January 31, 20215 yr Hello!, Anybody with experience with any 4in1 and 6in1 cages that can provide feedback on noise & heat?. I've been evaluating these: Icy Dock MB994SP-4SB-1 Icy Dock MB607SP-B Silverstone FS204B But lately though about jumping to the 6 drive cages: Icy Dock MB608SP-B Icy Dock MB996SP-6SB
January 31, 20215 yr Nothing wrong with any of them provided that you have enough air movement for cooling.. front input and rear exhaust fans. But I'll just add that 2.5" drives were never (at least according to my recollection) recommended for long term / NAS type storage solutions.. they didn't have the reliability factor of 3.5" drives. Maybe that's changed now and I'm just old school...
January 31, 20215 yr I went all-in with a 8 in 1 ToughArmor : https://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=192 Only using 4 drives for the moment but I figured that this would leave me space for future evolution. I am very happy with build quality and temperature. The SSDs stay between 26 to 33°C and the tiny fans are not particularly audible over the general server cooling. The server is in my living room, not super silent but it is not an jet engine either.
