Optical Drive Bay 6*2.5 HDD Cage

This is a hard drive cage suitable for desktop standard 5.25-inch optical drive bays. The hard drive cage supports 6 2.5-inch hard drives (maximum single drive thickness 9.5mm). The caddy is designed as a quick-release caddy, which can work with the motherboard's hot-swap function to achieve quick hard drive replacement. It is equipped with two 4025-sized PWM fans with a maximum speed of 15000 RPM, which can operate at lower speeds (low noise) or increase speed when needed for optimal heat dissipation. Using a 1.5mm soft optical fiber to guide light, the status indicator lights on the backplane can be projected onto the buttons for easy observation of hard drive status.
