Damn cool. Replace that old 3.5 " drive with something useful!

Damn cool. tower body. In these days of tiny little cases and tiny laptops, it's nice to own a mid- to large-sized tower case full of drives, with six fans pushing through the air and glowing inside like a Christmas tree. I have room for six hard drives, 2 DVD/Blu-Ray drives and my XM radio. BUT - unfortunately, one holdover from that old case was a 3.5" floppy drive whose only function was to poke a 3.5" hole since the bezel cover was long gone. What to do? Are you leaving an old floppy drive…

Pros
  • Low profile design for small form factor applications such as small industrial PCs, surveillance systems, embedded systems, automation systems, aerospace systems and mobile DVR systems
Cons
  • Secret

Installation was quick and easy. It's a solid device

Exactly what I wanted. It satisfies all declared properties. Installation was quick and easy. This is a solid device. I will buy it again. I would recommend it to anyone looking for the same type of setup. I use it for my BOOT-SSHD and will buy additional bays for backup drives.

Pros
  • Removable drive tray design for easy maintenance and full SATA hot-swap support
Cons
  • Useless features

Damn cool. Replace that old 3.5 " drive with something useful!

Damn cool. i have a whole body Tower case, full drive, with six fans blowing air and glowing inside like a Christmas tree. I have room for six hard drives, 2 DVD/Blu-Ray drives and my XM radio. BUT - unfortunately a remnant of the old case was a 3.5" floppy drive whose only function was to plug the 3.5" hole as the bezel cover was long gone. What to do? Are you leaving an old floppy drive lying uselessly in the front of the case, taking up valuable space? NO Enter the ICY DOCK 2.5" drive…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Well done, but if you're buying for activity, go ahead.

Well assembled but no matter what drive I tried I couldn't get the activity monitor to work. I tried 6 different drives from laptop to corporate SAS, none of them caught fire. Luckily it wasn't the biggest deal for my app, but I won't buy it again.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok
