StarTech.com SATA wissellijst 3,5 inch zonder bandjes, mobiele harde schijf, opslagrek voor 2 x 6,4 cm (2,5 inch) hot-swap HDD in zwart

Si vos disques 2.5 pouces surtout pour les disques SSD, ne sont pas nomades, installez les dans ce rack 2 tiroirs 2.5".Ils seront alors accessibles instantanément au moment où vous pensez à faire des sauvegardes (on n'en fait jamais trop) sans manipulation.

Ich habe diesen Wechselrahmen in einem Desktop-Gehäuse verbaut. Passt wunderbar in einen 3.5" Einschub und bietet Platz für zwei 2.5" Notebook-Festplatten. Besonders vorteilhaft, wenn man mit mehreren Betriebssystemen arbeitet: einfach Festplatte raus und andere rein und man ist startklar. Oder wenn man sich mal das System zerschießt (Windows war echt mal der Meinung, es müsste zig Cluster neu zuordnen), einfach Festplatte raus und Backup rein - läuft.

Quality accessory. Very useful if you want to have several OSs running without partitioning a single drive. I connected the top drive and used the bottom one to store the dormant one. This means no fiddling with the bios to choose a boot drive. I simply turn the power off and remove the plug before changing out the drive (this possibly isn't strictly necessary). Super product. Very versatile for flexibility. Obviously this could be used in more than one scenario. I needed another Win 7 install to run a game that doesn't work with Win 10. I used a spare SSD drive. My system uses a boot drive with the OS etc and then a storage drive that is a conventional HDD. This works well for a multi OS system because all your docs are available regardless of which boot drive you use. I bought the 3.5 inch without having the structure for a 3.5 drive so I used an adaptor from Maplin (which I already had) to bring it up to 5.25. This took a bit of trial and error to fit. Honestly, how long has it been since PCs used floppy drives? So why make things in 3.5 inch? Having said that it was my bad for ordering the 3.5 version. The power LED is blue and activity shown in a contrasting colour. You could possibly leave the 4 pin connector undone if you didn't want that flashing (being quite bright). All cables and screws included. I used the power cable which uses a standard molex plug to convert for the Sata power and has a 4 pin branch for the LED power. I also used one of the sata cables that come with it rather than my existing sata cable. I disconnected it from the motherboard and connected it to the unit, then pushed the unit into the case and then re-connected the cable back to the motherboard. That was just to save stress on the motherboard connector but it also made it easy to connect to the unit; access to which would otherwise to quite awkward. My boot time appears to be slightly faster, so I wonder if the included cable was slightly better quality than the my existing one.

It fits nicely in a floppy drive bay. Works as expected. The only thing I am wary of is the hot-swap feature. There is no off button; normally a proper off button would cause the memory cache to be committed to the drive and then the drive would spin down and turn off. This device just has the eject button which disengages the drive immediately. So if you eject the drive before all the memory cache has been committed to the drive, you run the risk of damaging files. This really needs to be tested so I'm not deducting any stars.

This works great mounted on the front of PC, I'm able to swap out SSD's pretty much at anytime. You might also need the Star Tech BRACKETFDBK 3.5 Inch Hard Drive to 5.25 Inch Front Bay Bracket Adapter.
