The doors mechanism feels solid and works well with an SSD.
Installation was slightly tricky at first. I was putting this into a 3.5 to 5.25 bay adapter. It was frustrating because I didn't have a magnetic screwdriver thin and long enough to fit where it needed. Then I remembered an old trick where you can magnetize any screwdriver by rubbing a magnet on it, and installation was a breeze. Probably only applies when using a bay adapter but I think that's going to be a common use of this, for desktop users.
When I first ordered it I wondered how long the latches would hold up, based on how small the latch buttons looked in the picture. But I actually like how the buttons work and have had no trouble so far. Basically, you push the button towards the right which opens the spring-loaded door and ejects the drive part-way. You then slide in the new drive and close the door until the button clicks to latch the door closed.
I gave it 4 stars shipped with missing cable.
You don't need any accessory power leads (as in the LP4 to 2 SATA power splitter), because the unit comes with special SATA power leads with four additional wires to a connector for each drive bay to drive blue (disk present) and red (drive active) LED indicators. The blue's a little bright, but not bad. The red becomes magenta as it mixes with the blue LED which is on all the time a drive is installed in the bay.
This is a terrific product. I bought a second unit for another install because it's so good. If you don't need extra internal drive space, don't bother, but if you would like removable storage for off-line backup (esp. home video), definitely consider this economical and practical accessory. At $72 for 320 GB (late 2009), WD Scorpio Black 2.5" drives are cheap and reliable storage. Alternatively, go ahead and purchase, record, and store 71 DVD disks.
After recording the numbers, I inserted the SSDs into this StarTech bay. The Samsung SSDs inserted very easily (a really nice fit)and ejected the same way. After running the benchmark utilities again, the benchmarking numbers were the same! The backplane is totally passive - meaning that it will not increase or impede the speed of the drives installed. This bay WILL NOT affect the throughput of the devices. Although the label states "maximum data transfer rates up to 3.0 Gbps", it will run at 6.0 Gbps.
I didn't buy this for hot-swapping but "cold-swapping" would be a breeze. Perfect for the newer SSDs which tend to use a lower profile. Samsung SSDs are 0.28 inch high or 7mm. This StarTech Hot Swap Bay will accommodate SSDs that are taller than the Samsung ones that I'm using. The bay is heavy metal, very solid feeling, and fits in a 3.5 inch floppy bay. The doors appear to be plastic but seem sturdy enough for daily home usage.
The price seems a bit high but it does everything it's suppose to do. Hot-swap for this bay means that it is capable of PHYSICALLY hot-swapping your storage devices. Hot swapping itself is totally dependent on your operating system's configuration and hardware setup. I'm very happy that I chose this bay.

Adatto anche per workstation o pc di marca dove lo spazio d'installazione di più hard disk è ridotto. Completo di cavetteria alimentazione sata e pata. Testata la facilità di rimozione e installazione SSD allo spegnimento del pc in pochi secondi senza aprire il case.
Es un producto Duro para uso profesional. Este es la cuarta unidad que he comprado, todas funcionando sin problemas, metiendo y sacando SSD de forma habitual, y sin problemas ni falsos contactos.
Es totalmente metalico con un alto nivel de acabado, certificado ISO 9001, (lo garantizo absolutamente)...
Esta unidad es muy util; Si solo tienes un PC, y necesitas tener separado 2 sistemas operativos, 1 con los programas cargados que quieres para el uso diario de internet-ofimatica, y otro SSD para Editar video profesional, o mezclar, masterizar audio: Tan solo sacas el SSD, y metes el otro SSD, y tienes un PC completamente diferente en segundos...
Ningun producto de este tipo te garantiza que funcione con SATA 3, los fabricantes se cubren las espaldas porque si el cable no es bueno te puede bajar la velocidad a SATA 2. Este me ha funcionado en las 4 unidades compradas a SATA 3, comprobado con cristalmark, me da las velocidades que indica el fabricante de los SSD, por lo tanto esta funcionando sin dudas en SATA3...
