I practiced opening and closing the bays a few times and everything worked as expected. It didn't quite fit the area I had intended so I put it on its side and secured it with the enclosed screws. It looked good and solid. I started adding the drives in bay 2 and 3 with no issues. But here is where my -1 star comes in. The drives in bay 2 and 3 were HDDs but the drive for bay 1 is an SSD. Don't get me wrong, it eventually worked but I had a little effort getting it lined up even with the SSD caddy. This cage is designed to be used with the bays horizontal with bay 1 on the top. Everything works fine with gravity holding the drives against the rails. Once you break that design...like putting it on its side, gravity doesn't work for you anymore. There are no rails that ensure multiple orientation alignment. So, -1 star for design. One additional note...About the fan...I was worried by other reviewers about the sound of the fan. Once installed though, if the fan was loud then in blended in very well with my other fans in the server (there are 9) and I didn't even notice it.Would I buy it again? Yes, but this time I would pay attention to the orientation. In the end everything worked as expected and at a perfect price point. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but didn't fit my application. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on April 4, 2020* Seems like a pretty solid enclosure. I was planning on converting an old PC to a NAS using this to bump up the drive count. Unfortunately I would have had to buy a new case to do it. To be clear it does fit 3x 5.25 bays as described. The problem for me was the length. It's about an inch longer than a disc drive in my case that pushed it pretty much flush with the back of the power supply. I didn't have enough room to run cables. If the fan were just screwed on instead of enclosed in a little bump out. I probably could have taken that off and made it work.I knocked one star off because I had a fitment issue. I believe everything about this device is as described, I really wanted this to work. I even considered building a "test bench" style NAS and just screwing this to a sheet of plywood. A couple hours in CAD and it just didn't make sense to try to shoehorn this device into the system I wanted. I think these are great products, it just didn't work for me. Take some time to get your measurements and make sure this works for you before you bite the bullet. Note that there is a 15% restocking fee, and you have to pay return shipping to California. Measure twice, checkout once. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I didn't realize how much my IcyDock enclosure sucked before getting these *by R***. on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on June 19, 2019* I had two IcyDock enclosures which were also 4 drives in 3 5.25" bays, but used trays. Otherwise, they were a similar design. I replaced them because one slot in one unit was having intermittent connectivity issues, and I didn't trust that it wasn't the IcyDock unit because the connectors are not well supported and can be bent easily.I ordered three of these units to replace the IcyDock, and so far everything is better about them. No trays is preferable, being able to lock the doors helps prevent accidental removal (though they're not going to prevent theft or anything), and the fans move quite a bit of air. This unit is noisier than the IcyDock, but it's due to high airflow and is the dull sound of air moving.Most importantly, the drives are 10-14C cooler in this enclosure than they were in the IcyDock. Data transfer speeds are also significantly higher, leading me to believe that I had some other issues with a connector or cabling or something - or maybe the backplanes on the IcyDock were just that bad, who knows.Glad I bought three of these to have room to expand since they seem to be high quality. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2980713-bpn-de340ss-blue-3x5-25-to-4x3-5-sas-cage](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2980713-bpn-de340ss-blue-3x5-25-to-4x3-5-sas-cage) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
