Good hot-swap for 2.5 " drives

If you need hot-swap capability, this might be a good product. I used it so I didn't have it for my system's 3.5 inch bay. You still get a fast connection for your SSD and also save the drive bay for something else. I use this on a NAS with UnRaid. There are no problems with him at all. Plugged in, configured - forget it.

Pros
  • Robust hot-swap connector rated for at least 10,000 mating/ejecting cycles
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Good hot swap for 2.5 inch drives

If you need hot swap capability this could be a good product. I used it so I didn't have to occupy my system's 3.5" drive bay. You still get a fast connection for your SSD and also save the drive bay for something else. I use this on a NAS with UnRaid. There are no problems with him at all. Plugged in, configured - forget it.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Great way to add an SSD when no drive bays are available

I have been a long time fan of IcyDock ToughArmor products and this continues my experience with excellent quality. The drive sleds in this controller board/hot-swap bay are compatible with many other 2.5" 9.5mm high sleds and are easily interchangeable (see the IcyDock website for specific models). I use them for an SSD cache drive in an UnRAID system where all the drive bays are filled with spinning drives, but I had an empty PCIE x1 slot on the motherboard (388MB/s read and write on myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hard Drive Accessories
Cons
  • Not sure
