I purchased this cage in December of 2014. It's been installed and working good since then. I haven't had any real issues with it. I have had an issue a few times where it doesn't seem to recognize the drive when the drive is "hot-inserted," but it's always turned out to be a drive or motherboard issue. These cages are, for the most part, fault-proof. It's more or less a passthrough, providing a seat for your drive, and a SATA port to connect to your motherboard. I like the key lock feature, though it won't deter anyone who really wants your drive; it's a tamper feature. Also has an on-off switch for the activity light. I like the option, and it works. I really like how cool it keeps my drives when in use. I have a Corsair 750D case, with vents up on top of the case -- and that has something to do with it, I'm sure; but even then, if I placed the same drive in one of the 750Ds cages without a fan blowing air on the drive, the same drive would reach an extra 10-15c. It's the snug fit, the aluminum used on the sides, and the open top and bottom space that does the trick; though, place something directly on top of this cage, and I wouldn't count on the same cooling effect. For those wondering, it's made with real aluminum, and not plastic with an aluminum-looking film.

Rails came carefully packaged and on time. They are solid. They fit my Supermicro chassis perfectly and also my Tripp Lite rack.

does the job - keeps the controller's cache alive when the main power/UPS dies so you can enable more aggressive caching schemes without having to worry about data loss.

I am using this in a RAID 5 array with hardware RAID it works really well for this purpose it is hot swap-able.
