5.0 out of 5 stars Working great for 2 years

2026-01-22    -Ray

I bought this almost 2 years ago and use it in an Intel i5 CPU/Windows 7 machine. It appears solidly built and was easy to install (I build machines sometimes so it was easy for me at least). I needed to be able to easily "cold"-swap SSD drives (including the operating system drive), and for this it has worked flawlessly. I always shutdown the machine between swapping drives, and so have never needed to hot-swap drives so cannot comment on how hot-swap works.When I first ordered it I wondered how long the latches would hold up, based on how small the latch buttons looked in the picture. But I actually like how the buttons work and have had no trouble so far. Basically, you push the button towards the right which opens the spring-loaded door and ejects the drive part-way. You then slide in the new drive and close the door until the button clicks to latch the door closed.

Works great, nice and easy to handle 2.5 SSD's

This works great mounted on the front of PC, I'm able to swap out SSD's pretty much at anytime. You might also need the Star Tech BRACKETFDBK 3.5 Inch Hard Drive to 5.25 Inch Front Bay Bracket Adapter.

Excellent pour des disques SSD

Si vos disques 2.5 pouces surtout pour les disques SSD, ne sont pas nomades, installez les dans ce rack 2 tiroirs 2.5".Ils seront alors accessibles instantanément au moment où vous pensez à faire des sauvegardes (on n'en fait jamais trop) sans manipulation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid product. Faster than advertsised...

As another reviewer mentioned, this thing is definitely clocking in at Sata3, 6gbps speeds. I tested a Corsair Neutron GTX with AS-SSD using this thing and the score was over 1000, which is an incredible score. Oddly, the box my mobile-rack came in only said it supported Sata2 speeds. The website here says it supports sata3 speeds. Frankly I don't even think there is any kind of chipset interface that would matter for speed, seems to be simple pass through. Just know you won't be surprised with any bottlenecks.The doors mechanism feels solid and works well with an SSD.Installation was slightly tricky at first. I was putting this into a 3.5 to 5.25 bay adapter. It was frustrating because I didn't have a magnetic screwdriver thin and long enough to fit where it needed. Then I remembered an old trick where you can magnetize any screwdriver by rubbing a magnet on it, and installation was a breeze. Probably only applies when using a bay adapter but I think that's going to be a common use of this, for desktop users.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quick Failures

I purchased two of these. The first failed after 1 day, the second failed after 2 months. Suddenly unusable with no power or lights for the drive bays. The drives function otherwise.

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.

Gut geeignet zum schnellen HDD-Wechsel

2025-12-23    -A.S.

Ich habe diesen Wechselrahmen in einem Desktop-Gehäuse verbaut. Passt wunderbar in einen 3.5" Einschub und bietet Platz für zwei 2.5" Notebook-Festplatten. Besonders vorteilhaft, wenn man mit mehreren Betriebssystemen arbeitet: einfach Festplatte raus und andere rein und man ist startklar. Oder wenn man sich mal das System zerschießt (Windows war echt mal der Meinung, es müsste zig Cluster neu zuordnen), einfach Festplatte raus und Backup rein - läuft.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well made, looks great and operates great, BUT..

Well made, looks great and operates great, BUT...This unit cannot be locked, which is an issue if the SSD is holding your OS.So, nice drive tray, but probably not a good idea for a drive holding your OS.BTW - KingWin does make a locking version
