By not having to secure the 3.5” hard drive in a carrier, no screwdriver is needed, and installation and removal can be done twice as fast. The space of a 5.25” bay is required. It supports SATA hard drives with speeds of SATA I, II, and III. The housing of the hot-swap frame is almost entirely made of aluminum, with only the front and rear panels made of hard plastic. Optionally, a 12V fan can be connected (not included). To protect the hard drive from unauthorized access, the hard drive slot can be locked. An LED indicates operation and access, but there is no alarm for hard drive errors or similar issues. Those who value peace and quiet will appreciate it. Fast hard drive installation and replacement without a carrier. Supports all 3.5” SATA 1.5/3.0/6.0 Gbit/s hard drives. Installation in a standard 5.25” bay. Special aluminum housing for better cooling. Supports Hot Swap and EasySwap. Lock protects against unauthorized access. Fanless design for silent operation. 12V power connection for an additional fan if needed.
