cooling fan for 2.5 inch HDDs

used to hold several 2.5 inch HDDs plugged into the back of my smart tv via a 7 port powered usb hub which also powers the fan

This was designed specifically to fit the 80mm "Thermaltake Mobile Fan II Adjustable Speed External USB Cooling Fan." The black & orange one. I also included generic 80mm fan versions.

the TOP holds four 2.5HDD Holders
