December 17, 201312 yr I'm looking to fill two (2) 5.25" drive bays with three (3) 3.5" hard drives. The 3X2 Cage review - iStarUSA and Icy Dock (and more) thread was helpful, but it's a bit old now, so I thought I'd start a new one to focus on the current options out there. Here's what I'm seeing as serious contenders. Does anyone have strong opinions about or great experiences with any of these? iStarUSA BPN-DE230SS (multiple color options) AMS DS-236TL (multiple color options) ICY DOCK MB153SP-B NORCO SS-300 KingWing KF-3002-BK My top two choices are the iStarUSA and AMS. I see positive praise for the larger iStarUSA, so that seems like a safe bet, but the AMS seems like a worthy product as well. There are also non-swappable bays that would work for my needs. I'm just nervous about some reviewers mentioning that they wouldn't try to cram in three 3.5" drives or that the vibrations reach unacceptable levels. iStarUSA iStorm7 Evercool HD-AR-RBK (Amazon Reviews)
December 18, 201312 yr i like the old kingwin (have 2) but the new ones lack vent holes in the front. I also have one icydock MBP973, works good too. Fan controller on the front is a nice touch.
December 18, 201312 yr Author I am a fan of the norco products. I was thinking Norco, but the reviews have me a bit worried about this drive bay in particular.
