5.25 Trayless Mobile Rack CD-ROM 3.5 inch Internal SATA Hard Drive Adapter

Gets the job done. Structurally it is very solid. Even more so once screwed in place. The door and drive ejection mechanisms all appear to be solid, and the functions are all 10/10.

Pretty Good and easy to use

Took me awhile to get this set up properly. When I mounted this in a 5 and 1/4 Bay at the top of a mid top power case I found it difficult to maintain the connection cuz anytime I get inside the case it was just too easy for me to jostle that sata cable or the power cable enough to where it would come out of the drive cage.As a result I kept losing connection to drive cage and it was kind of frustrating trying to get my big man hands into that tiny space to reconnect it.I spent a few bucks on a cable that extends both sata and power connector and now this works really well.

I run Windows 98, XP, 7, and 10 by changing hard drives in this unit. All SATA drives and they snap in and work. Good quality construction. Excellent price.

I was in need of a 5.25 trayless mobile rack for 3.5 inch hard drives as door for the one I had broke.I saw this trayless rack and decided to get it. Upon receiving, I think the one I got was from a return. The box was wrapped in plastic labeled ready for sale. Also, the box was closed and secured by Scotch tape.Included in the box was the trayless rack and nothing else. There weren't any instructions nor any hardware such as screws or cables. Looking over the rack, one thing I noticed is it is mostly made of metal (a good thing). The side rails, and the part that ejects the HDDs from the back are made of metal. The front door is made of plastic and I'm hoping this is durable to last. There's also a metal wire-type guide that keeps the HDD from shifting when inserting and removing. When I first tried, the metal wire thing got caught on the hard drive. I ended up flexing the metal wire a few times and that made a HDD able to swap in and out of the tray. I also noticed that the SATA connections seemed a bit loose. I don't they the connections will fall out on their own, but feels like the couldn't been made to connect tighter.Here is what I like and dislike of this trayless mobile rack:Likes:- mostly made of metal- satisfying click sound when door is closedDislikes:- only arrived with tray. Not accessories or instructions- connection could be tighter- may have received a used product instead of new- no lock on door (non-issue for me, may be issue for some)- no LED light indicating drive accessI hope that the trayless rack lasts a long time.I give the Seaocloud 5.25 Trayless Mobile Rack 4.5 stars.

Very good product for making SATA HDD external to fit 5.25 inch bay. Fits well and easy to install and drive slides very easily, Supports hot plug feature if your motherboard and sata controller are compatible. Very good price and quality.

I ordered two of these at the same time. Both of them failed to function using sata3 with sata3 drives, sata2 with sata2 drives, or any combination of them. I used both Seagate and Western Digital drives (500gb and 1tb respectively, 6 different drives in total were tested on 2 different computers).The bios would recognize the drives, but booting, formatting, or any functionality at all would cause errors and simply not work.It was an easy fix, but not at all appropriate or desirable. I simply removed the SATA connectors on each caddy and plugged the drives in directly to the SATA cables. All was well after that (proving it wasn't the drives or OS or anything I was doing).The caddy itself is fairly simple and I would even say it's made well, but the SATA connectors were 100% broken on both of the one's I ordered, which makes the whole movable tray useless.I am still using them because I really just needed the tray and not the movable functionality, and I also didn't want to go through the hassle of returning them and ordering something else. However, I would certainly never buy from this company again. If only 1 was bad and the other worked, I would understand, stuff happens. But, both being DOA quite obviously means there is little to no quality control happening here. Maybe it was just a bad day at the factory, I don't know, but you lost 1 customer.

Cheap and somewhat flimsy, but once installed they do the job.

Nice fit. Would be better if the sata cable latched.

Documentation is sparse. As for hot swappable I installed the unit with my drive in it. Turned on my computer and it worked no problem. I pulled out the drive and when I put in a different drive my computer hung with a frozen screen and not mouse or keyboard response. Rebooted and the drive worked fine. I don't really need to hot swap, waiting half a minute to reboot is no deal breaker for me.

The media could not be loaded. Malheureusement ca ne s'installe pas n'importe où!Ordinateur #1. la porte est plus grosse que l'ouverture du panneau de ma façade , impossible de l'ouvrir. De plus verifier la profondeur! Pour les tour plus compacts, vous risquer de ne pas etre capable de l'insère complètement!Ordinateur #2. +/- 1 mm... ca paraît! Cela n'est pas étanche dans cette tour, le +/- 1 mm de la mesure décrite crée une petite ouverture tout autour du panneau, esthétiquement je n'aime pas!

I have a LOT of extra hard drives and this bay has proven invaluable. Not super sure about durability but very happy with how well it has worked so far.

I should have included this a long time ago. Well done
