The array takes up x3 5.25in bays. now to the unit itself, while its not made to HP standards of blade array quality, I am extremely impressed with this, i am now able to swap drives in and out of my PC at my pleasure, while it took about 2 weeks to arrive, [coming from over the Atlantic, to Scotland] it has been worth the wait, 5 good quality SATA cable included and a screw pack for the fitting of the unit and all the drives too. yes it takes desktop and laptop size drives. best 100 quid ive spent for a long time. you wont be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Internal 5-in-3 Enclosure and Good Value. *by on Reviewed in the United States 7 April 2024* I bought two of the RackChoice Internal Hard Drive Enclosures on sale for use in a CoolerMaster tower with 6 exposed 5.25 bays. I run an UnRaid server with 10 HDD/SSDs and this is a perfect solution. As other reviewers have noted I had to make minor modifications to the internal bays of the CoolerMaster tower, bending some tabs out of the way to fit the 5-in-3 enclosures but otherwise it was a simple plug-and-play. No instructions needed. The enclosures have 2 Molex power connectors for redundancy, assuming you have two separate independent power rails and you choose to use them in a redundant fashion. Otherwise a single power connection from the PSU to the enclosure works fine. I am powering 5 HDD on a single power rail without issue using a 750W PSU.The HDD sleds require no screws to mount a 3.5 HDD, they just snap-in-place. For 2.5 SSDs screws are required and supplied with enclosure along with 5 SATA cables, but I chose to use my own cables. The sleds latch into place with minimal effort and hold the drives securely in the enclosure. The power and activity lights on each sled work as expected, so you can see at glance what bays have drives installed and when they are active.I did replace the fans in the enclosures with Noctua NF-A8 FLX 80mm fans as mentioned in another review. I have used Noctua fans in other builds and they are excellent and silent fans. It’s not that the stock fans are bad or excessively loud, but for my application and server location I wanted something a bit quieter and lower pitched. I think a lot may depend on your case size/design and the other fans installed in the case as to whether noise is an issue for you. The stock fans run at 2500rpm and in their favor they do keep the 5-in-3 enclosures a few degrees cooler then the Noctua NF-A8 that have set to run 1650rpm which is the middle speed. Even so my drive temperatures range from 29C to 34C under normal use after replacing the stock fans vs. 27C to 33C with the stock fans.Bottomline is that RackChoice Internal Hard Drive Enclosures are a good value and work well if you are looking to clean up you case and have easy access to your drives for replacement. Just to put a final point this: These enclosures are for internal use only. They have no internal controllers and are not a standalone NAS. Read the description carefully before purchasing. ## Frequently Bought Together - RackChoice Internal Hard Drive Enclosure 5x2.5”/3.5” SATA/SAS Hard Drive Backplane 6 Gbps HDD hotswap in 3xExternal 5.25" Bay Compatible with All Rack Types - 4U Rackmount Server Chassis with 6 x 5.25 Front Bays + 1 x 3.5 + 4 x 2.5 Bays - ADCAUDX SATA-III Cable-1M 6Pcs/Set-6Gbps-SATA Cable Long Replacement for Bitcoin Computer-Server CD DVD Drives Raid HDD-SSD (3.3FT) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/519900325-internal-hard-drive-enclosure-5x2-5-3-5-sata-sas](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/519900325-internal-hard-drive-enclosure-5x2-5-3-5-sata-sas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
