If at all possible, you will want to screw the drawer to the case. If your case, like mine, only has mounting rails, there is a good chance that the drawer will not make great contact. This is because of the very thin metal used where the rail attaches, the fact this metal is only supported on the bottom, and that the attachement point are rubber gromets (great for sound isolation but bad for rigidity). I have no greats purchasing the drawer, it is great product, but to get more stars it would need to be more rigid.

This little tray does exactly what I need: an option to insert/remove my SATA backup drive whenever I needed. Granted, if you don't have hot swap support, you will need to turn off the computer first. Pros: - Nicely build for the price - Sliding mechanism is easy to use - The drive is lockable - Easy install. You don't really need a manual in order to install this. Installs like a regular CD-ROM with 4 screws. Cons: - There is no activity light. Useless wire plug is provided for the motherboard's activity light. All in all great HD tray for the price.

Got a bunch of these for me and my friends. We are pack rats and are always running out of storage spaces. This solves all the problem. Fill up one drive. take it out and put it away and install a new one. The only potential problem is if your case uses a rail mounting system for the 5 1/4" bay. The rubber shock mount linking the inner drive bay to the outer mounting plates is a bit soft and the mounting rail may not snap into place. Easy solution is to put a piece of firm foam in between the inner drive bay and the outer mounting plate.
