Rated 5 out of 5 byAndrew11 from Great concept just noisyThis is a great way to mount and use both a 3.5 and a 2.5 drive in a single optical bay. Desktop designs are getting ever-smaller so it’s nice to have something like this to maximize space. The design is sleek and modern, the drives fit in it nicely and the mechanism loads and unloads the drives just by moving the handle in front of each drive. I was originally afraid the drives might rattle in the enclosure without padding but it wasn’t the case; instead it’s the fan for cooling that makes more noise than both drives. It’s set to a single-speed, which is safe, but unnecessary. It would have been better to have a variable-speed fan with either a temperature sensor or a dial at the front.I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review

Rated 5 out of 5 byShawnO_02 from Good way to add additional storage to your system!This bay is easy to install into your system and makes swapping drives easy and convenient. While it seems to have solid construction some elements are plastic and feel under designed. It would be nice if the drive lights had more space between them so you can see from a distance which drive is getting use. As for functionality, both drives I attached worked great and I had no issues while testing the hot swap capabalities. Overall this is not my favourite StarTech product but it does work as advertised. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

Rated 5 out of 5 bysorinc from How do you eject the SSD?Bought this last week and I really like the concept. The HDD is just fine, but I cannot eject the SSD. Just opening the door does not do anything and there is no eject button. What am I missing?

Rated 5 out of 5 bytoad from Way too noisyI just bought this to fit in a new build to be able to easily swap between all the HDD I have lying around but I think I will be sending it back. Before I put this in, my computer which has 7 140mm case fans, 2 HDDs, a GTX 1080 ti and a huge tower cooler was next to silent.However this product alone (I assume because of the tiny fan at the back) is much noisier than my whole computer. It generates an irritating high-pitched whirring sound continuously, whether there are drives fitted in it or not.The product looks otherwise good (although it doesn't sit quite as flush with the front panel as other 5.25 devices) and seems to be of otherwise good quality but I simply cannot use it as is.
