Recommend a drive bay adaptor

[smurkin]

Can anyone recommend a drive bay adaptor?

I have a dell with no spare drive space in the case. I wanted to pull out one of the two optical writers and fit one of my new Tb drives into the space.

Even better, if anyone can suggest one where the drive can be slotted/plugged in from the front as the Dell has these flaps to cover the DVD bays - this would mean I could swap drives in and out without opening the case...

thanks

I have not tried this exact one but the IcyDock drive bay i have tried was decent enough maybe not the best made gear in the world but not a bad price.

why not have an external hard drive linked up with a USB 2.0 connection?

tbh, that icy dock looks perfect..thank you!

Not too keen on an external - tbh - I already have one for backups which I dont like due to the external psu - its for my media pc and I really want everything to fit in the case

I have one of those EasyDocks in mine, older generation one though. Even so, works wonders
