Good quality, works, but not perfect
Item took just a week to arrive from the US, so pretty quick. Better quality than the competition variants and I prefer this push in / pull out variant to the ones that have an eject button as this system is simpler and much less to go wrong.Fitting was fairly easy, but beware that some cases have easy-fit latches on the sides of the 5.25inch bays and this will not be compatible with such latches, so you'll have to pull those off first, which in my case left only one set of holes on each side to attach this item (couldn't attach the rear two holes with screws) but with just the front two it was still quite firmly enough attached).I am pleased with the device, it seems sturdy and well made and is fast without the issues of high resource usage or slow disconnects you get with the Usb variants. Great that it has a power button too.The only negative: in the description you see the word "hot swap" - note that this is NOT hot swap in the true sense of the word. While you can remove one HDD from it while the PC is still in Windows, when you plug in the 2nd HDD you can't access it until you have done a reboot of the PC. Also if you boot up the PC with no HDD in the slot, on my setup I found that I can't then plug in an HDD after I've booted into it windows as it simply won't find it until rebooting with the drive inserted upon startup. This really sux!I use the latest top of the range PC with Windows 10 v1809. All drivers fully updates.

Didn't detect drives very well.
Had intermittent issues detecting drives. Modified it by removing circuitry and attaching a direct sata adapter to the motherboard which works 100% now (as long as your bios supports hot-swapping!).
