Looking for 5.25" SATA HHD caddy that's not too expensive
I have Icy-Box HHD caddys in my older machines which I like quite a lot, but after looking around for new caddys, they all seem to be very expensive compared to what I paid some years back. I don't suppose anyone has come across anything half decent that is around the £20 mark (or even a bit less if possible)?

I use the Icy Box IB-158SK-B in my HP Microservers, a steal at just £13.40 delivered.

Did you mean 5.25". Usually they are for DVD drives and the like. I found the following 2.5 and 3.5 " enclosures...
MEMTEQ(R) 2.5 inch Hard Drive Enclosure SATA USB3.0 HDD External Enclosure Case 118*73*10mm Compatible Windows 2000 / Windows Me / Windows 98 / XP / Vista / 7 / 8 and Mac OS 9.1 / 10.8.4 above (Blue) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TGU0N..._jrcvwbQZFXRSV
Cheapest I could find, but there are others.
This for 3.5"

I had been looking for the type with trays, but that model would do the trick I think. It doesn't say, but I assume it takes a 5.25" drive bay? Unfortunately only one left in stock, and I'm looking for two, but it gives me some ideas what to look for, so thanks for that.

Yeah, I'm looking for the type that is installed in a 5.25" drive bay, like the one SUMMONER linked to, but thanks for taking the time to post a reply/suggestion.

The trayless design is why I ended up buying these, very convenient to use. Yes, these are to install into a 5.25" drive bay.

Thanks. That's perfect. I'll order a couple tonight. Already setup for free postage from Scan.... it was one of the reasons I registered on here :)
