Excellent product for the price

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: Simple to setup and use. All parts included (don't lose the flat drive screws!) Good individual control and LEDs for each drive and status. Keeps drives cool (35-38C) - better than I expected. Acceptable noise level (can't distinguish over case fans on dedicated disk server. Build quality and construction good for the price - but don't expect this to handle enterprise needs where you swap drives alot.

Cons: Directions are pathetic but not really needed. Individual on/off pin switches hard to locate but put some small dots of nail polish to make them easier to see/find. LEDs for drives are not "aligned" with the corresponding drive (on the edge of the enclosure) but marking the switches better made it easier to make sure to turn on/off correct one.

Other Thoughts: Put two of these into a tower case for my Bluray ripped collection (read: eats disk space mucho fast) and connected to WHS via Port Multipliers from Addonics. Will be adding another for 15 drives and 15TB+ of storage.

Pros: holds a bunch of disks.
relatively cheap.

Cons: fans are loud.
disks rattle unless you jam little pieces of paper between them.
after 2.5 years, the power buttons for the disks no longer stay on powered on. so now I have to jimmy-rig some kind of bent paperclip shim chinga dilly to keep the power buttons depressed at all times. or maybe just solder them on or something.
