Great product - does exactly what you want

Great product - does exactly what you need. Good surface material. Blue LEDs indicate when a drive is connected. The activity lights do not work automatically - there is a connector with a pin for each activity light on the back - so unless you have a connector for each SATA cable, this indicator may not work in your application. Shells need to be properly aligned before being inserted, as nothing needs to be automatically aligned if you insert them crookedly.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Negative impression

However, when I install Kingston Hyper-X 120GB SSDs in a bay, that bay lights up with a purple drive LED like the drive is constantly being accessed, even before POST is complete. The drives appear to be working fine, but any VMs loaded onto the Kingston Hyper-X drives are slowly degrading as corrupted data is written to the drive through this bay. The same

Pros
  • Waiting for
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
