Coolermaster STB-3T4-E3 3X5.25IN to 4X3.5IN Drive Bay Convertor Silver Black W/ 120MM Fan
Cons:Stock fan is blue LED - may not appeal to some
Pros:Standard sizing - compatible with most casesAll-in-one solution including mounting hardware and near-silent cooling Comment:
This is an excellent all-in-one drive bay converter that comes with all the hardware needed for mounting and a blue LED fan to keep the drives cool. I am using this alongside the drive bay converter that came with my Cosmos S to run my file server, which uses 6 drives in RAID5 plus an OS drive. Fan does a good job of keeping the drives cool, even after hours of constant activity during backups. Fan is also reasonably quiet. Build quality is excellent - it can withstand some pretty rough handling, if that's what you're into. Others have had issues installing in slotted drive bays, but the Cosmos S is slotted and I had no such installation problems at all, given that the converter is designed to slide along bay slots. Aesthetically, it fits perfectly with the Cosmos S and looks very much a part of the case and not an after thought. Given the blue LED fan, however, it may not appeal to some. In which case, the fan is easily swapped out for another 120x25 fan of your choosing.Solid product - happy to recommend and would certainly purchase again should the need arise.

Cons:- you might not like the fan- changing the fan is hard
Pros:- nice design- easier to install than an iCage- comes with a fan- came with screws :D Comment:
Bought this to put more hard drives in my case. Issue is the change the fan, it doesn't seem you can easier remove it and put it back. As the fan is held by plastic nubs but the nubs are so far in and hard to reach, you can't just push them out. |

Cons:airflow is not enough for me
Pros:nice designeasy to installfan runs quiet Comment:
I bought this to replace 3 blank drivebay in my LIANLI case.it dose the job quite well with low noisy led fan.I will change a better fan and make it intake tons of air to cool my hard dive and CPU.All in all, its a kick ass replacement. |

Cons:Hard to fit in some cases - especially those with slotted bays with drive rails.The blue LED can be annoying unless your case has a door.
Pros:Inexpensive compared to others.Fan not as loud as expected.Better built than expected. Comment:
This was better built than I expected. The fan wasn't as loud as I expected either. Appears to cool well with all 4 drives in place. |
Added this in not to get the extra hard drives, but to get the extra airflow for my CPU. Unfortunately, the fan equipped in this thing is incredibly weak, so I'm going to have to get a new case fan for it. Overall though, it does look good in my 690, and it does add four new hard drive slots. Just wish the case fan was good as well.
