Review on 💾 StarTech.com Trayless Hard Drive Hot Swap Bay - Removable SATA/SAS Drive Bay - Aluminum (HSB1SATSASBA) by Cris Walton

Doesn't work at all and causes problems with other drives

I'm pretty sure this thing is causing problems with my motherboard's SATA controller. When this thing is installed and I insert a drive, all other drives (except the boot drive) momentarily disconnect and reappear. Very strange. I thought it might be a specific port or SATA cable, but I checked several and it wasn't. Then eventually many drives just don't work with it, and yet these drives work fine when connected directly to SATA ports.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Poor instructions
