zeroid Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 ... But with front loading access. Well I don't mind hot swap but they're too expensive (looking for under £40), so there must be some cages don't require removal of the whole cage just to replace a drive? Quote Link to comment
foo_fighter Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Not sure if they are in the uk but the icy dock black vortex is < $30 from newegg. I just picked up the backplane version. Quote Link to comment
zeroid Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Looks like it is. Thanks very much! Quote Link to comment
vinnie Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I've just received one of these from X-Case: http://www.xcase.co.uk/component-parts/storage-caddy/an-d35-trayless-hot-swap-cage-49-99-x-case.html No caddy in this one and it does have the backplane. Variable fan speed switch too. I was looking to replace my existing 5in3 hotswap for something without a caddy. I was sick of all the screwing/unscrewing every time I changed a disk. These look very nice. Aluminium outer case and the front doors to each bay are also Black Aluminium. Little bit pricey at £59.99 I suppose but also check out their other cages, there might be something you like there. Quote Link to comment
