Pros & Cons
Pros
The cooling fan is placed to the front (extending only 1/8, so as not to look out of place) the fan also has a dust filter on the front of it. My only serious complaint is that the front fan is not removable.
This module allows you to mount four drives into a shock mounted enclosure that is cooled by a 120x120 mm blue led fan. Western digital hd's without issue. Works very well in my home built nas. Gives me plenty of drive space while giving the drives pl... Read More
The mount is a little tricky to install since the side plates are not attached. It has four screws, a little over kill to me. Wish it used rails instead of screws.
The best thing about this product is it comes with a grill and filter that have the cooler master name & logo on it. Cons:-you need to clean your case very often, this happens due to air has dust particles.
This item is exactly what i was looking for. I have 4 of them, so i guess that's as good a recommendation as i can give. I recommend it and it is worth the money.
Cons
Compared to previous generations of the 4 in 3's, these are flimsy metal and, despite the rubber washers that isolate the cage from the case, can lead to a louder pc. One of the photos on the cooler master web page for the product also shows that ther... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Easy to install, comes with clear instructions and 24 screws, enough to fill it up with hdds
With the drives screwed into place (providing extra cross supports), the unit is very solid.
Hard drives must be screwed into the module and then that gets mounted to the case.
Awkward maintenance loses a star for this product.
Price
A very good improvement for any pc case for a very good price.
While my review notes some personal nuisances, overall this product 5 stars for its price:functionality.
For 30 bucks, i think i'm getting another one of these.
4 additional hard drives in exchange for 3 slot bays and at the price amazon has these listed is a steal!
Shipping
I ordered from tiger direct, it was originally shipped with ups but somehow was transferred to my local postal office for delivery.
Packaging/appearance
5" hdd's and puts them into a tidy little box, with a 120mm fan to keep them all nice and cool.
I am sold on these as the best way to pack the most storage in the smallest space in my computers.
There is a picture in the product images for this that shows the revealed fan and front cover to the side-- don't be misled by this!
My only complaint is that my box only came with one side pre-drilled for the hdd screws, so i currently only have my drives hal... Read More
Competitiveness
And make a version of this with a faster fan with with three speed switch, which i see is available from your competitors for $6 retail.
You'd be hard pressed to find a similar product at a similar price point, all while including a fan.
