Thought this looked like good product, very disappointed! Doesn’t eject the drives…I’ve tried drives by Intel, Micron, and WD…none work or fit correctly. Now my drives are scratched up from prying them out of the slots.

It seems to be understood that ‘hot swap’ means the ability to remove a HDD while the PC is **powered on** In your attached user guide, it clearly says at the top of Page 3 : “Please note: It is strongly recommended that the computer be POWERED DOWN when removing drives from HSB220SAT25B, as removing drives while in use can damage the drive and any data contained within.” Is there some other device that needs to be connected between this and the PC to ensure the drives are powered down before they are removed??

I’ve been using these hot swap drive bays for many years, we’ve sold hundreds of them with all the PC’s we build. They have gotten better as time went by, but the best improvement was made recently. Startech added clip retainer slots for the SATA cables. Now when we connect the SATA cables the clips “click” and stay securely in place. Before this improvement we had to perform a number of techniques to hold the cables in place. This was always the weak link in our systems. Way to go Startech, you are definitely listening and improving your products!

bought the old version of this and it was great for my 9mm HDDs. however after i while i moved onto 7mm SSDs which were not supported by the mechanism. told startech about my problem and they simply replaced my old model for the newer product free of charge. first class service. A+++++
