Review on πŸ’Ώ ORICO 1106SS Trayless Hot Swap Mobile Rack CD-ROM 3.5 inch SATA Hard Drive SSD Adapter - Black by Roman Palmer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inserting and removing 3.5 " SATA drives

I have too many old hard drives. I rarely throw them away and use the old ones to secure the new ones. To tell you about my hard drive collection, I recently cleaned out and threw away the 500MB hard drive (yes, megabytes, no typo.) This rack is the perfect solution to being able to pop in a hard drive for a quick scan, backup, whatever, or file recovery from someone's old, dead computer. I have mostly WD and Seagate drives and the insert/eject mechanism works great with them. There is a lever behind the drive that connects to the front door and helps with removal. That's my little concern about the rack. When I remove the glass I have the impression that if I put a little more pressure on the door the door might break, although so far there have been no problems. BIOS settings: On modern ASUS mobile devices, this is a setting called "SATA Hot Plug Capability". y". This causes your operating system to consider it an ejectable drive, giving you a chance to safely sync, park, and idle the drive before ejecting it.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • So far so good
