HDD Caddy of sorts

stokecity_m · 2 Mar 2011 at 00:11

What i'm looking for is a 5.25" slot HDD caddy that would allow me to just slot the hdd in and out at will via the font.

IS there anything like this out there?

Perfect thanks.

Have you any experience with them?
I just wondering how the HDD gets removed? Maybe push it to release?

None at all. I just knew what to look for

.

I have used ones with a caddy, but not these type. Maybe look on you tube or a review somewhere?

Cheers, had a look on youtube and it appears that the Antec model has a push button release.

I use a Stardock one that fits in a 3.5 bay and takes 2 plain 2.5 HDDs.

Don't think Overclockers stock em, but it's an excellent bit of kit. Much more useful than a floppy drive!

I bought an Icy Dock trayless a few months ago, one of the best purchases I've ever made. It's so useful to be able to slot a random SATA drive in whenever I need it. Great to prep a drive before a rebuild, great for backups, or checking out old drives.
