You are correct, I did not realize I posted one that goes into an expansion slot . That is pretty inconvenient.
Here you go:

That is bit more useful. Still prefer the full caddy like I posted earlier. Can slide disks in and out easily and power on and off as required. So if you only have a couple of caddies you can still access any number of disks. Now I have been using these things a while, I wouldnt want to be without them. Easily access any disk as and when needed , without having to scramble about inside the case, and they are only powered on when wanted.
@SIW2: I have 3 dual drive docks in my office, of which I'm currently using 2. I have a whole stack of drives I can work through as and when I need them, sized from 500GB (SSD-based) to 8 TB (definitely HDD based: I couldn't afford an SSD that big). One is a WavLink, the other two are Inateks. You have to watch their maximum power/capacity ratings to make sure the drives you want to plug in will work properly.

In addition to making a system image first I suggest backing up hardware drivers

This tutorial also applies to Windows 11.
