Good internal hotswap bay for 3 drives?

deathman20 · 01-25-11, 11:18 AM

Curious if anyone has a good internal hotswap bay solution for 3 drives that fit in 2x 5 1/4" bay slots?

Ideal would be....

- Hot swap of course
- Ability to lock the drives in (think this is pretty standard)
- Ability to turn off the power to the drives without removing them

2 Products i've been looking at

Seen this one some time back, was curious if anyone has used it, its come down in price was around $75-80 before.

Newer out there, its a Thermaltake so not sure how they are on these accessories though don't think it has the power function like the other.

Still probably a few months away but starting to look into options again to condense some of the devices I have floating around my office area since I know I'll be downsizing my space in the next year or so. Just curious if anyone has something comparable out there and has seen it or has one in operation currently.

ICY DOCK makes a great product and has excellent build quality a bit on the expensive side though.

2nd on Icy Dock. It's all we sell for hot swap bays and have had great success with them.

Man don't know how I missed that one. Got a ICY DOCK single bay one right now and it works good... the mini fan on it is loud on start up but other then that its been good to me.
