There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My old case (a Thermaltake MK1 Cruiser) had a hot swap drive bay built into the top of the case, and it has been used extensively, as that hot swap drive bay has been used to make backups - insert the first 14 TB drive, start the "A" part of the backup, remove the first drive and insert the second 14 TB drive, start the "B" part of the backup, etc. That process has worked extremely well over years and I was very disappointed to not be able to find a case with a built-in hot swap drive bay.
I found a case that has two 5.25" external drive bays (Thermaltake Core V71) and bought the StarTek Trayless Hard Drive Hot Swap Bay for one of the two 5.25" external drive bays.
Before I continue, I should pass along some reminders regarding "Hot Swap" and Windows and drive letters.
First, generally you need to go into the motherboard BIOS settings and enable "Hot Swap". In my experience every BIOS likes to call the setting something different, so read your BIOS manual until you find it. Also, sometimes it is a "SATA" setting, sometimes it is a PCI-E setting, so read the BIOS manual cover to cover.
Second, in Windows 10 (I'm avoiding Windows 11) you will need to enable "Hot Swap" in Device manager. As Microsoft like to change things, and if I provide instructions today, Microsoft will change things by tomorrow, I'm just going to suggest you do a search for the "current" way to enable "Hot Swap" on a drive.
Third, in Windows Microsoft likes to put "Hot Swap" devices in the list of drive letters depending upon which other devices exist. For example, all of my M.2 SSDs have low letters (C, E, F), and my mechanical 14 TB hard drive started out as drive "G", but I had to move it to "L" because when I plugged in a USB flash drive, or a camera's flash memory card, or inserted a hard drive into the "Hot Swap" drive bay, Windows decided to "change" the drive letter assigned to the 14 TB hard drive and put the USB flash drive, or memory card, or "Hot Swap" drive bay's drive where the 14 TB hard drive was, and give it a new drive letter like "H" or "J" or ... The net result was that the 14 TB internal hard drive became drive "L" (for now) and Windows assigns whatever it wants to the drive letters G, H, I, J, and K. What I'll probably do is assign a new drive letter to the 14 TB drive (which started out as "G", then became "L", and will probably end up as "S" or something like that).
Thus, a word of caution...
Make sure there are PLENTY of drive letters left unused between where Windows decides it wants to place your USB Flash drives, camera memory cards, and the "Hot Swap" drive when inserted into the dock, so that you don't have "drive letter chaos" where a program using your "G" drive suddenly finds "G" points to a different drive that doesn't have the directory tree structure and files it expects (been there, got clobbered by that).
Just to be clear, the StarTech Hot Swap drive bay WORKS GREAT! if you have any problems it will probably be with how Windows assigns drive letters.
Unfortunately, 5.25" bays are becoming obsolete in newer smaller builds and 2.5" drives are taking over so this product will not be relevant for many years to come, but I will always have at least one case for this as long as I have extra 3.5" drive laying around for storage. I wish I found this product a few years sooner.

Wem die Server Optik (silberner Öffnungshebel und durchsichtige LED Fassungen nicht gefällt) sollte zum vollkommen identischen Wechselrahmen "IB-166SSK-B" von ICY BOX greifen. Dieser ist vollkommen in schwarz gehalten was in schwarzen PC-Gehäusen besser aussieht. Diesem Rahmen liegt allerdings kein Molex Stomversorgungskabel bei sondern nur die SATA Version. StarTech hat beide Versionen beigelegt.
Die LED sind in Wirklichkeit Taster mit eingebauten LED wovon nur die LED verwendet werden. (Der Grundrahmen wird von ICY BOX auch für ein geschlossenes Wechselrahmen Model mit Lüfter und Lüftersteuerung verwendet wobei der obere Taster zum Ein/Ausschalten der Festplatte und der untere für die Lüftersteuerung genutzt wird).
Computerbastler können die Tastenfuktion nutzen indem zwei Kabel an die Lötpunkte des Tasters gelötet werden um diesen zum Beispiel als "Reset" Taster des Computers zu verwenden wenn das Gehäuse selbst keinen Reset Taster besitzt.
キーロックの有無は関係なくHDDを挿入すると通電し、
前面レバーを引いて取り出そうとすると給電が止まります。
※ hot swapには接続先のSATAポートとOSが共に対応している必要があります
ファンポートにファンを接続してあると、通電時にのみファンが回ります。
ファンは付属していないので別途用意する必要があります。
取り出しは後ろからレバーで押す仕組みでスムースです。
今までガシャポンをたくさん使ってきましたが、かなりいいものだと思いました。
