Pros

This fits 5, 3. Hd's in 3, 5. There are competitors who sell 4-bay 3. It fits in the cases 3 5. If your rig has three 5. Hd's this thing supports 3. This fits *five* hot-swap 3.

My only real complaints concern the price flimsy hdd trays material and the fact that they did not account for the 5

Its made cheap but for the price thats what you get

Packaging/appearance

Was a tight fit and scraped the labels off trying to get it in

Before i got my fatcage today i was worried about airflow in this nanoxia case over the drives i would be putting inside the fatcage

I bought a quitter fan along with this hard drive enclosure but it is not the loudnes imho that is the problem

Competitiveness

Also use power cables that came with your psu i had accidently mixed in a thermaltake cable with my corsair psu
