RE: Drive cages for media server...

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just built my new server with 7 drives in - used Chenbro SATA
backplane cages which are quite good. The 5 drive one has an 80mm fan in
the back which has great performance but is very noisy - I replaced it with
a quiet 80mm fan which is good but I just need to monitor temps. Although,
I think it'll still be fine.

I also had a 3 drive cage which uses an axial fan a bit like the ones you
posted about - these are pretty noisy too though and I don't think there's
much chance of changing them if they're too noisy for you?

Did you want PATA or SATA?

I've connected mine up to a 3Ware SATA RAID controller (8 port) which I'm
particularly impressed with :)

Paul.
