Review on Tool-Less 4X 2.5” SSD/HDD & Slim/Ultra-Slim ODD Adapter Mounting Bracket - Flex-FIT Quinto MB344SPO for 5.25” Bay by Corey Slivinsky

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Exactly what I wanted

I am building an ITX PC with only a 5.25" bay. optical drive and memory card reader. This docking station, ultra-slim* CD-ROM drive, and 3.5-inch card reader were just what the doctor ordered. ALL the hardware you might want to install a 3.5" hard drive, floppy drive (?!) or accessories in the lower bay and an ultra-slim optical drive in the upper bay. The screws for mounting in a PC require a bit of force to fully tighten. The screw packs are conveniently labeled. It also includes a well-made adapter to connect a compact optical drive to a regular SATA power connector. Assembling the product was easy painless and comfortable.> The advertisement molded plugs out of plastic. surprisingly economical way. The 3.5" cover is molded in plastic between the optical drive bays and the 3.5" drive bays and fits into the slot at the base of the optical drive bay. It is set back slightly from the face of the adapter. You can pull it out when you need it or leave it there when you don't need it. This does not affect the installation of parts. The optical drive blank is molded onto the extension on the back of the adapter. It is inserted from above and ends flush with an artificial disc mark on the front. You CAN remove it for display if your case has a window through which you can easily see the inside of the adapter. Both blanks have a brushed finish to match the front of the adapter.*> The optical bay requires a 9.5mm ultra-thin drive. A "thick" 12.7 mm normal thin disc is not suitable. The 9.5mm disc was a little tight!
