One of the things that I am accustomed to doing with my current machines
is moving disks between them for trouble shooting or maintenance. My current machines have disk caddys which make this easy. Since the SN25P has on one 5 1/4" bay, and that is typically used for a DVD drive, it is not feasible to put disk caddys on an SN25P. My question is how easy/difficult is it to add/remove a disk from an SN25P. Clearly it can't be as easy as using a caddy. But suppose I already have a working built system, approximately how long does it take to install or remove a disk.

Also, has anybody tried installing a removeable disk caddy in the 5 1/4" bay on an SN25P?
 
Swapping a hard drive is fast and completely tool-less. Can be done in about a minute. The rails that hold the hard disk snap into the screw holes of the HD and then you just set it in place in the case and snap the rail end connector. Hook up the power and SATA, ready to go. AFAIK there is not a quicker case out there for changing a drive.

That's applicable to the two top drive locations. If you have to remove the tray that holds the optical drive to get at the 3rd 3.5" bay below the optical, then it's a few more minutes. If you had a floppy drive in the SN25P this is the bay where it would go as it can be externally accessed.
