## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the 2.5" slot hold a 15mm thick HDD ? ? ?**
A: Dear Customer,Thank you for your interest in Syba products.The HDD bay is 10mm thick. Unfortunately this dimmension will not support a 15mm thick HDD.Regards, SYBA CST RZ161122

**Q: Does this >>> tray less rack for 2.5" sata hdd/ ssd <<< there is no rack for the ssd???**
A: There is a door on the enclosure for SSDs. It is the small door with the silver button and silver strip on it. Your SSD slides directly in there.

**Q: can this be used to install a DVD/ bluray player removed from a laptop?**
A: It will depend on the size of the optical drive. First, you will have to remove the front cover from the driver or it will not fit in the bay. Most optical drives are wider than standard 3.5" drives and will not fit in the adapter bay. It probably will not work mechanically, even though it would work electronically. The 2 bays are 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches wide respectively so there is no way to fit a 5.25 inch optical drive into the bay. You can install the optical drive internally, I have done it myself.

**Q: Where can i also get the rack for 2.5" sata hdd/ ssd?**
A: Dear Customer,
It's built into this enclosure. You just slide your 2.5" HDD or SSD into the slot covered by the door on this enclosure.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Two Interfacing SAS Connectors In Back are SFF-8087
*by T***N on December 15, 2024*

Solid Build, Easy to setup.Documentation from Manufacturers Syba's website and here, are lacking as to what SAS connector it uses.SFF-8087 is that connector on this unit, for those whom are uncertain, unfamiliar.Once I ordered the correct cables, SFF-8643 to SFF-8087, to connect to a Highpoint Rocketraid 840c,Which uses the SFF-8643 on it's end, everything else was smooth.Side note,If having issues sliding trays back into place once this unit has been installed inside a computer case, check to see if a mounting screw used to secure it in, is blocking the drive tray from sliding back in.Back the screw off a bit to allow the tray to slide in with ease. My only gripe.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well built, compact RAID storage answer
*by C***N on March 13, 2024*

This is likely the best built multi-full-height-2.5" drive mounting solution on Amazon. There are others, if you're using nothing but SSDs, but at the price of SAS SSDs versus spinning rust SAS drives, as well as the diminishing redundancy caused by larger capacity drives, this makes a perfect solution for a decent RAID enclosure for one's desktop tower computer. Much less expensive than even many of the 8-drive SAS enclosures meant for smaller SSDs, and made of mostly metal construction versus the other ones out there. Throw in eight enterprise SAS drives of modest (~1.5-2TB) size and you've got a great solution for a RAID 5+0, 6+0 or 1+0 ultra-reliable or ultra-fast large-ish storage bin. Offload all those important files to a 10 or 20TB external drive that you take to off-site locations and you're pretty much covered for data integrity. As you grow and upgrade (who wants to spend $500+ each - that's $4000!!! - on eight 8TB SSDs today?) to large SSDs at a later date when they become more affordable, this enclosure will still work. One can have quite a large, reliable, fast storage bin with eight 4-8TB SSDs - all of which this hardware will accommodate. So far, so good, it looks nice and stays cool. If it continues to work well, I will grab a SAS extender and another one of these enclosures in the near future, as my old tower case has room for exactly one more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a nice space saver when you have a short chassis.
*by H***Y on July 16, 2016*

This is a nice space saver when you have a short chassis. Lian Li makes great solid enclosures for ATX boards but to get the space for the internal drives, power supply, and motherboard they sacrificed external cutouts. This trayless device lets you have cold storage for backups so that you can just push a drive in, do your backup, and then extract the drive. It has a nice feature of an on/off switch so that you can leave the drive in and turn it off so that your cold storage is still in the system but not powered on.One interesting thing about this enclosure is that to cram both a 2.5 inch trayless and 3.5 inch trayless into the space of a 5.25 bay they had to use a connector on the tray that isn't a true female SATA connector. It is a SATA connector with the top plastic part of the connector removed. As a result, when you insert the drive, the SATA contacts mate through pressure from the bottom without any way to mate with the connector on the top or to maintain a tight connection with drives that are thin. So far, Hitachi, Seagate, and WD 3.5 inch drives all follow a standard thickness and mate perfectly. But 2.5 inch drives vary in thickness and I found that my Corsair SSD is too thin and so doesn't maintain a tight enough connection to be reliable. A Samsung SSD is a little thicker and works just fine. A HGST mechanical drive that I pulled from a laptop is too thin to maintain a connection.The locking mechanism is very solid and it is spring loaded so it is easy to get drives out. The front LEDs are dual color so they change color when the drive is being accessed. The USB3 passthrough works as expected.I took one star off due to the way the drives connect unreliably without a true female connector for the drive. The enclosure is fully open from the top and I don't see any reason that a full female connector wouldn't have worked in the enclosure.
