today? The bulk of videos, music and photographs stored on hundred thousands of hard drives is definitely not in HD quality.

Even the relatively few users who own HD end devices watch TV programs and DVDs in conventional formats. The broad majority doesn’t even have such devices on the shopping list. Not surprising after a look at the prices.

For this majority of users RaidSonic has made the new ICY BOX IB-MP304S-B.

To play videos it offers all traditional (non HD) formats like VCD, VOB, AVI, MPEG1/2, DIVX3.X-5.X, XviD up to 720p (upscaling). There are the common interfaces Component and Composite. Scart is possible with adaptor. Those with an HD end device will use the HDMI output as well as the included HDMI cable and enjoy the slightly easier cabling.

Those who have lots of multimedia files and who are reluctant with the HD standard they will be pleased with the ICY BOX IB-MP304S-B HDD multimedia player. And they don’t pay for things they can’t use.

  Start with ICY BOX into a Superfast Future
Two New ICY BOX Enclosures with USB 3.0 and a PCI-E-Card for USB 3.0

The new ICY BOX IB-250StU3-B is an external enclosure for a 2.5” SATA HDD. The larger ICY BOX IB-318StU3-B is for a 3.5“ SATA HDD. Both offer USB 3.0 with a theoretical data transfer speed of 5.0 GBit/s. That’s some ten times the USB 2.0 speed of 480 MBit/s. Those who are used to store greater amounts of data like from Blu-ray discs will appreciate an ICY BOX with USB 3.0.

Precondition is a USB 3.0 cable as well as a host with a USB 3.0 controller. As computers with USB 3.0 controllers are still quite rare, ICY BOX offers a solution that provides that controller on a PCI-E-card. It is capable to connect printers, USB-sticks and the like too. Thus there is no need to wait for those new computers. As USB 3.0 is downward compatible it is possible to connect devices which offer “only” USB 2.0.

The age of the superfast USB has begun.
That means that further ICY BOX products with USB 3.0 will follow soon. The next ones will be a docking station for 2.5 and 3.5” HDDs and a host adapter for laptops.

  ICY BOX IB-MP102: New Multi-media Player with DVB-T Tuner
Santa Carries It Along All the Time

You might know these situations when you would appreciate this new media player: commuting by bus or train or travelling on a sleigh. Instead of old news printed hours ago you can enjoy fresh TV programs or be entertained by your own video and audio collection.

This new ICY BOX has a 3.5“ display, AV and audio exits as well as a speaker. It has a slot for SD cards, a mini-USB port and a DVB-T tuner. This outlines how great this small gadget really is.

It plays videos, music and photos either from an SD card with up to 32 GB or from a USB drive or digitally received by the DVB-T tuner. The 3.5” display is fine for the mobile presentation of videos and photos. Videos may come in the common formats mpg, .dat, .vob, .avi, (XviD, DivX4.0/5.0, MPEG4 ASP).

Connect headphones or speakers with a 3.5 mm plug. Here we have reached the topic sound. It comes in the formats .mp3, .wav and .wma. Imagine the USB drive is a 2.5” HDD in an ICY BOX enclosure and you will see how much sound entertainment you can carry along easily. The lithium-ion polymer battery lets the show go on for hours, independently from a power line.
In stationary use the ICY BOX can feed the TV screen via its AV exit or pump volume into the stereo via audio plug. You even can record radio and TV programs to SD cards.

But the principal use might be when commuting or travelling. Rumors say that Santa carries the new ICY BOX IB-MP102 along because he doesn’t want to stare at the reindeer’s backside for hours.

  New HDD Enclosures with
Fast eSATA Ports and more Useful Features

Something very interesting is happening in the center of the ICY BOX brand. That’s where you find our external HDD enclosures. Today we like to present some novelties from that area to you.

Two external enclosures for a single 3.5" SATA HDD, a RAID system for two 3.5" HDDs, and for 2.5" HDDs there is a new single and a new double enclosure as well as a trayless backplane for two HDDs.

One by one:

NEW: ICY BOX IB-366
Fast Connection to a Fast Processor
This enclosure for an external 3.5" HDD provides a particularly fast data connection with the computer due to its eSATA interface.

Especially if you work with today’s multi-core processors you are not willing to lose processing speed at the interface to the external drive. Beside the eSATA there is also a USB port. Also the changing of the HDD happens as fast and easy as you like it.

That’s because of the patented Easy Swap® technology. Open the hatch and the HDD is moved out of the enclosure a bit, just good to grasp it and pull it out. When you mount the HDD the hatch pushes it for the last one or two centimeters and presses it on the SATA connector.

  The Answer to the Netbook Storage Dilemma: ICY BOX IB-DK210 Serie
Enclosure for HDD and DVD Drive with Adjustable Fan


The decision for a netbook is a decision against a large HDD and a DVD drive. A decision you will not regret in more than 90 percent of the netbook’s use. But the day will come when you will prefer to be out there with a complete little workstation.

Here comes relief for netbook owners. Here comes  the Netbook Extension Tablet, a clever new ICY BOX, into play. It looks like a cool netbook itself, shiny black and slim.

Inside there is space for a 2.5" SATA HDD and a CD/DVD drive. A mini USB interface connects them with the outside world, which is the netbook. The size of 9” is   ideal.  The netbook is simply placed on top of the Netbook Extension Tablet.

A Cool Team and a Fresh Breeze

The Netbook Extension Tablet comes in two versions. In any case you have to insert an HDD of your own. With the DVD drive you have a choice. Either you want to build in your own DVD drive (version IB-DK210) or you want to have it built in (version IB-DK210-OD). Anyway, now the netbook has a lot of additional storage and a DVD drive.

To avoid overheating of the ICY BOX when working it has a 40 mm fan. In its basic position the fan pushes the air along the drives to the outside. Or you flap it upwards. Then it moves the air through the gap between netbook and ICY BOX. Thus the two of them keep cool.

5bay Dual Channel SATA/SAS Backplane

• 5x 3.5 SATA or SAS HDD in 3x 5.25 bay

• 2x host connector (dual channel)
  for each SAS HDD

• Hard disk capacity not limited

• SATA host interface 3.0 Gbit/s

• HDD tray with key lock
 
       
  NEW: Backplanes from ICY BOX
IB-553, IB-554 und IB-555 for three, four and five 3.5” SATA and SAS Hard Drives

Starting this week the only backplanes RaidSonic offers are the new backplanes of the ICY BOX brand. The reason for this is simple. The ICY BOX IB-553, IB-554 und IB-555 have outstanding quality, at astonishingly low prices.

Bottom line: better performance for the same money.

So, what are the qualities of the new ICY BOX backplanes?
The first impression: compact and robust. The small backplane for three HDDs needs only two 5.25” bays, the larger ones take three.

Material and build quality show ICY BOX did not make any compromise for the backplanes.

For toughest server service!
These three HDD-Backplanes have proven their strengths in severe server duty. They take in SATA HDDs as well as SAS HDDs. The advantage for the user: when purchasing the backplanes he may be undecided about the standard of the interfaces, SATA or SAS. He can later change from SATA to SAS smoothly.

The advantage for dealerships: the combination of SATA and SAS in one ICY BOX reduces the storage space needed. SAS makes faster and more stable data transfer possible. In the “dual channel mode” the transfer speed is doubled. Or the second channel is used for a second host which can access the drive simultaneously.

These new backplanes are made for the demanding duty in RAID systems. There is Hot Swap® as well as Plug & Play to change hard drives quickly while the system is operating.
Temperature control follows the trusted ICY BOX concept.

The aluminium parts dissipate the heat. Support comes from an 80-mm fan, reliable and silent. Should the temperature rise too high in the case, there will be audible and visible signals. You can set the temperature limit that triggers the alarm.

All parts are designed for huge mechanical strain. The trays and their locks are extremely well fitting, they slide smoothly. The aluminium parts are electropolished. That makes them more resistant and more durable.

NAS with LCD and EasySwap®


• For home and office networks

• LCD for basic information
  like IP address, temperature
  and free disk space

• Number of users and
  groups not limited

• Easy configuration
  via web browser

• Supports two 3.5 SATA
  HDDs up to 1.5 TB
 
       
  The NAS with Extra Functionality
ICY BOX IB-NAS3221: new NAS with RAID and web server

Which features of a NAS with two bays for 3.5”SATA HDDs and a price tag of 165 Euro* should be taken as granted? And which should be considered included extras?

The new ICY BOX IB-NAS3221 offers a lot of extras. Number one, there is the display of the IP address and other important data, number two, the Easy Swap® mechanism and, number three, the web server.

The Display
Displaying the IP address pays off every time you open the web browser, i. e. to set the configuration of the NAS particularly if there is no constant IP address for the NAS. Furthermore the remaining capacity of the HDDs is displayed as well as the temperature in the case and the fan speed, operating time, date and time.

Easy Swap®
To change an HDD just move the slide, the door will open and the HDD will come out. Put in another HDD, close the door. Ready. You don’t need a screwdriver.

Web server on your desk
If you run your own website or blog and you don’t want to commit your data to the server of a provider, you will embrace the built-in web server of the ICY BOX IB-NAS3221. This extra is accompanied by some smaller extras like software for blogs and photo albums.

Now the basics
Gigabit Ethernet, USB, aluminium case and a temperature controlled fan, RAID 0, 1, NRAID and JBOD - for us these are basics. Too many? Samba and NFS servers are essential to operate in a network. The FTP server for remote access is definitely eligible in these times with mobile devices for Internet access. And the DHCP server of the NAS3221 gets into action if there is no router with such a server available in the network. One-touch backup should be essential and with the ICY BOX IB-NAS3221 it is.

The printer server certainly belongs to the upscale basics if not to the extras. Just as the UPnP AV multi-media server, which comes as a 30 days test version of the Twonky® Media, as well as Bonjour and iTunes® support. In this price class you usually can’t bargain for a the BitTorrent® client. While downloading with the computer switched off and consuming zero power you can save the purchase price of the ICY BOX IB-NAS3221 within a few months.

The new ICY BOX IB-NAS3221 sets a benchmark in the category „NAS for money“.

  ICY BOX IB-NAS4210
Gigabit NAS for 3,5" SATA HDD,
7in1 Server, OTB-Function

• For home and office
  networks

• Number of users and
  groups not limited

• Easy configuration
  via web browser

• Supports one 3.5”
  SATA HDD up to 1 TB

• Gigabit Ethernet –
  network

 

 
       
  ICY BOX introduces the NAS which is an external enclosure with high intelligence.

It takes in one hard drive disk (up to 1 TB). The configuration within the network is easily done via a web interface by a browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera.

First the ICY BOX IB-NAS4210 proves its superior intelligence by versatility. With server functions which fulfill nearly every need. Thanks to Samba the IB-NAS4210 becomes the server within Windows or Mac networks. For Unix or Linux there is NFS.

Access from any place in the world is made possible by the FTP server. DHCP handles the network configuration automatically. The print server gives every user in the network access to the printer. For multi-media tasks the IB-NAS4210 has UP'n'P AV – a 30 days test version of the TwonkyMedia media server is included – and iTunes® support. Have you counted? The ICY BOX IB-NAS4210 offers seven servers.

A BitTorrent® client does not only delight movie enthusiasts. You can choose from four file systems: EXT2, EXT3, FAT32 and NTFS. With NTFS you can connect the NAS with USB to the network. An HDD encryption using 128 AES is possible. If the EXT3 file system is used, a quota can limit the disk space for every user. One-Touch Backup saves data from an external disk or USB stick by simply pressing a button. Data-transfer rates up to 30 MBytes/sec are possible, depending on the individual network.

With its built-in intelligence the IB-NAS4210 is almost a little computer. Compared to usual computers or servers it consumes much less power, thus saves money and gives the environment a break. You can download movie files (BitTorrent® client!) without a computer activated.

  IB-290/390 Series
External Case for 2.5"and 3.5" HDD


• Full aluminium construction

• Combo host USB2.0 + eSATA

• Data transfer up to 3Gbit/s
   by eSATA

• Supports: Windows 98/ME/
   2000/XP/Vista, OS 9.1

• Hot Swappable
 
       
  As Easy as Drag 'n' Drop

Easy to handle  - fast data transfer –
secure transport on 2.5“- and 3.5“-hard drive-disks - with optional dockingsstation

Users of an additional hard drive-disk who employ greater amounts of data on several PCs
which are not interconnected in a network will instantly appreciate this combination of
an external  enclosure and a docking station. The outstanding features: easy and convenient
handling, fast data transfer, and secure transport.
The docking station ensures the workplace is neat and tidy – no extra space, no extra cable
is needed beside your PC. The SATA-interface on the mainboard – or the extension card - is
good for transfer rates up to 3 Gbit/sec.

Push a button on the front of the docking station and the enclosure gently slides out. The
even surface - with discharged outputs for USB and eSATA - delivers convenience and
reliability. Mounting the HDD into the enclosure is perfectly easy. Two – as well
discharged clips – have to be turned out, and you can draw the carrier out of the enclosure.

It holds an HDD either of the SATA-1 or the SATA-2 type. Mount the HDD with two clips, push
the carrier into the enclosure, lock it with the first two clips – done.
The solid aluminium enclosure contributes to the security of the hard drive disk. Additionally
it has a cooling effect – fan unnecessary, and – third – it causes the precious haptic
appearance, supporting the clear and functional design.

Functional and simple, too, are the 
two LEDs which indicate power supply and HDD use. Bottom line: a typical ICY BOX product.
Purposeful, easy to use and good looking. Not talking about the attractive pricing.

  Stardom SF2010/SF2020
2,5" SSD RAID 1/NRAID Modul for
2 CF card, with SATA hostinterface

Features
• For usage in extreme working
   environment qualified

• Noiseless, shock prevention,
   lower power consumption,
   high/low temperature resistance,
   better reading comprehension

• Support SATA 1.5Gb/s
   Host Interface

• 2,5" SATA HD Type

 
       
  Capitalise on the advantages of CF cards. And more.

Now you can capitalize on the advantages of CF cards even better. Flash storage is fast, silent, shock and temperature resistant, and it keeps the cool. The new 2.5" SSD enclosure adds another advantage: the computer treats it as a usual hard drive disk. This, in combination with the fast access, enables its use for operating systems. The SATA interface sustains the speed advantage.

Other advantages like temperature tolerance or the shock resistance make the deployment in vehicles and machinery possible.

These additional application possibilities will lead to sinking prices for
CF cards. A good reason not to limit card capacity.

Displaying the Non-Digital Look

Guess what’s in this little case. Small cigars? Or a diary? Yes, kind of. The ICY BOX IB-283 is a portable enclosure for a 2.5” SATA hard disk drive. You can carry some hundred gigabytes of notes or data like music and movies between its leatherette topside and chrome-plated bottom.

Have a closer look and open the closure. A USB plug is integrated in the clip. The speed peculiar to USB, obtains a further meaning as you don’t have to look for a cable when you are going to connect the device to a computer.

The inner case of light metal protects the HDD. Then the IB-283 is a lot more than just look.

External 2,5" SATA HDD case
with Fingerprint; USB2.0
Hostinterface
 
       
  Stardom Staray S225-1S-B2 makes secret partition possible
Just like in the movies: access by finger print

 
In Hollywood movies it is the usual. In real life it is a real novelty: access to the sanctum is only for those who identify themselves by means of a fingerprint. You want to establish your own fingerprint-walled security zone?
With the new external HDD enclosure Stardom S225-1S-B2 of the "Staray line" it is easily done. It is called X-Zone and it
is a secret partition of the hard disk.

This secret character of the X-Zone is its most attractive feature. For unauthorised persons it is not even indicated.
Similarly it is not noticeable or readable with the HDD running in a different casing.
Thus unauthorised persons will not even be aware of the existence of the X-Zone on the hard drive.

Your personal data protection is easy to install: place a 2.5" HDD in the casing and connect it via USB cable to your computer.
Now you can define the sizes of the "public area" on the HDD and of the secret X-Zone. Scan your fingertip. A few clicks. Ready.

To get access you scan your fingertip again. All those who do not dispose of your fingerprint – and who does? –
will not get access to the data on the X-Zone of the hard drive.

Should you have burnt your fingers the secret partition is also accessible with a password. The transport package of the S225-1S-B2
serves as a stand for it and it accommodates to the USB cable. That’s the safe way.

Covering up in Style

Aren’t hard disks the libraries of our time, of the digital age?
With some distinctions. Those usually look less impressive and you can’t carry them with you.
As the ICY BOX IB-285 proves, you can do the latter easily. And you can do it in style now.

The IB-285 is a portable enclosure for a 2.5” SATA hard disk drive. It has the size of a pocket diary.
The light metal case inside the soft leatherette coating is a solid protection for the HDD.
The buckle turns out to be holding the USB plug. So the speed advantage of USB is not affected by
the search for a cable.

  ICY BOX IB-HD141
Media-switch

Key Features
• 4 ports In to 1 port Out
• HDMI standard version 1.3
• Full HDTV support -
  1080p resolution
• Channel changing via
  IR remote control
• Plug & Play
 
       
  Make Yourself Comfortable
Can one or two HD plug-ins spoil the multimedia pleasure? Yes, they can. If they are
too few to connect some of these: DVD-player, set-top box, HDTV sat-receiver, PC, video
camera, games console.
The solution of this problem comes with the HDMI-switch IB-HD141 from ICY BOX. It saves
the inconvenient walk from the sofa to the TV set or – even more troublesome – to its back.
You push a button and you easily enjoy the program from your preferred multimedia source.
The IB-HD141 has inputs for four HD sources and one output to the TV set. Three of the
inputs are located at the back of the IB-HD141. They are appropriate to devices which are
connected rather permanently like set-top box, HDTV sat-receiver, and DVD-player. The input
at the front side conveniently connects devices which are employed rather at various places
like DVD-player or video camera. The PC, too, usually is not permanently connected to the
TV screen.
Two colored LEDs provide the required information. The blue one shows the power status, the
green one indicates the chosen channel.
To deliver full HD quality the IB-HD141 supports HDMI 1.3 and HDTV with 1080p. Digital sound
is welcome in the standards of Dolby True HD, DTS-HD, DTS and more.

  A noble way of transporting Data.

A suit for your HDD as could be found at the finest haberdasher in town. Light alloy overlaid with leatherette.

People always seem to get nostalgic over the "good ole days" of personal computing, the less nostalgic of us however can't quite understand why. Days spent getting a game to work, then days more trying to get the sound to work.
Programs supplied on a dozen floppy disks. 300MB hard disks and 14" CRT screens with a curve like a soup bowl. Nope, I'm afraid that looking back does nothing for me but make me cringe.

PC users today (you knew it was coming) have never had it so good. Yes, I'm starting to sound like my grandfather, but at least there are enough PC users from my generation around to back up my assertions. Everything is cheaper, faster, smarter and, as a rule, half the size it was, well, apart from monitors anyway.

When I was saving to get myself a monstrously large 5.25" Seagate ST-225 way back when, I'd have suggested intensive psychiatric therapy for anyone foolish enough to suggest that one day I'd be storing 100GB of data on a 2.5" hard drive that's just 9mm deep. Strangely nobody ever did suggest that, at least not in quite so much detail.

The great thing about all this miniaturisation is that it opens up all kind of new possibilities, and in a world that seems to create important data just for the fun of it (what do we need it all for anyway?), data storage, backup and retrieval is suddenly critical.
