Removable Drive Drawers (Mobile Racks)
Removable drive drawers (mobile racks) are intended to give simple access and portability to computer hard drives. There is a plethora of descriptive names associated with this product which often leads to confusion. Consider this short list of terms that are all used to describe a drive drawer:

Drive drawers (mobile racks) generally come in two pieces. One (the bay) is mounted in a standard 5.25 inch bay opening in the front of the computer. The other (the caddy) contains the hard drive.
The movable caddy moves in or out of the bay on slides. When the caddy is seated in the bay and locked in place the connection between the hard drive and the computer IDE or SCSI port is completed and the hard drive operates normally.
The "caddy" is also called a tray, a case, a rack, a mobile drive, removable disk, etc.
The "bay" is variously called a frame, a dock, a slide etc.
The most commonly used descriptions for the entire assembly are "drive drawers" and "mobile racks".
The part fastened into the 5.25" bay is most generally called a "bay", and the portable part is most commonly called a "caddy." These are the naming conventions we try to follow on our site.
All of our drive drawers support hot-swapping as long as the rest of
the hard drive sub-system is compatible with hot-swapping. i.e. The hard
drive controller, or RAID controller, and the Operating System.
