Flimsy and Unreliable for Computers

This hard drive accessory was not worth the price. It felt cheap and flimsy in its construction, making me doubt its durability. Plus, it failed to work seamlessly with my computer as promised, causing frustrating crashes and requiring constant reboots.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Unreliable, flimsy construction.

Pros

Pros
  • Mobile Multi-Bay Backplane/Drive Cage/2.5" HDD Adapter
