Exactly what I wanted

I'm building an ITX PC with only a 5.25" bay. to accommodate both an optical drive and a memory card reader. This docking station, ultra-slim* CD drive, and 3.5-inch card reader were just what the doctor ordered. may require a 3.5 inch hard drive, a floppy drive (?!) optical drive in the top bay. The screws for installing in a PC are self-tapping and require some force to fully tighten. The packs of screws are conveniently labeled. It also includes a well-made adapter to connect a compact optical drive to a regular SATA power port .The assembly experience of the product was painless and pleasant.> The admin is a very economical way. The 3.5" filler panel is molded in plastic between the optical drive bay and the 3.5" drive bays and fits into the slot at the bottom 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!

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • So-so
