Does this utilize six sata cables, one for each drive?

I find this question odd because newegg has obviously provided an extra enlarged photo of the back of this device clearly showing 6 ports for 6 data cables and 2 ports for 2 power cables.

How loud are the fans on high?

I read a few reviews that indicated they would be loud. They are loud when on the full setting. Given the nature of where these systems would be placed for my use case, I replaced them with Noctua fans (which are also loud on full settings). However, I was concerned with longevity as well, so I was willing to pay the Noctua premium. On the low setting, you can't really hear them at all (stock or Noctua) over ambient noise.

What is the total height/tallest point of this board?

This isn't a board. It's a drive bay that holds six 2 1/2 inch SSD's or hard drives and fit's in a standard 5 1/4 inch external drive bay like those used for a full sized optical drive. Click on the specifications tab on Newegg's web page for this item and the dimensions are listed there. If you click on the warranty tab for an item there's a link to the manufacturer's web page for that item. The manufacturer's web page often has more detailed information and downloads.
