🔥 Icy Dock Tool-Less 5.25 Drive Bay Hot Swap Mobile Rack - ExpressCage MB326SP-B: Effortless 6 x 2.5 SATA HDD/SSD Storage Solution Review

Cons -1 - Trays not entirely tool free - no use of screws for drive trays I have had problems with drives not fitting properly despite pins on the trays. 2 - power connectors are being pinched near the fans, it's a nuisance if your power cables use SATA power cables that don't go straight in, but route the power cables in a T or 90 degrees to the connector.
