I have 2x WD 500g in RAID0 as a DATA drive and 1x 2Tb Hitachi (7200rpm) a backup storage (Acronis images, ISO"s, etc). The drives hot swap easily, handle snaps positively in place ensuring a tight connection. Additionally, the length is shorter than many other similar devices. No problem with bumping into the mobo power connector or long video. My Vantec caddy is too long!

The other reviewers are correct, this item is extremely well-made. Sturdy & comforting. I would have NO problem putting these into high-performance environments. Other ppl complained about the fans, but I can"t hear them at all, and my PC is pretty quiet.
This is a great way to save space. I have mine mounted is a 3U server case. Works great for me. This is the best way to add raid to smaller cases. Nice design. Compact size, versatility and construction are the best features. As compared to other similar units it is by far a more sturdy unit.
Solid construction. The best feeling and looking SSD cage I have bought to date. Good use of a 5-1/4" slot. Trays slide well. Solid drive caddies, easy installation, well built product. We switched over to using these in our arrays after trying one, as the drive insertion and removal works correctly.
Looks like a server case (tons of bays), tool-less install for HDs and DVD drives. Its a bit hard to use the tool-less but it works. Room for 3-4 dvd drives and 8-10 HDs. It has 4 fans, that look well placed. Has speed controls for the big top and side fans. Power Supply fits on the bottom so its very stable. Lots of LED lights!! Got some whistles from tech savvy friends as they looked in the case for the first time. It looks pretty good.
This is a very good case with 4 fans (5 if you add one to the back), It keeps everything cool with its very good airflow, This thing does better then some of the expensive branded cases out there that cost over 150$ and have bad airflow. For this great price you just can"t go wrong. Really good case. If your building a budget PC and don"t want to mnake it top notch and want your videos cards and everything else to stay cool, You will be crazy not to own one of these trust me guys.

Pros: Good design and construction. Everything comes apart with screws for customization. Plenty of airflow around HDDs.
Cons: Activity light is too dim. Fans are loud.
Other Thoughts: I only have 7200rpm drives and have power management enabled therefore I was able to open and disable both fans without any side effects. The case itself gets plenty of airflow over the disks without the fans at all. It would have gotten 5 stars if the fans were silent. I haven"t tried it but suspect that 10k drives would work just fine without the fans as well as long as they"re not spinning 24x7.
XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W is DEAD SILENT. I can"t hear it at all. It provides more than enough power for my current setup with lots of room to upgrade. Pumps out the power I need to get things done for a quad core and lots of usb hoggers. Voltages are nearly spot on. Unboxing of this unit you can see the quality.
I heard XClio and their mixed quality, but a lot of the bad reviews seemed to be on the lower end models. I bought this STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W power supply, and I have been very happy with it. The price for a 80plus gold PSU was great, It came in a very high quality almost tool box like storage case, It runs very cool, plenty of cables, and it seems to very stable with my I7 950 Oc"d to 4.2 Ghz. Overall, I am very impressed by the quality of it.
This thing has plenty of power to run any cards in SLI and still have plenty for add-ons. It is almost silent and stays very cool. It look awesome IMO. I noticed a huge decrease from heat upgrading from a bronze 500w. Buy this PSU. Dont try to save money when you purchase a PSU. Unless you dont mind the increase chance of frying your mobo or other hardware. Besides this Gold model saves money in the long run. This thing looks professional. I dont like hardware that looks like toy and this thing looks like you built a system that will last.
XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W is very quiet. My case fans were louder. I can"t hear the fan spinning. It has more than sufficient power for my quad core and 2 x 5870 video cards. Eliminated the weird squeal that my previous PS had with some games. Also very energy efficient. I used to have to have two computers to run my office applications, now I have just one with this power supply. Now my office averages 2-3 degrees cooler than it used to. That"s how much difference one of these 80plus gold rated can make.
XClio Windtunnel PC Case
Pros: I have been using the original "Advanced" version of this case (same case as this except an added 180mm top fan) since I built this i7 920 setup back in 2008. I have ran my comp nearly 24/7 since then, and I can"t believe the big 250mm fans are still running perfectly to this day at constant full speed. Add a 120mm rear fan and the airflow is just amazing, also it is nearly silent because the 250mm fans don"t need to run at high RPM.
Cons: The plastic feet are sort of fragile, but I took mine off since it stands up fine without them anyway.
Other Thoughts: I remember the box being a bit dinged up when I got it, but luckily nothing was damaged. Reading other case reviews here, this seems to happen quite a bit, but not sure if newegg or shipping co. are to blame.

XClio Touch 320 PC Case
Pros: Smooth looking case, holds 8 hard drives which is always nice. plenty of room for fans*check cons on this one* easy to install everything touch fan controller is pretty sweet. Great all around case for a decent setup or media server that you want a lot of hds in check out cons but if i would have to buy this again knowing what i know i would have not and waited tell they released the fans for them.
Pros: Good design and construction. Everything comes apart with screws for customization. Plenty of airflow around HDDs.
Cons: Activity light is too dim. Fans are loud.

Instant access to drives. In my HAF 932, you have to open both sides of the case just to remove a drive, FAIL.
The fan is on a sealed rear, guaranteeing the drives are cooled. It uses two pairs of SATA power connectors, four SATA data connectors. The fan is quiet. The lights on the front are pretty. A heavy file transfer lit it up, accessing a single file didn"t, running CrystalDiskInfo SMART status freeware did.The units slides in through the front of your case.
THIS ITEM IS AWESOME! This is my 3rd server build in the last few years and this enclosure is by far the best I"ve used. Very professional looking and sturdy construction, no flimsy junk here. Easy install and setup was a no brainer. Installed two of these in my Antec 1200 case with ease, running 5 Hitachi 3tb SATA 3, 7200rpm drives and room for two more enclosures when needed. I also like the two options for cooling fan control. Yea a different setup for the power and SATA cables would have been nice but I had absolutely no issues neatly installing wiring. I"m very pleased and will definitely buy more of these when I need them.
Solid construction. All ports worked. Fan is quiet. Very nice and solid construction. Outer case has a very solid feeling to it. The HD trays are well designed and feel okay . Perfect fit in 3 5.25" bays (I was worried looking at it that it would be really snug), but it fit perfect. Moves a lot of air through the HD bays (all bays), no way a HD is over heating in it (under normal circumstances). Over all, I have to say if anyone is looking for a nice hot swappable SATA/SAS container, this one is darn good.
Fits description. It is the best tool-less, tray-less drive bay I have ever seen. Hardware and mechanisms are solid. the fan moves air. It locks. The activity lights are great. Great overall product.
Fit, function, build quality are all excellent. Bought this to provide hard drive backup options in my WHS server.It works without a single issue.Highly recommended.I am running a 2.5 inch hard drive in the lower bay and two 3.5 inch,1TB drives in the upper bays with not a single hickup.Even though there is no claim to being able to support the 2.5 inch drive,it slides right in.

Fast tool less install, trayless, three lockable SATA cables, hot-swappable, led on-off option, lockable, two power inputs to power three HDD"s, and mostly aluminum construction that fits in a two bay space.

Really nice combination of features:
USB 3.0
3.5 and 2.5 bays
LED lights for each drive
no drive trays required
Everything works on it!
Quality build, easy access, uses ONE 5.25" bay for one 3.5" AND one 2.5" sata drive, on/off switch, vibration/noise isolated mount, only uses one power connector for both drives.
Solid construction, drives snap in place perfectly, supports SATA 3, Has shock mounts on rails. Open construction keeps drives cool.
Plenty of power, protection, length of cables, all the current connections and quiet. Great deal for a solid power supply like XClio Goodpower 650W. I"ve owned many and this is one of the better ones that is reasonably priced. First time I used it I had to check if the fan was running because I did not hear it. Over 80% efficient so less wasted power as heat.
Just got this XClio Goodpower 750W power supply the other day and haven"t even installed as of yet but really like what I am seeing. Didn"t realize it was partially modular but with the cable management solution that I see in the box see lots of possibilities. Have just a few more things to get before I embark of building my monster but with most of the parts coming from Newegg see nothing but good things on the horizon.
*Support both 9.5mm & 12.5mm heigh 2.5" HDD/SSD
* 2 quiet 30mm fans
*Tray -less and Screw-free HDD/SSD installation
* Feels fairly robust (assuming you know how to handle RAID cages)
* Comes with 4 SATA cables
* Nice box (getting picky)
EXCELLENT build quality, especially if you have used cheaper RAID cages before.
I installed two of them in my XW workstation with 8 15K drives in them, and they are VERY quiet. I had previously had some cheap cages in there, and the difference is staggering. No vibration, no weird noises...even with all those drives it sounds (almost) like a normal computer.
