Ideal chassis for SSDs!!!!!!!! Precisely what you will need for a good match and finish to your setup! None! Really like the 1 power connector, this is just the item to cease your SSDs from rattling around in your case. Enjoy that it doesn't have a noisy fan like some of the other hotswap cages that are produced for highspeed SAS drives.

Pretty easy to add and get rid of 1 or two two.5" SSD's. The mechanism to get rid of the drives are especially flimsy. I have a drive that was tremendously difficult to be removed when it was pushed into the cage. Considering that the internal lever to push it out is produced of plastic, and the lever is only about two-three mm thick, it was not robust enough to push out the drive. Eventually the lever snapped and broke, and I had to open up the cage to retrieve the drive. Now I put a Scotch tape on the drive to pull it out when required.

Strong ConstructionLocking MechanismHot Swap Locking mechanism is only a simple hex tool style, So not extremely secureScrew holes are not in the identical spot or the exact same size as a regular three.five" tricky drive... Took some modification to get this factor mounted into a 3.5 slot.Entire cause for shopping for this item was to be able to mount in a common three.five" slot however with holes provided doesn't fit.

operates as advertised. the single sata power for both of the drives is excellent The release and lock mechanism doesn't often align properly. The LED indicator is extremely faint; tricky to inform is there is activity on the drive.

Solid construction! Hinges, latch, and bays are properly produced. Operation of drive release is smooth. Blue LED lights indicate a drive is in spot and has power. The price seemed a bit high for drive cage, but it was very competitive with other cages. I didn't obtain the more affordable ones due to the fact some reported poor construction. If the value for this was lower, I would have purchased it sooner. It would have been nice if it came with security locks on the doors that were "real." These are just hex essential heads. Not a con given that carrying out so would most likely make the doors larger.

strong construction general great fit doors lock primarily to avoid accidental opening springs inside bit much on ejecting tough drivelock the doors when a drive is loaded to simple to open and eject the drive almost took a egg but decided not the products fault bought these in a combo deal cae with two 160 gig drivesmy fault for not seeking at the specs on the drive as I assumed in a combo deal the drives would be compatible with the cage, IDE drives do not fit well in a SATA cage price my a couple of days as I had to order 4 additional SATA drives, not confident what newegg was carrying out even the rep spoke with wasn't confident on why that combo deal was setup like that

-Well built: metal where it counts and the plastic is thick. The latch is sturdy and you can tell when the drives are totally inserted. I have some other istar drive bays and solid construction seems to be typical.-Each and every drive is directly addressed with its own sata data connector, no port multiplier or fake "hardware" raid matters to deal with. Great for a correct raid card or HBA utilizes. This also lets a bios/raid rom do staggered spin up if you need to.-Single regular sata power connector saves wiring inside the case, and has no troubles powering two 2.5" drives.-No fan signifies no added noise: small fans tend to be a pain. This is a major pro for intended makes use of, hot 15k SAS drives only belong in a rackmount style backplane. -Faceplate is not absolutely flat, the edge with leds is beveled. Doesn't result in any difficulties but looks a small odd up close.-Locks are not truly locks per se, only for preventing casual or accidental removal. I don't care myself, physical access is total access in the laptop or computer security planet, lock the room rather if it matters.-Not very inexpensive versus a uncomplicated bracket which sometimes comes with SSDs, but you get what you pay for. This is for external bay mounting with removable access, not internal. I use this with my SSD boot drive usually installed and locked in, with the other bay for the a variety of spare laptop hard drives I finish up with from repairs and upgrades and so on.

Works terrific. The LED is vivid and straightforward to see. Extremely handy for installing SSDs in a desktop. The ones I received do not match the pictures. The left corner is not beveled but has a right angle rather. As a outcome it is not matching the other two I already owned. The mechanism is a bit fragile if your drive is stuck. I would genuinely advise utilizing it as an enclosure with easy removal and not as a true backplane for which you would require to take the drives in and out often.

A lot of cases have two FDD bays allowing up to four 2.five" SATA tough drives to be installed. Ought to have been developed with added holes so it could be mounted in an internal three.5" drive bay, not just an external drive bay. Enlarged picture clearly shows screw hole places match holes for a FDD. You can hold an old FDD up for comparison and then an HDD. I becomes quite apparent even before buy. Also on the manufacturer's webpage they show it installed in a tower case in the FDD bay. The individual that modified their case to install it in an internal HDD bay seems to have not realized it was not meant to be installed in an internal three.five" HDD bay. FDD only. Manufacturer Response:Dear Newegg Client: You are completely correct. The unit is created for external use. It will trigger mounting troubles if users use it internally. Some modifications need to be completed on users' situations to mount the unit into an internal three.five" bay.Thank you for deciding upon iStarUSA.
