Respawn LAN Forums _ Computers _ 5 in 3 drive bay converters

Posted by: Shub0xx Mar 4 2011, 06:54 PM

Good evening everyone,

Just curious as to the opinions of others regarding 5 in 3 drive bay converters. I am looking for something that won't keep me awake at night with the fan screaming like in a blade server.

Hot swap would be nice, but not a requirement.

Any ideas? I know Goose told me to look at ebay, but after more suggestions while I save cash.

Known Issues Can Be:
Heat
Noise
Generally Sata/SAS splitters are 4-to-1's - May not be an issue, but i like it for neatness of the case
Expensive

Positives:
More Drives!
Can be hot-swap

I have one of these:

It's not too bad. You can consider one of these:

But it may be shitty.

Good luck!
