It's very light and smaller than I expected compared to my desktop mid tower -housing, but it is strong enough. Three fans are silent. I wish they could make the two 5.25" bays more useful. Haven't put 8 discs in yet. I'll let you know if everything works (or not). PS: all 8 hard drives are connected, ZFS RaidZ2 works no problems so far. Update: My 8-disk ZFS Raidz2 has been running for a few days.
