Product Description
This 3.5in SATA hard drive hot-swap bay allows you to install two 2.5in SATA (SATA, SATA II, SATA III-6Gbps) hard drives (HDD) or solid state drives (SSD) in an available/unused 3.5in floppy drive bay. Featuring a convenient "no mounting required /easy eject" feature (like a tape cartridge or floppy disk), the hard drive hot swap bay doesn't require that the drives be installed in a tray - making it the ideal solution for quick and easy drive removals and insertions as part of a system building process, or integration into rackmount systems or industrial environments. Also a perfect addition for operating system image deployment and any task that requires being able to quickly access large volumes of data on the fly, the hot swap bay provides everything you need to expedite important projects while maintaining a reliable storage solution. With support for SATA HDD speeds up to 6.0 Gbps, this backplane is fully compatible with RAID installations to ensure maximum performance and versatility for enhanced storage applications.

This review is from: StarTech.com 2 Drive 2.5-Inch Trayless Hot Swap SATA Mobile Rack Backplane HSB220SAT25B (Black) (Personal Computers)
I definitely like these
I can't say whether or not similar devices as these from other manufacturers are better, but so far (over a year now) I am very satisfied with all of the ones I own. they're very sturdy the latch is pretty good I haven't had any problems with drives connecting physically Not sure what else to say The only possible draw back is occasionally having to buy some sort of mounting framework to get it to fit in a 5.25" drive slot rather than the rarer 3.5" slots

This review is from: StarTech.com 2 Drive 2.5-Inch Trayless Hot Swap SATA Mobile Rack Backplane HSB220SAT25B (Black) (Personal Computers)
This device does exactly what it's supposed to do for my application. The tray comes with all of the screws, power and data cables needed to install and connect the tray to your system. My case is tool-less so I didn't need to use the included screws but am glad they came with it. I use this device with one drive as my main O/S and the other for troubleshooting other laptop drives or copying data to my internal storage array. The device says it's supports SATA hot-Swap but my motherboard or internal array controller doesn't so I won't be trying that functionality.
The latch mechanisms on the tray works great when a drive is installed but one always seems to get a little stuck when a drive is not present in the bay and I have to use both hands to get it open, not a show stopper for me, but i can see how it could cause a little trouble for some. Maybe I just need to readjust part of the metal housing that the latch uses to lock the drive in the tray to fix the problem, but I'm fine with the way it works since it will keep the kids from opening the tray and putting objects in them.

This review is from: StarTech.com 2 Drive 2.5-Inch Trayless Hot Swap SATA Mobile Rack Backplane HSB220SAT25B (Black) (Personal Computers)
If you think you'd like to have two 500-GB drives slipped into your computer's floppy-disk (1.4-MB) 3.5" slot, then this is the way to do it. It's fairly well-built, very well designed, and very easy to install. All screws are provided; and fit/finish is first-class.
You don't need any accessory power leads (as in the LP4 to 2 SATA power splitter), because the unit comes with special SATA power leads with four additional wires to a connector for each drive bay to drive blue (disk present) and red (drive active) LED indicators. The blue's a little bright, but not bad. The red becomes magenta as it mixes with the blue LED which is on all the time a drive is installed in the bay. This is a terrific product. I bought a second unit for another install because it's so good. If you don't need extra internal drive space, don't bother, but if you would like removable storage for off-line backup (esp. home video), definitely consider this economical and practical accessory. At $72 for 320 GB (late 2009), WD Scorpio Black 2.5" drives are cheap and reliable storage. Alternatively, go ahead and purchase, record, and store 71 DVD disks.
