Dual ODD SlimDrive 6.25" Drive Bay + Help

[Toddribault]

Hey guys,

 

I know a couple of people have been looking for a drive bay that holds dual ODD slimline bays. I have been looking a while for one. The Plextor Model PX-DB608AL appears to no longer be available anywhere, but I did find this:

I wanted this bay device because I am building my first computer, but do not have as many drive bays as I would like, so I'm trying to maximize space. What do you guys think is the best way to add additional SATA 3 ports to a computer? I thinking of just adding an additional PCIe controller card, but is this the best way to go?

Just use a USB optical drive. If you want more drives if use a lsi hba like a Dell h200. Most of the cheap sata ones suck.

Thanks! Just what I wanted. I have some slim ODD bays that I want to put into a sleeper desktop machine I am building.
