Review: Pleasantly surprised! - I purchased two of these bays for a Mac Pro case mod - I wanted something that didn't take up too much space, but would provide hookups for 2 x 2.5" drives, and this fit the bill. QUALITY/DESIGN This really is surprisingly well-made for the price, with a mostly-metal construction. The tray-less design is simple yet effective, and the eject mechanism is among the best I have seen - you simply unlock the front tab and pull out! The bay comes with two 3M stickers to help avoid electrical shorts through the metal cage - a nice thought, although not so convenient for those of us that switch drives often. I think a thin plastic coating on the cage would have been better! The dual-color LEDs are not too bright, showing blue for power and a pinkish-red for drive activity. The bay boasts a 50,000 drive insertion rate - hopefully I will NEVER get close to this figure, but it's nice to know it was built to last. Included are two power adapters that go give power to your SATA drives and have a 4-pin connector to power the bay. They are standard molex connectors, not SATA, so keep this in mind when choosing the bay. The key lock feature is nice, but something that I won't use. FUNCTIONALITY Not much to say here - I plugged in the power and SATA cables and each drive was recognized without issue. As far as I understand, these support SATA3 speeds (seeing as they are simply providing an extended connection), and my boot drive (Mushkin SSD) is running at around 250MB/s which is just about right for that drive. OVERALL I chose this bay because it was cheaper than others, but I'm actually very pleased with the overal quality and design. I have added a customer image of one of these bays "in action", so you can see how unimposing these bays are. A great way to add 2 x 2.5" drives to your rig, and highly recommended! Now to swap out the LEDs without ruining the thing...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this support 3.5" sas drives?  please don't answer unless you know the difference between sas and sata.**
A: Though the Amazon Title says it supports SAS drives, if you go to the Kingwin website for the KF-255-BK, it says nothing about SAS, nor does the owner's manual pdf that I downloaded. I'd say it does not support the SAS connector configuration.

http://www.kingwin.com/kf-255-bk-2/

**Q: Can 2.5" SSD be used with this mount?**
A: Alone, No. Yes - With the addition of this Device: ICY DOCK EZConvert PRO MB982SP-1S Enterprise 2.5" to 3.5" SATA SSD & HDD Converter / Mounting Kit. This is what we use. Hope this helps!

**Q: 2 HD sata cables. 2 power sata cables??? or just one?**
A: 2 SATA cable. 1 SATA power cable. Be aware that the triangular key entry on the locking mechanism for the the 3-1/2" drive door is made of extremely soft pot metal and after a number of locking and unlocking cycles while changing drives in and out has deformed to the point where it's unusable even though I used extreme care once I discovered this problem it just continued to get worse, so now I have to leave it unlocked. The same key entry on the 2-1/2" drive door is made of stainless steel and does not suffer from the same weakness.This is a pretty serious defect in an otherwise very good product, and if there was something like this made by a competitor that didn't suffer from this weakness, I would try that by so far I haven't been able to find anything like it. I hope KingWin will correct this deficiency in future models.

**Q: Will this kf-259-bk back plane fit a sas  u.2 (sff-8639)  connector?**
A: Hi, Conscientious shopper, thank you for your question, KF-259-BK does not fit a sas u.2 sff-8639 connector, tks.

Excellente Qualité, solide, facile a installer, tout à fait ce que je recherchait.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Muy buen producto recomendado
*by C***R on 2 August 2021*

Funciona a la perfección, es de metal muy resistente, la única mejora desde mi punto de vista que sugeriría es que ya no utilicen los conectores antiguos para los led, por lo demás cumplió todas las expectativas.
