guys will the Rosewill Rack case fit these bays?

that would be the best of both worlds, cheap and hot-swappable. Will probably have to find some used ones on eBay.

Why not get a SAS/Sata Hotswap bay? I have a Rosewill 4 bay hostwap that does both SAS and SATA.

All the sata ports are white on this mobo. I have two bays on my hard drive enclosure (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DGZ42SM/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I've switch the working and none working drives positions and it didn't correct the issue.

I think I'll try bipassing that hard drive enclosure and connect directly to the mobo.

Thanks

I would think this is a much better choice:

Thanks for your response...

I have the drives connected into this Rosewill hard drive cage (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DGZ42SM/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) directly to my mobo (Asus M5A97 LE 2.0) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B008RPZ5SC/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_bSPHCb13Y6H8A. I believe this cage is just passing connections via sata cable to my mobo as there is a one-to-one sata connections to hard drives.

I've tried a reboot and the 2nd drive didn't appear. The one drive that did connect did show up on the GUI after a few minutes. Also, I can switch from one cage spot to another and the working disk will come right back.

I have a hard drive dock that can clone a hard drive, I may try that tomorrow.
