Our take on the 5-Bay Hot Swap HDD Enclosure for 3x 5.25" Drive Bays

This is a 5-bay hot-swap drive cage that fits into three 5.25-inch optical bays in a desktop case. It holds five 3.5-inch SATA hard drives, or five 2.5-inch drives, or SAS drives, and each bay is hot-swappable over SATA I/II/III. An aluminium and plastic frame with one exhaust fan keeps drives cooled. It suits home servers, NAS builds, surveillance recording and media workstations that need several drives in one case; it is a bare enclosure with no backplane controller, so drives connect straight to the motherboard or a RAID card.

Questions and answers

Does it need a RAID controller?
No controller is included. Each bay passes the drive through to your own SATA ports or RAID/HBA card, so RAID and JBOD depend on what you connect.
Can I mix 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives?
Yes. The cage takes 3.5-inch SATA, 2.5-inch SATA and SAS drives, so you can mix sizes across the five bays.
How many case bays does it use?
It occupies three 5.25-inch drive bays and holds five drives in that space.
Is hot-swap safe on any system?
Hot-swap works only if your controller and OS support it. The maker says not to pull a drive while it is reading or writing, and to cut power before installing the module.
What cooling does it have?
One exhaust fan is fitted. With five drives spinning, check drive temperatures and consider better airflow in the case.
What is in the box?
One hot-swap HDD enclosure. Drives, cables and controllers are not included.
