Decent setup for home labs 12/29/2012
This review is from: Icy Dock MB994SP-4S | 4 x 2.5 Inch SATA 6Gbps/SAS HDD/SSD Mobile Rack / Cage in 1 x 5.25 Inch bay | ToughArmor
Pros:
I have a pair of these cages connected to a HP P410 RAID card in a Corsair Vengeance C70 Case. So far it has been working very well. I am using the machine as a VMware lab server so the extra room for all the drives is a big plus. I am running SAS and SSD drives with no fitment issues so far. I read other reviews about issues with the fans and mine have been quite to this point.
Cons:
None, it's doing the job I got them for.
Overall Review:
For a custom/home build it is really good, I would say this is best drive cage setup out there for SAS & SATA. If you are a server guy and used to drive backplanes with the extra "intelligence" you wont get that here, but you are not paying server parts prices so you do get what you pay for.
