The Rosewill RSV-SATA-Cage-34 is a hot-swap HDD cage* which converts space of 3 x 5.25” CD-rom / DVD-rom to 4 x 3.5” or 2.5” SATAI, SATAII, SATAIII, or SAS HDD tray. This cage allows you to make better usage of your server or case spaces.
Note: * To use the Hot-Swap feature, please set motherboard BIOS to AHCI and format the HDD using AHCI.
For reliable performance, the Rosewill RSV-SATA-Cage-34 is engineered with optimal cooling in mind. The one rear 120mm exhaust fan effectively dissipates the heat generated by the HDDs.
Made of durable steel and ABS materials, the Rosewill RSV-SATA-Cage-34 is durable enough to withstand years of use.

Pros: You can't beat the value of this cage. It costs like 50-60% of the Icy Dock or IstarUSA cages and it does what it should. The 120mm fan slot is the real advantage of this cage. I've used these 3x5.25">[45]x3.5" cages and none of them seem too have a 120mm fan slot which seems crazy to me especially the 5 drive cages. It is very light so it doesn't burden your case with even more weight.
Cons: I would have preferred SATA power connectors instead of the LP4 connectors. The included fan is not useable for anything but green/desktop drives maybe the NAS drives if you live in cool weather. I believe the airflow is around 40 CFM, which is not going to cool 4 drives for very long before your drives get very hot.
Overall Review: Best value out there for this kind of device. You will need to replace the fan but that is expected. I use 2 of these in my Cooler Master HAF X and they work well on my Enterprise drives. I replaced the fans with 120mm Twister Storm fans and the WD Re drives stay very cool (29-32C ambient=16C). I wish they put the SATA connectors on the right side instead of the left side but I believe this cage was made for their 4U server case.
