The Black Vortex MB174U3S-4SB gets its name from the whopping 120mm fan integrated in the unit, which allows it to efficiently cool your drives and increase HDD lifespan. The included 120mm fan effectively pulls cool air into the enclosure resulting in a lower overall temperature for your drives which prevents performance decrease from overheating disks. We've included an adjustable 3 settings fan switch (high, low, and off) to allow you more control over airflow, temperatures, and noise levels. The 120mm fan also features an adjustable built-in LED lighting that brilliantly Illuminates and provides an ambient blue color. It's a surefire way to grab the attention of everyone in the room.

Controlling the enclosure is simple and can be done by accessing the front of the enclosure. With brightness controls, the 3 different settings (high, low, and off) allows you to dim and brighten the LED fan with a simple touch. Fan controls allow you to adjust the airflow from high, low, and off, and the 120mm cooling fan can be easily replaced to an aftermarket 120mm fan with 3 pin connector.

Clean up is a breeze with the included removable dust filter that can easily be detached and rinsed within a matter of seconds. We've made the protruding handles removable if you're looking for a more minimalist design and we've designed this enclosure to be tough yet attractive.
