internal 2.5" dock?

[exdeath]

Surprised this isn't easily found.

Would like a 2.5" hot swap dock that fits internally in a 3.5" bay. Something that doesn't require a tray or enclosure, but just lets you have a 2.5" door that you can jam a SSD into like a cartridge in the front of your case.

Anyone know of anything like this? I see lots of external bulky plastic base station style docks that hang off a USB port but nothing internal.

I will not touch anything mechanical now, and just want a "cartridge port" on my PC to use external SSDs as you would a floppy or thumb drive. No trays, caddies, etc.

Do you mean something like this or fully internal...?

Yeah, that is pretty cool.

I do need to find a internal usb 3 card that has the usb port so we dont need to run that cable outside the case and back into a rear usb port

Thermaltake makes a dual 2.5" dock that fits in a 3.5" bay: http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1257&ID=1826

You can get a 19-pin internal to USB3 female adaptor for that. If you need an internal 19-pin USB3, look no further then here...

Perfect! Though I'd prefer SATA connection, but this will do otherwise! Thanks.

This uses a sata connection. I have a couple of them and they work fine for me.

I know you didn't ask for a 5.25" but I have this Thermaltake. The bees knees is the fact that it holds a 3.5 and a 2.5 HDD/SSD simultaneously, yet only requires a single SATA power connector. While the usb 3.0 is just icing.

This is what I use. The best built quality ever. Highly recommended.
