Well thought out and qualitative accessory
This storage bay allows to embed 4 HDD/SDD in a 5 1/4 slot ... perfect to transform an old box into a personal server taking no space (personal openstack server from an intel core i5 10400T / 24 GB of ram).
Practical: the bays occupied by a disk are indicated by a blue LED.
The only 2 small drawbacks that I find for the moment:
- The disks do not have an activity LED
- although they seem solid, the bays are made of plastic; but they are not supposed to be dismantled several times a day so I won't hold it against them
In view of the above comments I have decided to get an extra 40mm Noctua fan. I'll see how the original one performs over time and if it needs to be replaced before its end of life.Review automatically translated -

Small warning about this product
Overall this is a good product especially if you are looking for a solution that is easy to assemble and allows you to store up to 4 hard drives that can be hot swapped.
However, there is a lot of plastic, which leaves something to be desired in terms of long-term robustness. And the unfortunate thing is that the fan is included with this cage.
After only 2 months of regular use of the pc (about 8-12h per day) the fan (which is set to low speed by default) is now making a horrible and very annoying noise especially as the rest of the pc is generally quiet.
I've just read the reviews on Amazon to see that the problem with the fan on this cage is recurrent.
So if you really want to buy this product, I recommend you buy a better quality replacement fan to replace the one included with the cage.
I don't usually comment on products because I'm happy with them but this one still deserves a warning.Review automatically translated -

Effective
To be able to alternate W7 and W10 without them interfering with each other.
To lighten the load on the power supply.
To have access to the data disks directly, and to be able to change them between PCs.
This removable drawer has only advantages.
In addition, the disks are easy to install
No heating or excessive noise.Review automatically translated -

Good rack
It is quite light, quite a lot of plastic, but it looks good. The mounting system on the racks is quick and easy. No ventilation problems for SSDs. No unnecessary keys that tend to get lost.

CLEAR
Among the cheapest for a major brand.
It is very simple, easy and quick to assemble and keeps its promises.
Used to build a NAS, I'm going to order a second one, simply to replace some 3.5" disks...
The plus compared to the others is the fan which has three modes (AUTO - MAX - MIN), I leave it on AUTO, it is perfect in my case.
The HDDs don't heat up to more than 35° during heavy use in my case, so good cooling, and the AUTO mode does its job well.
It's a pity that there is no disk ACTIVITY LED, just a blue LED per cage to indicate the presence of the HDD.
Uses only a SATA 15 Pin power supply ... a big advantage, to minimize the size of the power supply of the whole system!
Compatible with SATA III 6 Gb/s without worries.
HDD 9mm not SSD mounted without worries.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one.Review automatically translated
