What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Device works great, as expected. Unit is nice and compact. For the price, this internal tray rack is perfect.
The dock connects to a standard sata power connector and a sata port on the computer motherboard. The added usb ports share a long cable seeking a usb 3 header connection. Works as expected hotswap external sata bay. Seems fine with hot-swapping drive... Read More
Internal spring pressured lever at the back of each bay keeps drives firmly in place. Auto-eject feature allows you to remove or change drives without powering off the pc.
Cons

Price
It has helped me so much and the price is unbeatable
For the price this internal tray rack is perfect
Over all i would say this is a good buy for the price
It does the job and it is not expensive
Packaging/appearance
The product came is perfect condition and has been very helpful
The package contained all of the cables necessary including the two sata cables
While the 4 of these that i ordered are in working condition with no issues i was sent one which was clearly an open box item
Competitiveness
I like this feature better than what my icy dock provides which is three times the cost of this unit

The metal frame is a bit flimsy but if installed properly wont budge
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The biggest drawbacks are 1 no fan disks are very hot if in work continuously 2 will not install screwlessly the interior ridge is too deep so it stays too far from the hdd cage frame and wont let the screwless latches lock
