I have 10 of the above drives with 3 of the above controllers in a Software Raid-5, if you have any questions give me a yell :p) For those looking for great SATA hotswap bays with good cooling, I have 2 of these. Besides being a bit on the noisy side, they keep the drives very cool and the added airflow inside the case keeps everything else cool too! http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/mobilerack/CSE-M35T-1.cfm Regards, Brad
