MODTHEBOX would like to thank Angela from Cremax USA Corporation
for sending the Cremax Icy Dock Bodyguard525 for review.
Introduction:
Hard drive cooling is critical for keeping data safe and in the past at MTB, we have showcased several
bay mounted devices that either achieve or fail in this task. While there are plenty of products
available for supplemental cooling, depending on your requirements most consumers require more than
standard air cooling for individual components. Cremax USA Corporation based out of Placentia, CA has a
strong background in designing quality RAID products. The company has recently shifted focus in terms
of developing new consumer based product line of hard drive multifunction devices. Today in the MTB Labs,
we will be evaluating the Icy Dock Bodyguard525, a multifunction device that will keep a hard drive
cool, while doubling as a simple fan control and temperature monitoring device.
Specifications:
The Icy Dock Bodyguard525 is one of many consumer based multifunction devices offered by Cremax. The
Icy Dock product line is available in six different configuration options. The Icy Dock Bodyguard525 is
the first in the product line to incorperate temperature and fan control. Here are some specifications
taken directly from the Cremax website:
