First, if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it.

Anyways, I want to put a hot swap bay in my 3.5" floppy bay on my Dell Studio XPS 8100. The problem is, while there are lots of options for 5.25" bays, I can't find any for the 3.5" bay. Can someone help me find one? I would prefer something that can support a 3.5" drive, although that would be hard to fit. I don't need USB ports or anything. My budget is under 50 USD, but you can link more expensive options anyways. Thanks!

The thing is, that form factor can only fit 2 2.5 inch drives at most afaik.

I checked reviews on Amazon, apparently it only ejects 9mm drives. Is that a problem?

Well, by that it means 2.5 inch drives, which should be fine.
