Operates properly, carriages effortlessly swap. Good quality. Simple to accidentally install upside down. Not terribly intuitive.Locking mechanism seems a bit weak - not a priority for me. Haven't tried the hot swap. It just appears like a undesirable notion. Taking into consideration putting all challenging disks in these on my next method.

-Uncomplicated Install-Straightforward building-Surprising toughness -Only plastic , -Gets quite hot For this price there won't be a lot better. This was the easiest install for a caddy I have seen and all SATA drives i tested slid in perfectly. This is not made for laptop drives!

Immediately after my external HD backup died (drive is fine, just the Fantom controller board is non-functional, thank you for asking), this made it a lot less complicated to transfer information in between drives and replace an old drive with a not-so-old drive. I seriously like Ƒ) the ejector manage ƒ) the locking capability to avoid accidental release Ɠ) built-in 4-pin energy adapter so you don't require a SATA energy cable Ɣ) the door that covers the opening when no drive is installed. Haven't yet figured out how to do hot-swap, got a nasty Windows error the a single time I attempted. But this is not a huge deal for me.Requires a complete-size slot, so may possibly not be appropriate for smaller sized cases. I want much more!

Every thing works. Simple to extract and insert the drives. Noiseless. I like the spring loaded door that closes after removing the drive, retain it's hunting excellent when empty. none so far. It appears the energy light only turns on the fan and the light, the drive functions with or without having the power switch on. Doesn't have a key which I wanted when I purchased this. It does have a dial switch that locks the release lever in spot, but it's hard to turn the dial without having unlatching the release lever.

Performs as expectedHas power button so I can take the drive offline without having removing the carrierLever removal mechanism functions well Wish I could just acquire the carrier for swapping drives. I bought two for backups. Works as anticipated. Fan is a little louder than I expected but I have the bay powered off most of the time so it is not an problem.

The price is right, and its a lot much better than possessing to open your case up everytime you want to swap out 1 of your soon to be defective HDs. I purchased three of these to essentially fill up my case's five.25 bay doors, and they do a decent job of producing my case look pretty BA. Got a card reader for one particular of the three.five" bays, and a fan controller for the other, also got a blu ray reader drive so the front of my case looks fairly legit now. a single of the bays seems like its making some random noises When my method is entirely upgradedCore i7 950Asus Rampage III Extreme2x Asus Matrix 587024gb gskill DDR3 1600Mhz120Gb OCZ Revo-Drive Boot Drive2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda XT 6Gb/s2x 2TB Hitachi Deskstar 3Gb/s4x 1TB Seagate/Hitachi/WD 3Gb/sӴ.12 TB total storageWin 7 UltBlu-ray reader writer

Has a separate power button, solid plastic building. Good design and style, fan hot swap operates and transfer speed are not affected. The fan is super quite I don’t even hear it operating. It might not even be operating due to the fact I can’t verify it. The excellent exceeds the price so it’s a great bargain. The locking mechanism is uncomplicated to accidently open like others have pointed out. I recommend only making use of the unlock/lock with the power off. It is effortless to accidently eject the drive. Ok so on the prime of the drive is open for cable or wires to fall in. so I would install it beneath a DVD drive or on the leading spot in your case to make sure practically nothing falls into the opening when empty.

Fits properly effortless install did not want driver for Win7-32. Got a energy button so I could leave the hdd inside with power off with out removing it. See beneath The twist lock button is situated correct next to the release latch and I accidentally un-latched the hdd when I was trying to lock it. Hopefully it didn't cause any harm. It has a energy button so I just leave the backup hdd in the drive with energy off so that I don't have to maintain swapping. Even even though it's produced of plastic, it seems nicely created and sturdy.

This is factor is what you'd expect. At this valueྭ.49) it's wonderful. It does it's job. Pretty much plug in and use. Like other people mentioned doesn't have the annoying key lock. None so far, but a lot of have mentioned it....plastic but as long as it's not abused, it must hold up....hopefully. I'll have to wait to see how it holds up as far as excellent. The plastic doesn't look as well flimsy and I spent a fantastic few hours just inserting and removing the tray to test it. So far it's held up just fine. I Strategy to get ICY DOCK MB882SP-1S-1B adapter so I can use two.five" drives also; both in one particular slot as my other three are taken used.

The trays are quite nice hunting and have a good design and style and are simple to use. The plastic is extremely thin and if it were made a tiny more sturdy these issues would be excellent. It would be easy for somebody to literally crumble 1 of these with a single hand. The cooling fan doesn't operate significantly at all. I ordered 3 of these and all 3 drives are running ten-15 degrees Celsius warmer than they had been just racked usually inside the case. One drive that idled at 24c is now idling at 40c. The other two went from 30c to 40c. With every tray getting it's personal fan I was expecting much better, not significantly worse. One particular of the trays had no lights. The finish if the light bar inside was not attached correctly. I had to get rid of the bottom plate and snap the light bar into spot to get them visible on the front panel.

it was nicely packed, the package was straightforward to open. you don't have to feed it. Bought 2. One particular is DEAD. Nothing at all takes place if I set up a drive in it. Attempted wǘ drives. Each functioning fine in the other one. The switch of the other 1 didn't work very first but following I removed the 2 tiny screws in the back I saw that the plastic extension for the switch was stuck. I moved it up a bit and now it functions. Inexpensive. I got precisely what one particular can expect from it... Bought two and a Seagate 1tb drive. That one particular was DEAD as well. Subsequent time I get regional so I don't have to ship back and wait for a week or more to get the Working solution. If it goes wrong I can exchang it the similar day. Something to believe about.

Great Small item enabling me to use some vacant five.25" drive bays to cram a couple of far more tough drives into my method. I use it to swap in a Linus Drive every single as soon as in awhile or just pop in my backup drive, transfer data to it, and eject it so I can preserve it someplace secure. I even got yet another a single for my parents who wanted a way to back up files when on getaway and leave the drive somewhere protected. For just a tiny over ten bucks, You can't complain about the item. It's properly pretty effectively constructed, has a cooling fan, and provides an straightforward way to swap out drives with out popping the pc case. Wonderful little item and would very recommend. Drive transfer speeds are unaffected. It was best for eveything I've necessary it for and I would hugely recomend acquiring choosing up this surprising solution. If you will need a couple of much more trays for added drives, its so affordable that you can acquire a couple of to have the trays for much more drives and furthermore have a back up if you're ever too rough on it. Fantastic eject mechanism. It is nevertheless, a little delicate. Just be cautious on the in and out... and it must last. Heck even if it doesn't, just get yet another since of the low price tag. There is even a switch for the fan and energy. Also, there is a black cover door that pops up when no drive tray is in to keep dust out of your case. Great

Straightforward to use, plenty of fasteners for various HDs, closer to hot swappable than some other folks, status indicator light on front. No SATA cables integrated. NOT HOT SWAPPABLE. The description says hot swappable but for the Computer to recognize the HDD, you must log out of Windoze (intentional misspelling) and then log in but you don't have to shut off the pc totally so I'm not upset about it. Use two and you can have a set up considerably far more efficient than a virtual machine and have complete resources or just use as a backup.

Just the factor for substantial storage customers such as video or audio editors or these wishing to safely retailer data out of the machine (like in a fire protected, for example).Set up quickly into my screwless case Acer Veriton M498G organization laptop, functions on each Western Digital and Seagate drives.The pop-out manage works well, the "on" and "activity" lights function as they should.Cooling fan is extremely quiet, a relief because my machine is quiet and I didn't want to transform that.The price is surely ideal. Recall there is a power button!!! The directions are not actually even instructions, far more like a connections and switches diagram.You might have set up every thing completely but will not see the drive due to the fact the energy's off. Heh. :-),Trying to turn the drawer lock it is feasible to accidentally release the pop-out handle; a strategy of holding in the handle whilst turning the lock solved that issue. Wish they sold some additional drive trays for these items. At this price though, you really could just buy some more comprehensive units and use only the trays from them.Looks incredibly professional and discreet.

I purchased this rack, among all others, due to the fact it was the finest SATA rack I could find that didn't have an annoying keyed-lock.This is for my Antec 3 Hundred case, for personal property use. I didn't want a rack that necessary a important to unlock and open (that's just annoying). This rack does the trick, and was only a fraction of the cost of other racks. I'd say that the plastic construction may well be a downside; on the other hand, for the $$ could you actually ask for a metal frame? Plus, I don't truly thoughts it being plastic. It still feels solid adequate, and does the job just fine. One much more thing, this rack has one feature that I don't consider is appreciated quite as a lot as it must be. When the tray is removed, a spring-loaded plastic cover pops down and covers the hole.It's amazing! No additional ugly, gaping hole in the front of your situation when you want to get rid of your hot-swap drive.

The only reason I got these is the on / of energy alternative to my drives. I'm fairly lazy and the easy on / pf switch is what I was hunting for. The low low value produced it a no brainer. All bench marks I run are the similar with and without having these hot swaps installed. None Yet. Lets see for the price how extended they last.

Comment:
Don't know of any. It is just a piece of aggravation on my desk that requires to go for electronic recycling Did not power up. Possibly just the energy on button is broke. Waste of time and cash as it costs additional to return it than it is worth

Has a caddy to guard the removable disk dirve when in or out of the chassis and as properly there is a cooling fan in the chassis mount. The price tag becoming so much much less than the other removable chassis mounts is just an added advantage The chassis is about an inch longer than expected, although not a challenge for my mounting, it could be an concern in a tight chassis. It would be helpful to have an additional mounting tray so that the disk does not have to be unscrewed to use a unique HDD in the caddy/tray.

Comment:
Super low price. Exceptional excellent (for the price tag). Identical as prev comments: for home machines this is a genuinely good deal. No essential... but don't require one anyway. The box frame of the enclosure tends to make the fitting of this tray pretty solid even if you can only access a single side of the situation to screw it into. That has been a challenge with equivalent-type drive kits I've gotten in the past. Glad to see a person engineered a low expense resolution that doesn't suck. Fan functions effectively enough. It's no coolermaster but it gets the job carried out. None New Egg rocks like a hurricane.

Does not want a key, which tends to make it greater for household use.Devoted tricky drive fan directed appropriate into the PVB.Molex Power add a selection if you're out of SATA Power connection.Power button to turn off unneeded drives to conserve power. Lock/Unlock switch a little modest, challenging to turn. It seems a little flimsy as it is nearly completely produced out of thin plastics, but because of it the unit becomes really inexpensive to make and sell enabling you to purchase several of them. I doubt I would ever do some thing to break anything on it even though, you don't need force to eliminate or replace the tray.The lock/unlock switch can be a small hard to turn unless you use your nails. You could just leave it unlocked, but a slight bump to the button will pop out the manage and unmount the drive. Very Poor if it is at present in use.

Comment:
High excellent, low cost. Energy switch makes swapping OS uncomplicated. Vista 64 on one drive, XP on another. Leave each installed and turn a single on and the other off. 80 mm fans are quiet and maintain drives very cool (leave the cover off when drive is installed). None. You ought to have RAID or AHCI for drives to be hot-swappable. These bays let hot-swapping but do not enable it.

Comment:
Every little thing -These are great and function as advertised. I purchased 6 of them for my secure servers to be removed and locked up when expected. They even incorporate a fan to preserve the drive cool. This was utilised with IDE to SATA adapter to add life to my servers which it has.I will buy more to convert all my IDE to SATA as time permits. Nothing at all severe - just a sensitive release that could be locked prior to power on as not to release the drive for the duration of operation. I can see why they are out of stock.

Comment:
Fast and uncomplicated to use, no unique computer software, effortless set up absolutely nothing I use this to preserve my backup drive safe from energy surge. I pop in the added TB HDD I have lying about, do my backup and pop out the drive and put it in a safe spot.

Comment:
I purchased eight of these basically due to the fact I wanted the ability to swap my drives around instead of opening up my case each and every time. It's truly came in handy, tends to make for uncomplicated ghost backups. Plastic (Need I say a lot more), The locking mechanism is junk. At least one particular of the trays I purchased didn't operate. It was alright even though because I wasn't preparing on mounting all eight trays just wanted the drive casings. Its genuinely not that poor of a drive bay, I've just noticed greater unfortunately when I was shopping for the one particular I wanted it was nowhere to be located.

Comment:
These are sooooo handy!! I bought two and they work good!!You can't afford Not to acquire these.All plastic but appear to bewell made. Power button and fan are huge pluses. Release button is genuine sensitive.These ought to come in six-packs. Shipping is wonderful, came 1 day early.
