📦 Enhanced Cooling Box: EverCool Dual 5.25 inch Drive Bay to Triple 3.5 inch HDD Solution Review

Works well in my Dell Inspiron Tower which I use as a Linux NAS. It currently has 2 HDDs. It's a little tight, but that's not a big problem. Make sure you also get a Moldex to SATA power adapter if needed to power the fan as it is not included like other versions of this product, or you can connect it to the mobo's fan output. .I would recommend anyone using this to lightly shave the little latch on the fan filter with a nail file or sandpaper so it's not that difficult to open and close. Just…

The product is excellent, works as intended. Could have used a slightly stronger fan. The only downsides are ((1)) depth, the door is quite bulky and the fan. After installing with an ASRock 970 Extreme4 I got 1/2 inch sticking out as the power connector touches the drives, it's almost impossible to connect the front USB 3 connector but it worked, and ((2)) the door /door "hinges" are very weak/cheap and easy to break because ironically the lock is too strong and you have to pull hard to open…

People complain again and again that the door gets stuck or breaks when opening. I'm glad I read your reviews before buying it because I knew what to expect when I got it and I was VERY CAREFUL. You have to treat it like cheap child safety locks on closet doors and stick your fingernail in the slot so you can slide the locking mechanism over the small handle. Yes it hurts BUT I have a solution so you never have to do it again the first time you open it. Use sandpaper or a nail file/sandboard to

As already mentioned, the door is too narrow. Just use the edge of a screwdriver to wedge it a bit and it pops open easily. If you just pull the door it will obviously break. Don't mess with it right away because the filter has been installed correctly. Baskets for 3 HDDs and 4 SSDs have been provided to meet your needs. Screws were also provided so you don't have to have an existing supply or pick up rubbish. The fit was snug, but it was meant to be snug. I didn't find the fan noisy. Maybe…

I like this adapter. Well made, all metal. The dust filter is easy to remove and wash, and the stock fan can be replaced with your choice of fan if you want something with better airflow and/or lower noise levels. The only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is very difficult to pull the tab and open the door. to reveal the dust filter - I have to use a flat head screwdriver to open it. I bought this to increase the hard drive capacity in my medium tower. It only has room behind the…

Pros: - Additional HD seats - Cooling for certain HDs - Relatively easy installation with screws in bottom bay (Note: you may find it easier to install drives first). Welded closed. I ended up using pliers and opening it very discreetly (that's where the filter can be pulled for cleaning). Too much force will tear off the door. The fan is just noisy. Each fan pulls a little louder air through the filter, but this one did a little more than I was comfortable with. Modification - it is bolted and

As a solution to cooling down and storing your SSD, this is a great solution. Installation was easy and it is compatible with my case's tool-less hardware. The fan is adequate, although I will replace it at some point in the future. It's not loud and looks good on my black case. The standard versions 3.5 and 2.5 for SSD are included. Depending on which format you use, up to 3 can fit in each. The opening front filter is also a nice touch. Considering how much it was, it was worth it. It doesn't

I bought this to use with the midtower as a DIY NAS via OpenMediaVault. Overall, the quality is good and the design is well executed, but it lacks a few spots. The fan is obviously "universal" and a little late: louder than necessary, but not "bad" and connected via a very old IDE power connector rather than a more modern SATA power connector or a simple 3 or 4 pin standard interface fan . for the motherboard. Ironically, the solder on mine broke when I was fumbling with the connector to plug…

This article was exactly what I was looking for. It fits very snugly in two empty 5.25 bays and allows you to install 3-4 hard drives instead. Excellent quality fasteners, made of metal, not plastic. The filter for the fan is also of high quality. Also included is a mount for solid state drives. My only criticism of this product is the poor quality fan that came with it. This wasn't a big problem as it could easily be replaced with a matching fan (I replaced it with Silent Wings 2 - Case Fan…
