Review on 📦 Icy Dock: Compact 5.25" Mount SATA 3.5" HDD Enclosure - Space-saving and Reliable Storage Solution by Cool Martin

There are some great alternatives on the market but I went with this one because most comparable branded products with the same features were more expensive and didn't have as long a warranty. I really liked this device. After purchasing it, I realized that I didn't like the gray color of the lever to open the drive bay. It consists of two main parts. One of them holds the hard drive in place in the rack while the other is the main shell of the rack itself. Therefore, you need to fix the hard drive to the bracket first, and then insert it into the rack. The only downside to this method is that it's not as easy to remove and swap drives, which is pretty counterintuitive when you're thinking about hot-swapping. Overall I am very satisfied with this product. *** Advantages: 1. Hot swappable2. Drives up to 3TB3 are supported. Compatibility with SATA III4. Powered fan5. Lock and key type security6. Drive bay activity LEDs7. Aluminum case for better heat dissipation.8. 3 year guarantee*** Disadvantages: 1. Has a separate internal hard drive holder (I just find it a bit impractical, but not really a disadvantage)
