There is one oddity; you have to install your HDDs "upside down". Which isn't an issue from a functional perspective, but you may have to twist your wires to get them into the right orientation.
Equally, I'm not sure how well it'd work if you tried to fill all the slots, since the HDDs are all pretty closely wedged in. Both in terms of heat dissipation (less of an issue if you're just using 2.5" SSDs, but more of a concern if you're using several traditional "spinning rust" drives), and in terms of cabling; you might need to use a mix of "angled" and straight power and SATA plugs to get things to co-exist.
But it's working OK for my use-case; I've got a 3.5" HDD and a 2.5" SSD sat in there, and it all seems to be fine!
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.
A great solution for many problems such as transferring large amounts of data between PCs - obviously it helps if each PC has one of these. You could also use it to allow different operating systems or setups on the same hardware. I use it for speedier backups overnight and at the end of the day using Acronis True Image. I then transfer the completed and incremental backups to my NAS in the background whilst I am working. This reduces the actual backup time by 30-40%.
There are a couple of things to consider.
You may need to set up the SATA port as "plug and play" in the bios. This allows you to connect and disconnect the drive as a standard removable drive - just use the Safe to Remove icon to ensure all data has finished writing before you disconnect it.
The drive bay construction is not particularly rigid and so it really needs screwing into the case. This may necessitate removing hands free mechanisms in the drive bay you want to use.
Be aware that the key provided is likely to be the same for each unit of this model. I have three and all the keys are the same.
Although the door seems a little unsubstantial, in use it has been faultless and incredibly convenient. Even with the issues above this is easily a 5 star product that could be developed further.
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 :)
