This review is from: Sans Digital HDDRACK5 5-Bay IDE/SATA Hard Drive Organizing RackI have a home brew Linux file server, and I needed somewhere better to fit my 5-drive setup (2x WD Green 1.0TB RAID-1 + 2x Seagate 1.5TB RAID-1 + 500GB system/boot drive). This rack did the job just fine.The setup was easy enough - simply screw in four thumbscrews per drive, then slide it into the rack's bay. The plastic snap was a bit tight for my WD drives, but my Seagate drives snapped in just fine. After being fully assembled, the whole enclosure feels pretty solid (no shaking drives, etc.).I opted to use a 200W power supply from a leftover case to owed these drives externally. The fan works decently, although it's definitely not the the quietest fan; however, it's just in a closet anyways, and the drives themselves combined are much louder than the cooling fan, so it's not that bad.My only complaint is that I wish the rack had some way to mount the power supply, so it's easier to organize and move around. A power supply just dangling around is neither the safest nor most aesthetic thing... But again, in a server closet, it's not that big of a problem.For the price, I probably couldn't ask for more, so I'd recommend this to anyone looking to expand their storage solution....
This review is from: Sans Digital HDDRACK5 5-Bay IDE/SATA Hard Drive Organizing RackSpecial circumstances made it so I had to deploy several servers using homemade cases. I was originally going to cut out harddrive housings, but the time was not worthless than the cost of these. I thought they would feel cheap, but I find them more than sturdy. I have purchased 3 since....
This review is from: Sans Digital HDDRACK5 5-Bay IDE/SATA Hard Drive Organizing RackI have this running with an old power supply, a PCIex adapter and a port multiplier on my WHS, with 5 1TB drives. It works perfectly, looks like a stack of junk, but who cares? Someone with more artsy ability could make it look like a masterpiece, I'd guess, but it sits in a dark corner of my bedroom closet, in a plywood box with filtered air and never gets seen, so utility was my only goal. The rack is well put together, the drives click right in without a problem, and a breeze from the fan would send a New Orleans dweller running for high ground, reliving Katrina. This thing was made for a purpose and it fulfills it like a charm....
