September 2, 20169 yr Hey Everyone, I am looking for any recommendations for a 3x 3.5" in 2x 5.25" HDD Cage for adding 3 more drive to my unRAID setup that is available for UK delivery. Thanks, mxmod
September 4, 20169 yr I have used this for 5 years still going.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121912&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Server+-+Accessories-_-N82E16817121912&gclid=Cj0KEQjwjK--BRCzv-Wyu4OTosEBEiQAgFp5OJczliGYaFrCoRUarGubA88u9myfqcalepcqTQ8f_YQaAkya8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds
September 5, 20169 yr I also have this kind of backplanes. They are available from different vendors though. Mine are Chieftec builds called SNT-2131. My experience is good overall, but I wouldn't recommend running hot drives in those bays. The drives are pretty cramped and cooling at a reasonable noise level can be an issue!

September 11, 20169 yr If hot-swap ability isn't a huge concern and you want to save a few dollars, you can take a look at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817995073&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Accessories+-+Hard+Drive-_-N82E16817995073&gclid=CjwKEAjwgdS-BRDA7fT68f6s8zMSJADZwHmvR_2GmOl4_RSQp84_EfeFNlsGh0J3SlaeXJlExt9nghoC0prw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds I use one of those in each of my unRAID servers with no issues.
