From my experience with the unit so far I have docked it one star for the following reasons. Firstly the HDD activity light needs to be connected directly the the header on the motherboard. Two reasons this is basically useless is that most people will already have a case LED in this position and secondly this shows HDD activity on the SATA bus of the motherboard not the drive in the caddie specifically. An LED that worked off the backplane makes much more sense but not really a major issue for me. Secondly the instructions are basically useless. Again not a major issue for anyone who has basic experience with installing computer components as it is very simple but for someone with no experience they would need to head to google! Also finally the sticker on the front that says 'Serial ATA 300' is both misleading (because it's not it's dependent on the SATA speed of the controller / board' and also ugly as sin!
While it needs the right sort of motherboard controller and BIOS settings, which I have never tried, it even can allow a hot swap, rather than having to stop and start the whole machine. Having one of these is also good for making back-ups: you can keep the drive with the backed-up data in a secure place, although you should get some drive carrying cases too.
I am installing a second unit, and even on the rather old hardware I have, the BIOS can do some RAID stuff. That's not my plan, but using this sort of device certainly will suit that option. Two of these bays, if you have room in the case, makes it fast and easy to duplicate a drive, though a USB-3 external drive might suit you better.
Maybe the only weakness this could have is cooling. This has a vent, but the airflow depends on fans sucking air out of the case.
Taking that into consideration, the adequate reading, writing and handing of the disks are performed seamlessly, not being noticed many of the normal working operation sound of the disk drives, on both spinning and head operations of the drives.
The disks are less prompt to handling or inadvertent moves with this solution than with those simple SATA cable conversion adapters since the disks are inserted and sitting steady on this slot inserted on a free 5. 1/4 space of your mini, mid or full computer tower.
I think that's the reason I chose it. I've had some units that had built in cooling (Different brand). They had to go back because they developed a god awful whining noise in no time at all (these are "open" so The disk won't overheat). Before that I had something that didn't seem to power enough juice to the disk so it never started properly. I'd all but given up on the idea of being able to swap disks easily but I thought this was worth a punt and I'm glad I did. I'm buying a second one today :)
