can mount up to two 2.5" SSDs and has a 60mm fan.
?? why would you need this for SSD's ?? no moving parts and very little heat build up...
^ I wouldn't bother with the fan but typical cases have no 2.5" drive racks to mount an SSD. You could use duct tape or velcro or whatever instead if you prefer...
An SSD doing constant reads/writes can use almost as much power as a spinning-rust laptop hard drive. It's just unlikely that any workload could keep an SSD busy for very long, because they're so fast.
So, it's conceivable that this could be useful, say, if someone was using an SSD for L2ARC and ZIL on a busy array, but presumably they'd be doing so in a purpose-built server case with plenty of airflow over the drives already. You never know, though.
Installed one about four months ago...works great...hooked up the fan as well, and as #1 says probably don't need it...but it's so cool to have it I couldn't resist. Can't beat this for five bucks.
Use the fan for a HDD or toss the fan and use it for two SSDs.
What I wrote about not needing the fan was within the context of having it in a 3.5" bay where there is a case front air intake right in front of it so there's airflow from that. I'd never use a case that didn't have a front air intake for the HDD rack.
