Review on πŸ’Ύ StarTech.com Trayless Hard Drive Hot Swap Bay - Removable SATA/SAS Drive Bay - Aluminum (HSB1SATSASBA) by Michael Keitt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to install and insert drives

I bought 2 types of 3 inch hot swap SATA enclosures and prefer this one. The other was more complex and had a fan, but I found the simplicity of this device more pleasing. I don't have to worry about mechanical failures as much as the other one and I've found that no additional cooling is required. It was easy to install and very easy to put in the discs. .The only problem I had was finding a 2.5" to 3.5" converter so I could connect my 2.5" drives to it. Of the 3 purchased, 1 worked just fine. The voltage across it feels a bit dangerous when closing the converter bay, but not enough to really bother me.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
