Question 1

Will this work in a case that uses low profile cards?

Accepted Answer

No, this definitely requires a full height slot.

Question 2

how many spaces would this take up? looks like two if one used a 3.5" HDD

Accepted Answer

It takes up about 2 and a half if using a full size 3.5 inch drive, so 3. Full size hard drives can only be mounted on one side and it makes it take up more room. I bought 2 and I originally wanted to mount them side by side in the PCI slots, however I didn't have Six available slots, so instead I bent the portion that went into the bottom of the PCI slot and made it so I could hang them from inside of the case, then I secured it using zip ties.

Question 3

Is there any problem with sagging?  I'd like to use a fairly beefy 3.5'' HDD

Accepted Answer

In a tower config yes

Question 4

Is the rear panel able to be flipped so my 3.5" would be sitting right-side up instead of hanging up-side down?  From the photos, the whole bracket appears to be a solid piece of metal, but I figured I'd ask anyway.  Thanks

Accepted Answer

No
