📁 ICY DOCK Tray-Less SATA SSD/HDD Docking Enclosure Mobile Rack for Hot Swap Drive Bay - flexiDOCK MB795SP-B 2.5" and 3.5". Review

5.25" bays are still very useful these days, even though more and more PC cases these days are choosing not to include any bays at all. This particular hot-swappable bay is an extremely useful tool, especially if you do a lot of data work. I like to take frequent backups of my data in case of a failure, and this dock makes opening up the PC and manually connecting the drive from the inside a lot easier. Installation in my Fractal Design Define R5 case was very easy and screws are included, but…

I liked the idea of installing an additional hard drive in the empty slot under the Blue Ray player. It installed easily enough, but the first time I put the drive in the bay, the plastic 3.5" SATA connector broke off. Upon inspection, the pin clip was held in place by two small soldered wires encased in plastic. m is clumsy, but it would be easy to establish a more secure connection.

This solved a lot of little problems for me. Using this clean computer maintenance workstation eliminates the need for SATA and a power cord hanging loose from the case. Drive testing, file system repair, and data extraction are faster than USB adapters while saving desktop space. Robust construction and well thought-out design. Using only one SATA power connector allows for tidier cable management. Disc loading and ejection is clean, safe and easy. Pivoting doors and ejection levers are no…

The Revain listing does not contain a full description. The drive bay requires TWO (2) SATA connectors. The description states that it is compatible with all external drive cases. The external drive enclosure has ONE (1) SATA connector; I was expecting this to have a single SATA connection where the drives would share the connection. The reason I bought this item was to have an external drive that I could load 2.5 and 3.5 discs into as needed. Now I've found that I can only use a 2.5 or 3.5 bay

I saw it on video, it looked good so I ordered one along with some SSD drives. I was forced to learn Windoz 10, but I also wanted to keep my Windows 7 in case Windows 10 explodes and I need to install something. There's other software that Windoz 10 doesn't like. I know I could do a duel boot, but I didn't want to. Now it's so easy to change, it's crazy. I used my old hard drive as a data drive on E: in hopes that Windows would make it harder to kill. I even bought a third SSD and am learning…

It worked for about an hour, then it started reading discs incorrectly. At one point he thought 1TB was 16GB, and some drives (which I tested in an external USB dock that worked great) wouldn't read at all. That tells me this is really VERY VERY bad craftsmanship. Well, before you get into that "maybe you did something wrong" state. I've been repairing computers for over 30 years, I know my stuff and for some reason my business has a legitimate 5 star rating on Google. I know what I'm talking…
