Review on πŸ’½ ICY DOCK Tray-Less Hot Swap Mobile Rack with 3X 3.5 Inch SATA/SAS HDD Docking Enclosure in 2 x 5.25 Inch Drive Bay (Includes 3X SATA Cables) - flexiDOCK MB830SP-B by Jonathan Devarapalli

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't seem to support SATA 3 speeds

Machine works quite well, hard drives are inserted without problems. My biggest complaint is the lack of SATA 3 support, my other case is a 5-bay Kingwin model that supports SATA 3. The other complaint I have is that the drives are not secured once inserted. I can see them decoupling from the vibration on the discs. , the time will show. The drive speed limited by SATA 2 doesn't seem to affect the performance of the NAS much, it's just annoying that 5 drives are on SATA 3 and the other 3 are on SATA 2.
