Pros: I always wanted to built out this case, and it took me a few years to finally get to it, but I'm glad I did. Some complain about build quality, but I think it's high quality. Norco customer service seems very attentive as well when I needed to reach out about a backplane. Never even tried to use it with the stock fans--put in the new fanwall and Noctua's to keep the noise down.

Cons: Wish it went on sale more often. I also wish Norco provided a fanless option, since the first thing I did was replace every fan to reduce noise. Anyone want to buy some never-used Norco case fans?

Overall Review: I think the update happened a while ago, but the new backplanes only require one molex adapter per plane. There are also no more open/close vents on the drive trays. To account for this, I placed electric tape over the openings on my empty trays to aid with overall airflow (I want the air going over my drives, not just entering the case in general). I highly recommend not using a splitter but using the actual molex power from your PSU. Ensure the connection is firm to avoid any unnecessary issues.

Pros: Pretty sure this splitter is the culprit that ultimately fried 2 hard drives attached to a SAS backplane.

Cons: Wish I didn't buy it in the first place.

Overall Review: 99% certain this splitter killed my drives. Luckily the RMA process worked, but replacing 2 brand new drives with 2 refurbished warranty replacement drives irks me. Beware when using this product.

Pros: Great little server. I currently have it as a WHS box providing backups, but only because I had an unused license. I would probably either roll it with FreeNAS or unRAID for backup purposes.

Cons: Doesn't come with more memory out of the box.

Overall Review: Love how it can run ESXi. The processor isn't all that beefy (i.e., no video transcoding), but for fileserver / devserver duties, this thing is awesome.

Pros: I've purchased many of these Green drives, starting with the EARS, then on to these EZRX, and now the same EZRX drives retail box as "Desktop Mainstream" drives. Low power, cool and quiet. Not the fastest drives, but they work great in my 15-drive home server. WD RMA process is pretty quick as well, should you need to take advantage of it (have needed to a few times), though the last time they replaced it with a refurb.

Cons: Still not sure if I need to use the wdidle3 tool on these drives, or if it was only on the EARS.

Overall Review: I'll probably start migrating to the Red drives for future purchases if the price continues to fall.

Pros: Single rail; super efficient; great quality; modular. Replaced a perfectly working Corsair Bronze certified.

Cons: Seasonic wouldn't send me an extra modular cable, but they did refer me to a dealer. Would have been nice for them to just send me the part that probably costs 10 cents to make.

Overall Review: It does what it's supposed to! Using it in my home server, running 15 drives (and counting).

Pros: It's big, fast, and runs fairly cool.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Some people reported that it's loud, but I haven't noticed. I have it in a Rosewill USB 2.0/eSATA external enclosure and I barely hear it working away. Runs much cooler than the previous WD 160GB SATA drive I had in there.
