That said, opinions are mixed on quality, heat, fan, and fit.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the performance of the system cabinet. For example, they say it works well, works flawlessly to hook up hard drives, and is very useful. They also mention that the LEDs work properly, and the unit itself seems fine. Some say that they have had no technical troubles to speak of, and have seen no degradation in drive performance.
"...The problem I have with this unit since they both work great, is that even though the King Win doors lock, they are plastic, and should be metal...." Read more
"...I had no technical troubles to speak of, which is decidedly a win...." Read more
"...Looks great, functions perfect. I have 2 now. Excellent product and one of the best add-on devices I have bought...." Read more
"...Bonus: SATA is way faster than USB; not that everyone cares where backup runs in the middle of the night. But, hey, I'll take it...." Read more
Customers find the installation process of the system cabinet to be easy. They mention that it is simple and easy to install and use, and that it can be installed and uninstalled easily. Some customers also mention that the 4-in-3 fits perfectly into the rails and plugs in perfectly to the SATA connector.
"...Installation was easy. 15 minutes, and that also included the installation of the PCI card to run it with...." Read more
"...I had no problems with fitting the 4-in-3 into my case, it slid right into the rails...." Read more
"...It is just what I needed. Looks great, easy install and seems to be built very well. But most important, it works like a charm...." Read more
"...This method doesn't require any special tools. You just need a Dremel to cut plastic." Read more
Customers generally like the value of the system cabinet. They mention that it has a solid hot-swap bay at a good price point, and that it's inexpensive to fix.
"...similar products, and decided to give this a shot given its low price for quality. I was not mistaken; this thing is perfect for what I need...." Read more
"...Overall, this is a good buy for the price and is rare among some 4-bay hot swap units in having an easily swapped 80mm fan...." Read more
"...And the price is fantastic considering the quality. I love this unit and am headed back to order several more for my other computers...." Read more
"...It's not worth $40. I paid about $20 for my StarTech single drive enclosure, which is pretty much the same build quality...." Read more
Customers like the ease of use of the system cabinet. They mention that it makes it easy to swap drives without moving the server, opening it, and that SATA drives slide in and out easily. The fans are easily changed out, and it makes changing operating systems easy. The rack allows customers the ability to migrate fairly painlessly, and is handy for easy transfers of data off hdd from computers that have died.
"...Nice surprises include fans that are easily changed out. The individual LED's are bright and change color when active...." Read more
"...Even though it is behind the front panel it is really easy to pop of the front and put in a new HD SATA drive...." Read more
"...Its clean and easy to switch out the fan if need be in the future. Most importantly, the fan is dead silent now...." Read more
"...Gets the job done.2) Easy to dismantle and put together...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the quality of the system cabinet. Some mention that it is well made for the price, while others say that it feels flimsy and cheaply made. The brackets are also of unknown quality, and the fans are of unknown performance. Overall, the quality is a mixed bag, with some customers giving it a 4 out of 5 stars.
"...because the Kingwin Unit is much better looking in the case, and the doors lock...." Read more
"...As far as misses, there are several. The fans are of unknown quality and swapping them out revealed two more problem...." Read more
"...It is just what I needed. Looks great, easy install and seems to be built very well. But most important, it works like a charm...." Read more
"...Turning to the innards, all the metal parts are equally as cheap. Everything is THIN sheet metal...." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the fit of the system cabinet. Some mention that it fits perfectly in a 4u case, while others say that it would not fit in their new Lenovo M93p tower. The case for mounting is not properly sized vertically, and the bay fits very loosely in the server 5.25" bay. The screw holes are too short for fans with a 25mm thickness, and it was a little fiddly putting them in their case.
"...The first disappointment was that it would not fit in my new Lenovo M93p tower...." Read more
"...This is a simple, but effective hotswap bay that fits both regular HDDs as well as smaller drives such as SSDs...." Read more
"...will not install with the included screws, which are too short for 25mm thickness fans...." Read more
"...It fit the slot well and has multiple power cable options which is nice. It came with 2 pads which seemed to large to go anywhere...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the heat of the system cabinet. Some mention that the drive doesn't get hot, the cooling capability is important, and it allows your drives to become hot-swappable. However, others say that there is no cooling for the drive, and that it wouldn't hot plug.
"...Probably most important, cooling capability...." Read more
"Works as described, but won’t hot swap. If I reboot, it finds any drive I put in it. Does it need a specific type of SATA port or something? 🤔..." Read more
"...The hot-swap works; I tried with a 1TB WD disk on 64-bit Win7...." Read more
"...The drives do get hot to the touch (a 7200rpm spinner got to 60C after a few minutes of continuous file transfers), so I had to keep the drive..." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the fan. Some say it's quiet and powerful enough, while others say it was too loud and makes a noticeable buzz. Some customers are frustrated by the fan issues, saying that the fan does not have a standard 3 or 4 pin header, which makes replacement difficult.
"...I'm frustrated by the fan issues, but I won't see it because my server isn't some RGB freak show in a glass case...." Read more
"...Most importantly, the fan is dead silent now. You will also need a crimper tool to do this project...." Read more
"...Summary there are two problems:* The fan it comes with is loud* The fan it comes with is not-standard and is of narrow depth*..." Read more
"...It has two fans for increased airflow, it has dual back power connectors which I assume remove and doubt about amperage to the drives...." Read more

UPDATE September 15th, 2014
I still use mine, and build all of my machines with one of these or the duel SSD Rack. You guys complaining about port spacing and broken doors, must be using gorilla arms. I have had no trouble, but I do agree, metal doors would be nicer. I have probably 25 to 30 out there in machines I built and no trouble or returns. My customers actually like the idea, because you can change a hard drive or SSD without tearing the computer down. Syba also makes one, and it has metal doors but no key lock. I like them both, but the Kingwin is my preference.

Unfortunately, it seems like the drive bay market doesn't have any "clear" winners these days. After a lengthy search, these Kingwin's appeared to be about as "premium" as one can get these days. I pulled the trigger on three of these Kingpin's to fully replace my finely aged Norco's. I planned to replace the fan immediately as I know these units always come with loud, obnoxious and typically poorly performing fans.
I read over the specs and I knew these units came with an odd sized 80x80x15mm fan. I thought, "How dumb would you have to be to not support the most common fan in the world, 80x80x25mm? Well, I'll kill the suspense. These are THAT dumb. You can make it work, but definitely not well. To get my Noctua NF-A8 FLX 3 PIN fans sufficiently secured, I could not install the drive bay's fan protector over the fan with the supplied screws. A longer screw by just 1mm would have done it. So, now my fans are just sitting out there, waiting to eat a SAS cable one of these days. The whole fan mount is odd, too, I can easily think of very minor design tweaks that would have greatly improved the fan installation. Had I known the fans would be exposed, I definitely would have selected one of Noctua's "prettier" fans.
But wait, it gets worse. The drive bay's fan connector of course doesn't use the industry standard 3-pin Dupont style connector like you'd see in every 3rd party case fan sold today. No, it uses the micro-style Dupont connector, the likes you would see on enterprise network or server hardware and ultra compact equipment. The 3-pin Dupont connector has been around in PC's since the 1980's, at least! Maybe there are adapters, who knows? Frankly, there's only so much I'm willing to put into a poor design choices to "make it right." I just brought the fan connectors back to my motherboard through some PWM fan splitters. It's a hack job, but it works I guess.
I just find it hard to believe such a disregard for common standards can still be a thing in 2022. I expected this kind of thing ten years ago, not these days. Even my decade plus old drive bays were built properly, so there's just no excuse.
Enough of the complaints. The drive bays are actually quite nice. They are made from metal and are attractive for the most part. I went from a tray design to trayless, which I was a bit hesitant about. Turns out, trayless is pretty sweet. I had no problems with fitting the 4-in-3 into my case, it slid right into the rails. I also liked that these new bays shaved off probably 2 inches of depth compared to my Norco bays, which gave my motherboard's rear facing SATA ports a bit more berth. If you don't like the rather bright LED's on the individual bays, a switch can be set to turn them off. I don't mind them (for now, subject to change) and I really like that they indicate drive usage - a missing feature on my Norco's.
I had no technical troubles to speak of, which is decidedly a win. (Though I did have to mod my case with a Dremel to fit three drive bays on my original build 11 years ago.) All 12 drive bays were immediately responsive, negotiating at 6gbps SATAIII. I run a mix of 16TB and 8TB Seagate hard drives at this time, though I'd be surprised to see a drive bay be incompatible with drive sizes. It's really more about cooling ability and the means of staying within drive specifications. Possibly a silver lining to the fan issues described above, the motherboard's PWM control of the fans does make for a slightly quieter operation most of the time.
Probably most important, cooling capability. One of the very first things I did was run a parity check, which rips all 12 drives at full speed for around 16 hours. It's a serious stress test and will push drive bays to their limit. My Norco cases would peak at 115F with ambient air in the mid-to-high 60's, hot but still within my drive specifications. The Kingwin's perform pretty much identically, probably on account of using the same fan. This offers me a bit of breathing room for higher ambient temperatures, since my drive's peak operating temperature is 149F. I'd be concerned if I ever saw indoor ambient air temperatures above 100F, though.
So, what's the final verdict? Assuming no troubles come my way, and I'll update if I do have them - I do recommend these Kingwin 4-in-3 drive bays. They're probably about as good as it'll get at this time. I'm frustrated by the fan issues, but I won't see it because my server isn't some RGB freak show in a glass case. If I were doing a higher end build, I'd probably spend the effort to find the right screws. I'd also terminate my own Dupont fan adapter, but I'm way too unmotivated to do it for a utilitarian server build. I'm hoping this will be a good storage foundation for another 10+ years.
