This new dock can support both 2.5-inch drives, 3.5-inch drives, a combination of both, and can even RAID drives together for data redundancy or performance.

I want to mod a front panel on my case where my extra 5.25" bays are to have cartridge style loading of sata drives like how this looks. Forget watercooling nonsense. I want better usability by utilizing that front area of the case and not having to open a side panel to swap drives around.
