MODTHEBOX would like to thank Angela from Cremax USA Corporation for sending the Cremax Icy Dock Bodyguard525 for review.

Cremax USA Corporation

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:
