Internal drive cage

Vibration reducing rubber mounts

If you chose the internal drive cage, you will be able to screw four hard-drives into the cage. The innovative rubber mounts will minimize the drive vibration and help in reducing sound. An 80mm fan sits in front of the drives. The fan bracket is screwless. The whole drive cage fastens into the case with four thumbscrews.

Serial ATA drive cage with tray out

The UltraSCSI 320 and the Serial ATA cages also have four thumbscrews that fasten the cage to the case. Both cages have four slide-out trays that will accommodate your hard-drives.

The empty trays have removable front covers that block airflow. This is a very good idea as it maximizes airflow to the trays that have hard-drives in them.

Screwless fan bracket

The back of the UltraSCSI 320 and the Serial ATA cages have a screwless fan bracket. The fan is cleverly position so it doesn't interfere with the power and interface connectors.

Power and interface connectors

The UltraSCSI and Serial ATA cages are configured as a drive array. As you can see in the picture, all the connectors have been consolidated on the circuit board in the back of the cage. This reduces the number of power and interface connections running around the case. It also allows you to hot-swap the drives. You wouldn't expect any less of a server case would you?
