Pros: Well constructed. The big benefit is that it’s tray-less and that for the small build is priceless. Easy to install. Cons: Not really a “Con” , but I thought I would mention it. One needs to be careful when using the thin SSD. The handle’s mechanism is designed for the HDD and might not eject the drive when opened. The device that is supposed to come in from the rear and push the drive out of the connector may pass over the top. If you are not using the thinner drives it presents no problem.

Pros: Very convenient way to mount 2 2.5 inch HD and slimline optical drive. It looks cool also. Cons: The first time I tried to use the lock for the left drive, the lock broke off. Would be nice if it came with a slimline optical data/power cable. Overall Review: As stated in the cons section: The first time I tried to use the keyed lock for the left drive, the lock broke off. I used far less force than I would use to open a regular keyed door to my house. The lock simply broke off and came apart before I ever got to lock it for the first time. The drive door still stays closed but I just can’t lock it.
I will be returning this one and buying a new one. If the next one works well and I can update this review to be more favorable, I will.

Pros: Nice multi function case for a slim odd & 2 2.5″ HDDs/SSDs
The slim ODD fit a little snug, but that’s just fine Cons: Be careful of the drive tabs as they are plastic and seem like they could break easily of you’re not being overly careful opening the bays. Overall Review: Built like a tank, except for the drive bay latches. Awesome multi function bay accessory for the $$
For the slim ODD, be sure to order this cable: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812400156
