Pros

The included sleds seem to be a durable plastic and unless you're really rough handling them, they should last for many years. The enclosure is made out of metal and the two 2 1/2 drive bay drawers are made from high quality plastic or polymer.

Each drive slot has its own little disk caddy tray, and the drive slot is directly connected to an available sata port.

Other than the price, i think these are fantastic. Appears to be solid & thoughtful construction. Just a note on the sheerness rating.

Overall, i am highly pleased with the accessory i picked up.

    This is really only a concern if you have children around who may inadvertently eject the drive


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Just hope you dont need to move the drives around or replace them very often because ejecting the drives is very difficult


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Sometimes it doesnt work exactly as intended when you hot swap a drive sometimes it does


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have found if it doesnt you may need to eject the drive and try again

    All of my sata power cables are rightangle and it was a very tight fit to get bith plugged in there is a lot of stress on them because i had to squeeze and bend them in a tight spot and in order to allow sata data cables to plug in

    Ssds seemed to hold fine but the one hdd i put in needed the screws to stay secured to the try


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Could use some type of locking mechanism
