Review on Upgraded ICY DOCK Dual 2.5 to 3.5 HDD Drive πŸ”§ Bay SSD Mounting Bracket Kit Adapter - Tool-Less EZ-Fit Lite MB290SP-B by Josh Dyer

Perfect! Computers and Accessories

I'd like to deduct 1/2 star for slightly too large tray tolerances, but I doubt that's a problem and I'm picky, SSD. For value, I use 3.2TB Firecuda drives for each of these triplets. Forgot to account for gaps requiring special cables, but this adapter fits a standard 3.5" bay. Even those intended for quick release. The "double sided" design or non-polarity of the trays so they can be inserted "upside down" or "right way up" is a smart move that makes this adapter versatile and very convenient. I use their dual 2.5" adapter instead of their single 2.5" tray. This allows me to expand a 4-drive case into an 11-drive case. Ideal for a discrete file server in combination with the LSI00415.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Unreliable
