StarTech HSB110SATBK 5.25in Trayless Hot Swap Mobile Rack for 3.5in SATA HDD with LCD & Fan

Pros: On and off by locking the bay with the key.
Has a blue LCD with some indications like the temp.
Small 40mm? fan for air circulation.

Cons: Isn't a hotswap bay.
If you want to get a drive to work, you need to have the computer off while the bay is locked before booting. If you were to have the computer ON and place a drive in the bay. It won't recognize the drive.
And ummm, misleading description?

Other Thoughts: Alright to use, but useless if you want to swap drives WHILE your computer is on.

Pros: Purchased to secure my system drive - the drive bay is rubber isolated - the pin holding the drive door is huge - the lock works and also shuts the unit off when not locked - the drive door is thick not at all fragile like other units, all the internal hardware is made of stainless steel not plastic - the entire unit is made of S/steel except the face-plate and drive door.

Cons: Puny 40mm fan [EZ fix] - cant say anything about hot swap - not used for that.

Other Thoughts: this thing is well made and for the price you cant go wrong

Pros: The bay is reasonably well built.

I like that the key turns the fan & LCD off, extending the life of the fan. More hot swap bays which have a lock should do it that way.

Cons: Doesn't support hot swap with a Samsung 2TB EcoGreen F4 HD204UI, using a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H and Win 7-64. The 2TB drive will be recognized if I boot with it in, but not if it's hot swapped. I've tried both the Intel and the Marvell SATA ports (Intel in RAID mode, Marvell in AHCI mode). However, a 1.5TB drive does hot swap just fine.

I'm not sure why the bay would have an effect, but other internal and external bays I've tried with this drive and motherboard work fine.

Pros: Well thought out and rugged device. Changes the way I do things. Overcomes various limitations using the aging ThermalTake BlackX portable hot dock. The Key is a bother but the design makes sense. Dock is off, fan is off unless you turn it on, saves unnecessary fan noise and drive detection. More useful than I first thought it would be, cloning, restoring images, checking new and suspect drives, etc.

Cons: None really, not a fan of the bells and whistles like the blue display, but it works correctly and looks good if you are fond of this kind of thing.

Other Thoughts: Bought another one.

Pros: Hot swapable drive bay installs easy and works perfect. At first I did not like the lock but as it turns out it works like an on/off switch, a drive can be left in the bay and turned on when needed

Cons: none so far

Pros: They look great in your case. Very "pretty".

Cons: They don't work.

Other Thoughts: Bought 6 of these for our video editing computers. None were ever "hot swap" capable. Only 1 of the 6 enclosures we bought "sort of" worked, and this was only if we rebooted Win 7 with the drive installed and "on".
