I've purchased several of these and installed them in an old Coolermaster full tower case, they work well for my home server setup. 5 stars all the way

Once the trays are in your bay, the drives slide right in or pop right out when you open the door. No plugging or unplugging cables. Great for servers with 5.25 bays.

1台に2個入れてつかっています本当にレールとドアだけって感じの簡素な造りですが、特にトラブルもなく使えていますアクセスランプ（？）のLEDだけはもうちょっとどうにかしてほしかったけど・・・使い道が無い

This trayless hot swap adapter has a very nice fit and finish to it.I immediately noticed that the frame is sturdy and the hard disk itself is vibration isolated from the chassis. Install was a breeze, and it works. I will certainly be buying more of these. High quality product!Pros -- Basically all of it- The plastic parts feel good and not cheap- The metal frame and latch are sturdy- Vibration isolation- Data/power connector makes a good connectionCons -- I really can't find any.

I didn't expect much from this item because there does not seem to be many products like this on the market. However to my surprise this hard drive 5.25" drawer is fantastic. Its construction is great, made from mostly aluminum, has a cooling fan, has a usage light and has a lock which turns it off or on.The drawer slides in easily and locks into place with little effort. It's pretty good looking too.On the flip side I don't like how the hard drive attach to the sliding drawer. With traditional screws, four of them to be exact. It would have been awesome if the drives could lock or clip in place with some easier mechanical method like I've seen on other drive bays. Also the drawer cover is nice, metal and well made but it should have been provided with some vent holes for the fan cooling.I do recommend this item, I'll add the vent holes myself.

Je ne savais même pas que ce type de rack existait! C'est très pratique pour rajouter un HDD alors que l'on n'a plus de place disponible dans le râtelier interne . C'est exactement ce que je cherchais. En plus , on peut intervertir très facilement le HDD supplémentaire avec d'autres, Je peux ainsi réutiliser des HDD d'un PC qui a rendu l'âme. Le mécanisme fonctionne très bien et à l'air solide. Cela ne force pas sur les connecteurs. 2 clés sont fournies pour verrouiller l'extraction. Très content de cet article.

Great quality product, fits the 5.25 drive slot perfectly and no issues with inserting and removing hard drives from the bay. I didn't opt to plug in the activity light, since it's not really necessary for my purposes. The lock itself is low security, being a generic mechanism, without unique key patterns. The closing latch feels secure and the air vents are a nice touch.

Lo he instalado en un ordenador con Windows 7. En cuanto a la instalación todo perfecto, he usado el primer cable SATA que he encontrado en un cajón y ha encajado perfectamente. El funcionamiento no da ningún problema, al introducir un disco duro Windows me lo reconoce como cualquier otro dispositivo de almacenamiento externo, y para sacarlo utilizo la opción de "quitar hardware de forma segura". Por lo que cuesta, vale la pena tener uno para aprovechar esos discos duros que se nos van quedando viejos.

I use this product with a second extra drive caddy (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00127OVD2/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1) as a hot-swap solution to rotate two 2Tb backup drives and take one offsite on a Windows server 2012 machine. These are rugged and built out of metal; I anticipate they will last, and are rated to last 25000 pulls. All the screws lined up in the 5.25" bay I had available. The unit can be powered with either a 5pin molex or a sata power plug. The drive caddy that slides in and out is well-made and lines up perfectly sliding it in and out of the caddy. For this application, having the hard drives permanently mounted in the caddies is a plus as it adds protection to the drive. You do have to use the key on these units. You have no power to the drive until the key is turned to lock. Then you have a power light indicator that will come on and a second led that shows you drive activity. Both drives were immediately recognized by server 2012 when inserted and the key turned to lock. If your drives haven't been formatted yet, then of course you still have to go into Disk Management and initialize the disk. Do read the instructions that come with the unit, there are some good tips in it such as after turning the key to power off the device, wait 15 seconds to let the drive spin down before taking it out of the unit. You cannot modify this unit to use 2.5" sata drives, only 3.5" sata drives will fit in the drive caddy. There is a small fan in the unit. I don't think it creates that much airflow, but the metal enclosure helps to dissipate heat and the bottom of the enclosure is open so heat can disperse downwards through the metal and out of the drive. I also have this in a very well-ventilated server case with 4 fans, so heat would not be an issue anyways.

Choose this for replacing a DVD drive to mount a in an OPTIPLEX 755. Had 4-5 stars and comparable pricing for its features.It is probably overkill for what I originally wanted (a mount for a HD in a 5.25 bay), but I'm rather happy with it as it leaves room for quick future upgrades. Just installed it yesterday, so this review only covers what I've experience with the installation. I'll try to give an update on how it is working in a few months.The Good:Reasonable price for features.Installation was fairly intuitive and quick (see exceptions below).3.5 drive fit nicely into the drawer case.Ample screws provided. I only needed one to secure the drawer to the bay case.Provided 7-pin SATA cable (but not a 15-pin SATA power cable).No extra software needed.Easy case insert/removal (exception below).LED indication light works - good indication of whether the drive is getting power.Fan seems to work well.The Notables:I was only able to secure the drive with 3 screws - the last hole wasn't aligned right so thescrew would never sit flush with the surface...I just left it out.In an OPTIPLEX 755, you can replace the original plastic face plate over the installed drawer, butthat makes swapping impossible without removing the face plate first.The fan is small, but it is slightly more audible than the large computer's internal fan.Ugh, Keys. I would have preferred a button/switch.Yes, you'll need a screwdriver to swap drives.The Tips:You have to turn the key to 'Lock' for the power to be delivered to the drive. I usually skim directions and look at the diagrams without a problem, but I had to look through the instructions for this. Would be more intuitive if they labeled it 'Lock & Power' or had a separate 'Power On/Off' button.The last two sentences of the instructions say that the HD will automagically appear, as the drawer is passive and does not require a driver. Yes, the computer sees it, but you **CANNOT** see the drive under 'My Computer' until you configure the drive. To do this, right click on 'Computer', click 'Manage', go to 'Storage'>'Disk Management', and setup the drive. I wish StarTech would have pointed that out for those of us that rarely deal with hardware.
