Sounds sensible, though I'd wait for someone else ( [*OX] ? ) to chime
in.

We can't get the 32x2.5" case from them, they're offering the 12x3.5"
case, but no, that's not what we want.

Wasn't there a case with a few 5.25" slots? and some 4*2.5" mounts into
a 5.25" drive bay adaptor? Like this?

ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB994SP-4S Full Metal 4 x 2.5" SAS/SATA 6Gb/s
SSD/HDD Hot Swap Mobile Rack Backplane Cage Module for 5.25" Bay (Fits
7, 9.5, 12.5, 15mm height drive)

Happy to do USA mail forwarding, if it helps.

There's $12 "Silverstone 3.5 to 2 x 2.5 Drive Bay Converter Black" - not
hotswap, just a metal bracket.

Nick.
