IStarUSA Group Trayless Hot Swap BPN DE110SS BLACK Review

I have 6 5 bay versions in my server (yes 30 drives) so I bought this 1 bay version for another machine . on which I change the hard drives for testing. I've been using the 5-bay version (with built-in fans) for a few months now and the drive temperatures have actually dropped.

Solid construction, great value. Fits perfectly in Dell Optiplex so should work in ANY standard 5.25" bay including those with rails. I only needed the adapter rails, but I didn't have a cover plate for the front of the 5.25" bay. This option was cheap enough, and the trayless design saves me a lot of hassle if I ever need to change a drive. I like this one Adapter really because it's simple but well made no frills just does its job and does it right Quiet operation is very important to me and…

The single drive bay installed into the case without tools, but I used the four screws provided to secure it during hard drive installation. The installation went smoothly and the SATA power and data connection made the installation complete. The onboard SATA connection is pass-through, meaning there are no drivers to install and you get the speed and performance of your motherboard's SATA connection.
