Solid
- Pros: Great way to add 3 hot swappable sata drives in your unused optical drive bays! The independent power switches for the drives are a great way to save power when you're not using them and keep them cool. The HDD trays are great, easy to pop in and out, a bit tricky to lock in place without accidentally ejecting them again (you don't really have to lock them for them to stay though, so it doesn't really matter)
- Cons: Fan is really loud, by default the jumpers are set to high speed. I guess these sata backplanes are meant for servers much more than htpcs :/ meh you can just turn off the drives to shut the fan down when you want it to be quiet.
- Other Thoughts: I got this to go in my htpc case, a Thermaltake Bach and it's a bit of a tight fit with the fan sticking out behind the drives and my 1000w antec power supply not even an inch away.
Loud but does what it's suppose to
- Pros: Installed easily and was recognized by OS (MS Home Server) Running for months and no problem. Price is very reasonable for what i wanted it for.
- Cons: LOUD as Hell
- Other Thoughts: People are complaining that it doesnt work at SATA II speeds (3.0) if you read the Item >> SATA is what it says (1.5) not SATA II (3.0) again you get what you pay for. I would buy this again and recommend it to others.
Great Back Plane
- Pros: Quick easy installation, worked great right off the bat
- Cons: No documentation as to what controller chip is used (would be useful should compatibility issues arise)
- Other Thoughts: Got a blue screen of death last night after installing this and an adaptec raid card, though I think it is an issue with the card. Will update this review when I resolve the problem.
