SilverStone Aluminum MFP51S Multi Media 5.25 Inch: A Versatile and Efficient Solution Review

Before you buy this item, please note the following: It will NOT fit in the advertised 5.25" bay.

I hope that other buyers of this module will not have any problems with it. Mine might just be an accident that passed quality control without prior testing. Having repaired it
