Pros: Very fast and solid. Runs cool. Unlike many other switches in this price range, this one can operate at full speed on all ports at the same time.

Cons: Would prefer the network ports to be on the back as opposed to the front.

Pros: Solid, high quality cable. Locks in place on the motherboard.

Cons: I bought six of these for an SSD array on a server motherboard. The large round neck on each connector end causes all sorts of issues. You cannot put them side by side if you have a bank of SATA connectors as the round necks push hard against each other. I inserted just two side by side into my motherboard and they deflected each other so much the latches would almost not release. I used a utility knife to cut down the round necks so they would actually fit next to each other on the motherboard. Then I found that the cables slip off of SSDs. The cables do not “click-in” and lock with SSDs. A SSD’s SATA connector is small and thus consists of only the Male SATA part, without the surrounding “D” socket as seen on the motherboard and 3.5” drives. These cables depend on the socket to latch. Without a socket to latch into, these cables slip off the drives SO easily. Three drives disappear after moved the case because the connectors had slid off the SSDs. I have six unusable cab

Overall Review: Motherboard ASUS KGPE-D16 Drives Patriot Wildfire 120GB

Pros: Fits dual processor EEB server motherboards in a case that is 4" longer and no taller than a typical mini - tower. There are 6 available 3.5" bays: 4 in the included drive cage, and one more vertically below the drive cage using the included rails. There is one 5.25" to 3.5" converted included in the top external 5.25 bay. After that, you still have two external 5.25" bays free.

Cons: Tight around the power supply with all the cabling for dual processors, drive, etc.

Overall Review: A great option for this case is to add some casters to the bottom. Servers can get quite heavy filled with all the drives and components. Good casters are ArtBin Super Satchel Cube Casters, Set of 4-Black, 6856SW, about $8 on amzn. Install the casters before you build as you will need to drill holes into the bottom of the steel case to attach them.

Pros: Worked perfectly in a HP Z200

Cons: None

Pros: Endurance, Endurance, Endurance. The 240GB drive has a 1000 TB (1 Petabyte) endurance rating. Meaning 240 GB of writes per day for 10 years! Capacitors to prevent data loss during a power failure. Great Read Performance (550MB/sec). Low power idle (<1w).

Cons: Write performance is good, not great (300 MB/s), and IOPS is lower (10,000/sec) as compared to other drives. However, something has to give to achieve its amazing endurance.

Overall Review: Two of these in a Storage Spaces simple array produce 700 MB/SEC read and write.

Pros: All machined aluminum construction, dual fans, very nice looking. Full speed 6 GB/sec transfer rates perfect for RAID SSDs.

Cons: Fans are quiet but not silent. Sliding the drive trays back into the unit can sometimes be tricky. It is easy to accidentally miss engaging the rails on one side. The key is to not "force" a drive in if it puts up resistance as it is likely not on both rails.

Overall Review: These are great cages. I have four of them for a large scale SSD raid.
