Question 1

Will this adapter permit me to mount my 2.5" SSD into the Icy Dock MB080U3S-1SB external enclosure?

Accepted Answer

This will not fit with the MB080U3S-1SB since this adapter accepts two drives. The connector will not be aligned with the connector inside the MB080U3S-1SB. You will have to buy converter such as MB882 or MB982 series that makes 1x 2.5" to 3.5" from ICYDOCK.

Question 2

I can not tell by the pictures. does this device adapt a SATA SSD drive to an IDE interface?

Accepted Answer

This device does not interact with the interface at all. It only allows for mounts 2.5" drives into 3.5" bays. So all it interacts with is the mounting surfaces. You can put any type of drive in that fits its form factor.

Question 3

Will this adapter position the SATA and Power in the right place for a hot-swap bay?

Accepted Answer

No

Question 4

Does thia adapter works with iMac?

Accepted Answer

This is just a bracket that fits in a 3.5 inch expansion bay. If your particular Mac has one free it will work. Don't forget you'll also need the ports free for your new hard drives you put inside the bracket.

Question 5
