    I prefer the ones that fit in the external front 3.5 bays, so you have switches on the front. There seems to be fashion among cases atm for not having those bays, they seem to have cheap brothel lighting instead. So anybody unfortunate enough to have one of those strange cases could use the switches on the back you linked to.
    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.
    HTH,

    Thread title says it all. In the future when I replace one of my Win10 laptops, new laptops will come with 11. So will I be able to put 10 on the new laptop?
    In addition to making a system image first I suggest backing up hardware drivers

    This tutorial also applies to Windows 11.

    If you were to forget, you could still get the drivers out of the Macrium Reflect mounted backup image
