Description
This SATA hard drive dock/docking station can be mounted internally in a 5.25in computer drive bay, to provide simple access to 2.5in or 3.5in SATA hard drives. Featuring a convenient trayless design, the internal hard drive dock doesn't require that hard drives be mounted in an enclosure, saving time and hassle. Once the docking station is connected to the host computer, it's as simple as inserting the desired SATA hard drive into the slot(s) as needed for full access to the hard drive(s) as though installed conventionally within the computer case.
The HDD dock accommodates both 2.5in and 3.5in SATA hard drives and can support one of each at the same time. Plus, when the 3.5in slot is not in use, two 2.5in drives can be inserted simultaneously.
The 5.25in bay-mounted SATA Hard Drive Dock features front panel power control, allowing you to power the drives on/off as needed.

3,5 Drive hangs out of the Front
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 21/07/2010
When considering this enclosure pay close attention to the physical size of the device.
It isn't actually large enough to fit a 3.5 drive inside. It is designed to have the drive protruding from the front of the bay.
Fine if you want very temporary access to a disk, but for longer term use it is not suitable.
