Question 1

Does the key need to be used to remove the drive?  I don't see a separate latch that would unlock the drive.

Accepted Answer

No you do not need to use the key. you press on the left and the right larger arm pops out you then grab that metal piece and pull straight out. T put back in you insert and push on the lever to lock it in. This is an awesome product which I use on servers for removable offsite backup using enterprise larger notebook drives. There is an Icy Dock 5.25 drive bay for this unit that will also hold 2 internal notebook drives and the cost is under $10.00
