Hello everyone,
Has anyone used a device like this to cram 3-4 more 3.5" drives into a pair of adjacent 5.25" bays? I currently have an Icy dock 2.5" + 3.5" to 5.25" bay in my spare NAS which can only house two 3.5" drives on its own, without direct cooling on the drives so they run around 37-39c.

Additionally, I've always run FreeNAS on tower PC's i cobbled together, so if it's not worth it to spend this much on drive mounts and that money is better spent on a different chassis, i'm all ears.
