ehauk Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I'm not sure what happened recently, but it seems that all the low cost hard drive cages have disappeared. I add storage about once a year so I don't mind opening the case and sliding a drive in. I was looking at the Rosewill RSV-Cage which is now gone from amazon and newegg. Previously I had my eye on some from xigmatech and cooler master, but those dropped off the face of the earth too. Does anyone know where I can find a 4 x 3 cage with a fan on the front in the $10 to $20 dollar range? Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 $10 to $20 ?? That's a VERY aggressive price range. You may be able to buy a few on e-bay ... here's an auction with a min bid of $9.99 for the excellent CoolerMaster 4-in-3 unit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cooler-Master-4-in-3-Device-Module-Cage-with-120mm-fan-fits-4-x-3-5-drives-/201328110255?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ee0172aaf ... No guarantee of just what it might sell for; but if you're lucky there may not be any competing bids I agree it's getting difficult to find some of these cages that used to be readily available for $30 or so.

ehauk Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 The Rosewill was $12 only 3 days ago on amazon. I need 3, they had 2. I should have looked harder for a 3rd. My OCD prevents me from having mismatched hardware. Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 $12 was an amazing price ... that's not much more than the cost of the fan !! Quote Link to comment
Spotswood Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 2-for-1 at Amazon: Norco 5 x 3.5" HDD Hard Drives SSD Cage with 120mm Cooling Fan I used those to build a simple "box of drives." Quote Link to comment
Bigdady92 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 spend them extra cash and get something of quality and simplicity. Get an Icy Dock 5n3 and call it a day. You'll thank yourself. I rock 3 of them in my storage array and could not be happier with their performance. Quote Link to comment
