Revainrating 4 out of 5

Exactly what I wanted

I'm building an ITX PC with just a 5.25" bay optical drive and memory card reader. This docking station, the super slim* CD-ROM drive and the 3.5" memory card reader are exactly what the doctor ordered. Hardware you may want to install a 3.5" hard drive, floppy drive (?!) or accessories in the lower bay and an ultra-slim optical drive in the upper bay. The screws to install in your PCs are self tapping and it takes some effort to fully fasten them.The screw packs are labeled for easy reference.It also includes a well made adapter for connecting a compact optical drive to a regular SATA power connector.>End caps are in an excellent and cost effective manner Available molded in plastic A 3.5" blank is embedded in the plastic between the optical drive bays and the d the 3.5-inch bays and fits into a slot in the bottom of the optical drive bay. It is set back slightly from the face of the adapter. You can pull it out when you need it or leave it there when you don't need it. This does not affect the installation of parts. The optical drive blank is molded onto the extension on the back of the adapter. It is inserted from above and ends flush with an artificial disc mark on the front. You CAN remove it for display if your case has a window through which you can easily see the inside of the adapter. Both blanks have a brushed finish to match the front of the adapter.*> The optical bay requires a 9.5mm ultra-thin drive. A "thick" 12.7 mm normal thin disc is not suitable. The 9.5mm disc was a little tight!
