For the past year we have been using this once a month with a 16TB drive to replace tape drive backups of an Ubuntu server - takes less than 10 hours to write almost 4.5 TB over a USB 3.0 connection (one drive holds 3 monthly backups). No issues yet.


Reliable data backups (no corruption) Reliable hardware.

It did fit a Slim Optical Drive. That a Optical drive that's used in a laptop for example. Part of my rating is that Newegg knows what they are doing. The First vender on Newegg's list did not deliver. I will leave that for customers to figure out. The least expensive vender is not always the best way to go. Now for the device itself. It works great. It also gives me an extra by for a 3.5" HDD or other drive device like a card reader. Icy Dock makes awesome bay adapters. Everything installed fine. The SATA power adapter is best thing too. You need this adapter to use a Laptop Optical Drive in a desktop PC. Icy Dock did not miss a trick.


useful and works very nice and a good value


1. Small footprint; 2. Easy to use - typical plug and play; 3. USB C to USB A adapter - crucial for desktops with USB C port at the back (like mine) or laptops without USB C port(s): 4. USB 3.0 - relatively fast data transfer; 5. Nicely shaped, neutral colour, unobtrusive - very elegant design; 6. REASONABLY PRICED - a rarity these crazy days!

-Fits well in my tiny prebuild mini atx case. -no cable needed for power from the psu





I needed this for a couple of case fans I replaced. The prior ones where powered by molex and the new ones came with a hub that required a USB2.0 port. I only have 2 USB3 ports available on my motherboard, so I got this because both were already being used, one by my CPU fan and the other by my WiFi/Bluetooth card. Requires one USB2.0/3 connector on your motherboard and SATA power.

zip tie do job well



Pros - Packaged well, White, clean, no dust, bubble wrap packaging, Pcie express slot was covered in protection I tested this on a rtx 5060 8gb gpu plugged it in this kit and made sure the fans spin and it did and looks clean, I plan to buy an lian li A3 case for my other pc.
