Cons: Does not include CP05 brackets with cables for hotswapping.Fan is meant to clip into facia of Silverstone cases (rather than being hinged) so quick swapping is a bit awkward. Between that and the feel of the plastic caddy trays, I would not really recommend it for daily/frequent swapping.Fan's power connection is via exposed contacts that touch each other when fan & gill are clipped into place.Power for fan has 3 pin mother board connector not Molex. (The only connection I had available was for "Case Fan" and, so far, I have not noticed this fan turn on but I only have one drive installed and haven't used it much yet.)Must screw caddy onto drive.

Pros: Cage is fairly solid.Comes with screws to mount to case and screws to mount drive to caddy.Cage fit into my Azza Helio 910 case and the fan & grill portion fits/clips in my case "OK" (designed for Silverstone cases). The grill is flat and the rest of my grills are curved so the difference is noticeable if you look or are fussy.
Comment:
Nice way to add 4 HDDs into the space of 3 5.25" drive bays that are completely open.Back end is completely open so it is easy to connect power and data cables.For easier installation of drives (without opening case), you need a CP05 accessory for each caddy slot at $7-10 each. If the Sata port supports it, this can make those caddies hotswappable.

Cons: Fan protrudes past the front of the case. Fan mounting method is flimsy and contacts don't always touch.

Pros: having space for 4 more drives. Nice compact look. large cooling fan.
Comment:
If you have a tower that has a door for the 3x5.25" drive bays it will fit without removing the door. But, the door will not close because the fan is held outside the case by 1/2inch. No problems mounting the drives. good spacing for air flow.First you install the rack in the tower then slide the HD trays in the rack and wire them up. Simple. The fan/front cover attaches to the rack by using the tabs that hold the place holders in the drive bays. They rely on 8 touching contacts to power the fan. The mounting method leaves the fan loose and not always in contact. You have to do a lot of fiddling with the fit to get the fan in the right place so the contacts touch. the fan and the pc vibrate enough to loosen the contacts if its not fit tightly to the rack. A plug instead of contacts would have made this a non issue. It's possible to add a plug later after the warranty is up.Bottom line: Worth the $25 for the extra drive space but would not have bought it had I known it blocked the door on my tower from closing.
