Just saw this topic and it interested me so I'm jumping in. ;-)
Coincidentally, I just bought a MODE by TerraOnion for my Dreamcast about a month ago. I also bought the 3D printed "cover" from Laser Bear Industries to make it look more "Stock" and to add the SD extender port. It was a super easy install. Literally plug and play with no soldering involved. I just popped out the CD drive, put it to the side for safekeeping, then popped the MODE into the CD port. I installed the 3D printed cover to keep everything in place. And put the cover back on.
I bought it mainly so I could play the Atomiswave ports of Dolphin Blue and Metal Slug 6. Those Atomiswave ports don't fit on a Standard CD. (Metal Slug 6 has a version that does fit but it doesn't work right after the first level).
I only play a handful of other Dreamcast games, which I own the originals of. So having them on an SD card instead is a bonus. I didn't feel the need to install an SSD since I didn't have many games; it works fine off of the SD card.
Haven't tried it in a PS1 or Saturn since I don't own one of those. But I doubt I'd remove it from my Dreamcast anyway.

Edit: I will post pics of it when I get home for those interested to see it.

I avoid all terror-onion products ever since the first rev of the SSDS3 I bought. It was released with such jank audio and video quality that it took a couple hobbyist engineers to build add-on boards to bypass their failed circuits. Worst part about it was TO’s reaction to all the complaints. Claiming there was nothing wrong, they tested it on their setups and the “Quality is immeasurable” (actual quote) even after presented with oscilloscope readings.
They then made an update to rev 2 with the fixes but didn’t refund or replace any of the first rev costumers. The denial and arrogance of the owner of TO and their shills were what put me off from anything they create.
Which is fine. The x-station is killing the mode. The Fenrir is killing the mode. The gdemu’s and their clones are killing the mode.
There are lots of options out there that are cheaper and more reliable than their products. They can go eff themselves.

Lol. Good to know.!Too bad I didn't hear about that sooner though. I would have probably passed.
That said, I've already purchased it and it works fine so far...

I have a Neo SD which so far has been good for me.
But I have seen much negativity both from TO and aimed at them in recent times so I understand why ppl wont buy from them.
The Xstation is awesome btw....

I get the "your order is arriving soon" message from allie express yesterday.
which is weird cause stuff takes longer normally just to ship.
i check, it's in Jamaica.
NY!
I should have the GDEMU by the weekend.
On a side note i have someone with a 25" Toshiba CRT with S-video and component in who wants it gone.
guess nobody on facebook owns a hand truck because she's been trying to get rid of it for a few weeks.
every single "it's in the garage come get it" CRT TV is gone by the time i see the posting on marketplace.
