Cooler Master STB-3T4-E3-GP Review by D. Goree "tech geek" (Wahiawa, HI)
This is a great addition to any standard computer case but looks especially good in a Cooler Master case. I already had a Black Cooler Master Centurion 534 and this hdd cooler really fits in nicely. Hard drives must be screwed into the module and then that gets mounted to the case. The case is isolated from the module by cushioned feet that separate the drives from the case. The blue lights in the front of the module are a lot more pronounced than the lights already in the front of the case. However it all fits together very nicely. I can't say that I took very scientific measurements of the tempatures before and after but the BIOS tempature readings dropped about 10 degrees celcius after instalation which I find quite impressive. All in all it is very well designed and easy to install. The fan also has a dust filter on the front of it. The fan has a standard chassis fan three wire plug and a four wire standard molex converter is included.
Cooler Master STB-3T4-E3-GP Review by Farley X Wilbur (Colorado)
Overall this drive enclosure is a good product and worth the money. As some have said, the fan is a bit slow, but relatively quiet as a result. The design is straightforward, metal edges are deburred and the fit is clean. For functionality, this gets five stars. The one real problem is the way the front is attached. Rather than the plastic snapping off with a couple of retainer clips, the front is screwed on by four tiny screws accessible only from the back, i.e. you must remove the entire unit to clean the filter, change the fan, add a real fan filter or whatever. If you are concerned with keeping dust out or easily cleaning the filter, don't buy the unit. Awkward maintenance loses a star for this product.
Cooler Master STB-3T4-E3-GP Review by M. J. MCFALL "Yay interwebs" (Redondo Beach, CA USA)
This is fantastic for increasing hard drive storage capacity in a case. 4 additional hard drives in exchange for 3 slot bays and at the price Amazon has these listed is a steal! Very well constructed.
I purchased this because it does not look too flashy and would complement my nondescript file server case. I didn't want the LED fan, so I took it out and replaced it with a quiet Scythe Kama flow. This was a bit of an arduous undertaking as there were a few hard to reach screws. Not mechanically difficult, just a bit of work. About 10 minutes. There is a picture in the product images for this that shows the revealed fan and front cover to the side-- don't be misled by this! The fans screw in from behind! You have to have the whole enclosure removed if you want to remove the fans!
The brushed aluminum plate on the front with the Cooler Master laser etched logo may look cool for some, but I don't like labels all over my computers. It was very easy to remove as it was affixed by glue and was a simple task the spray it a nice matte black. After the work was done, I could enjoy keeping my file server as a black monolith, with a copious amount of hard drives. It would also be a very simple matter to lightly wet sand away the laser etched logo so that one could have an aluminum accent.
It could be improved by allowing front loading of hard drives/hot swapping, but this isn't purpose built for RAID setups, rather it is simply intended for increasing capacity. Great if you have a motherboard with many SATA 3.0 ports.
While my review notes some personal nuisances, overall this product 5 stars for its price:functionality. You'd be hard pressed to find a similar product at a similar price point, all while including a fan.
