Looking for a recommendation for a Removale Disk Rack

A

Al Dykes

I need a couple removable hard disk racks and enclosures. I'd
like to pick a brand that's been around awhile so if I need
more trays later I can get them.

I want to use SATA, and I want decent cooling even though
I'm not likely to use anything faster than 7200rpm drives.

Thanks

Thanks, but these seems to be dealers.

They are discount retailers.
I'm looking for a brand that's
likely to be around for a while.

Look more closely at the brands being offered by these retailers.
Kingwin, for example, has been around for a while.

Ron, I see that Kingwin has different models of their SATA-SATA
removable racks: one with no fan, one with one fan, one with two fans,
and one with 3 fans.

As you seem to have experience with this equipment, for a 7200RPM hdd,
at what point is the temp stable (how many fans are enough?) and how
noisy are these units?

Thanks

P.S. If you have a chance to view my post from today (5/31, 11:47AM), I
would appreciate it. And thanks for your support on the SCSI board.

One fan is likely enough but zero fans turns these things into drive ovens
which'll kill a HD in no time so I use the three fan KF-83(~$30 for
rack+tray).
