5.25in Bay HDD Dock... Where do I buy these?

[iamdarkyoshi]

We've got these handy little things at work for quickly adding or removing a hard drive from a PC. They just fit into a standard 5.25in optical drive bay. However, I need more, and can't find the magic words that find them on the internet. They look like this:

 

They're an incredibly simple device, just a sata passthrough on the end of a plastic box with a plastic divider door for 3.5in or 2.5in HDDs. Yet I can't seem to find them anywhere!

 

I don't want a server style hot swap bay with a caddy, I just want to be able to throw a laptop or desktop drive in and roll with it. Any ideas where I can buy one of these cheaply?

Perhaps any of these will fit your use case?

Those all have a front latch on them for locking the drive in place, as well as support for only one size of drive. I'm looking for one I can just shove any size drive into.

 

Here's all these have in them:

Theoretically, you might be able to just remove that latch and freely slide the drive in/out.

Maybe open the system up and remove one of these bays to find a model number for Googling?
