This bay has a very high quality look and feel and the trayless mechanism works like a charm. Also, having lockable bays is definitely an added bonus. Works as advertised: seem solid, the SATA contacts are firm, and the lockable doors help secure the hard disks in place.
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.
I love the manufacturing of this bay. It is quite sturdy and very appealing to the eye. The bays when loaded feel very tight in there place. The fan pushes an extreme amount of air. I installed this drive into an old Asus barebones I purchased here a while ago and it fit quite well. I paired this with a 3ware 3950 controller running SATA drives. Overall performance has been good.
Solid construction- very sturdy. Sliding vent covers on drive trays to block airflow in empty trays. Easy to swap the cooling fan.
Holds four 2.5 drives, perfect for a RAID10 /. Looks like you can do the multi-path SAS on this, though I don"t use this technology in my workstation. The sleds for the drives are pretty nice construction. Aesthetically this thing is sharp looking. I haven"t really seen any other available 4 bay 5.25 inch containers that appear to be as good construction as this, so it"s kind of a no-brainer if you"re on the market for one.

This is another great PSU from XClio. XClio Goodpower 750W is super quiet. XClio is right up there with other top brands, but at a much more affordable price. DO NOT CHEAP OUT YOUR PSU, YOU WILL REGRET IT!! Maybe not now, or next week, but if you cheap out , you can kiss a few of your components goodbye as low quality PSU"s don"t just poop out, they fry other components just to spite you.
I have had this XClio Goodpower 750W for about a week now and it has been on that entire time none stop. I"m a big gamer and i can say that so far there are no issues at all it run smooth and quite very nice. I chose this psu after my a-power 800w died, and this one is considerably more silent. I thought it was doa until I looked at my hdd activity light. Very easy to install. I will buy this same psu for my another build. 80Plus Bronze certified, good!
XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 1000W is an excellent power supply! Got one in my older computer with excellent results and no failures and still have no failures in my second. Never have heard the fan spin, ever - in comparison to other PSU"s that can be loud and obnoxious. It was easy to install. Had it for almost over 2 months now and no problems. Runs as quietly as ever. System is stable with enough spare power for future upgrades/additions. Can"t go wrong with 80+ gold. It runs solid and the modular design gives me lots options. Great deal for 1000w under 200 bucks.
XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 1000W is one of the best for quality SLI/Crossfire builds. Clean look, quiet fan, modular (a must for DYI builds), sleeving is high quality and very versatile and single rail is fantastic. It fired right up on a new I-7 build the 100% modular makes a big difference in a smaller case when installing. The noise level is incredibly low. I cannot hear it over the sound of my case. Modular cables look good in their ribbon-like arrangement, great for cable management when squeezing them through tight spaces. Power cables are just long enough to wire things. Enough molex connectors to power a few fan controllers and such (H100 needs a molex).
Great looks! The blue LED Fans are huge and quiet. This case has plenty of room and was a breeze to set up... Truly a tooless case. My computer was packed with 3 HD"s 4 optical drives an FX -60 processor and 2 Geforce 7800 GTX"s running SLI. My system ran really hot until now. This case keeps everthing cool. Front Magnetic Door easy close and open.
Chassis & rail have full metal construction; Very well-built. 80mm low-profile turbo fan mounted on the underside provides plenty of airflow where your hard drive needs it most. On/Off switch allows you to leave the drive in-place without actually powering up the drive. Direct connection between MoBo and chassis, and direct connection between chassis and hard drive means *ZREO* loss in data transfer speeds!
Price to quality this product is great. Exactly what is advertised and what I would have expected to see. If your looking for simple hot swap ability of drives between systems or the convenience of being able to quickly replace a drive in a system that does not have hot swap bays already installed this is a great quality simply solution.
Piece of cake to install. No screws needed to install a the drive just open the latch and slide it in. A great way to access drives. In the future I will be only buying SATA drives so this gives me flexibility in backing data up and also removal if I want to cut down on the power being drawn and extra heat being generated. I like the fact that I do not have to buy trays for the drives and that it is a complete system. Just plug in a drive.

I was looking for something like this for a long time and everything I saw was cheap plastic. This one is top of the line, solid aluminum. Yes, it is pricy but you pay for quality product. Easy to install and you get 4 drives cage in 3 bays space. SATA cables are lockable.

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.
Works great. keeps drives cool even on low fan setting. Easy access and it locks. Clever design. Installed it and inserted a SATA drive. The results were good. I swapped the dirve with another SATA and it worked good.
Solid construction- very sturdy. Sliding vent covers on drive trays to block airflow in empty trays. Easy to swap the cooling fan.
Waited for this Hot-Swap Cage for awhile. Did my research and bought it. The Hot-Swap Cage looks nice, it doesnt look like the other cages thats plastic and looks cheap. I have my main drive with operating system locked in the cage. Computer sometimes wont wake up when left for awhile. I had to go to power options to set "put computer to sleep" to never.
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.
XClio Touch 787 Super Tower Chassis Review from Tweak Town
I just found out a very good PC case from XClio. They have a touch panel to control 10 fans at once. I think this is very "cool". Just check out the pics and there is a review for the Touch 787 from Tweak Town.
Very nice review, this is a very nice PC case and I love it.

+ PERFORMANCE: ONLY cage for 2.5" SFF drives that can support 6Gbps. Specs say SAS1/SATA2 but from tests here(over 3 months) and prior contact with XClio support, it will support at least 6Gbps for SAS2. ( I have no SATA3 drives so do not know for certain but support says it does. )
+ FOUR drives in one 5.25" slot allows RAID configuration.
+ DUAL port outputs(SAS-* interface drives).
+ DUAL fans that are very quiet and keep drives cooler(single fan is not enuf and MUCH too noisy).
+ DUAL power input for stability.
+ SPRING force to absorb shock and hold the individual drives" slots in place.
+ TIGHT fit when sliding drives into enclosure.
The HDD modular system vertical stacking makes running lots of drives easy. I run 8 drives with all interfaces so wire managment was hard. I also have a long video card and moved my top HDD tray to second from the top(under the DVD writer). I had to switch the bottom and top front fans to get the fans aligned over the HDD tray moved up. Just barely enough wiggle room . The ability to move that tray, have the PS on the bottom and the absolute best air flow possible though there are some limitations. The fan controls on top of the unit work beautifully. Both the top and the side fans also have on/off switches on the outside of the case. Not "too thin" metal. The tool less design is great, easy to work with for the most part. By far one of the best cases I have ever bought! Just the airflow alone is worth it"s weight in gold. The openeings at the back are handy if you do liquid cooling. not built too thin. Just right and awesome for the prices.
Piece of cake to install. No screws needed to install a the drive just open the latch and slide it in. A great way to access drives. In the future I will be only buying SATA drives so this gives me flexibility in backing data up and also removal if I want to cut down on the power being drawn and extra heat being generated.

Pros: XCLIO GREATPOWER 1200W has very good quality modular cabling, has very stable voltages, and the fan is very quiet. I have ho zero problems with it in the 2 Months I have been using it with 3 HD"s, one optical drive, 9800 gx2, e8400(overclocked to 4.1 Ghz), 4 Gigs of ram, and 4 large case fans. I love the modular design which is color coded so that you always use the correct rails for stability of output.Other Thoughts: There are more attractive looking power supplies out there but I can"t see any reason not to enjoy the quality and ease of use that I am experiencing with this product. I plan on adding another 9800 gx2 for quad SLI which will easily be handled by this power supply with power to spare!
I purchased this item to replace my original one. This unit is MUCH better.
First, this unit actually fits. My previous one was too wide and had to be forced into the case, while this one slid in easily. Second, this metal unit feels like a tank -- smooth and professional.
I tried Dual Booting and didn"t really like how things were going with it. I now have two of these and will purchase two more here shortly. NO More problems with my system. I put my Vista Drives in and I have a Vista System. I change them out and have an XP system! TWO Machines for little cash invested! PLUS I like to try out new things like Linux and I will be taking some Server courses. Way trash your everyday system or bring it down even for a few hours by mistake when you can pull out your Everyday system and Put in another drive tinker with it and then swap it again whenever you want!
Chassis & rail have full metal construction; Very well-built. 80mm low-profile turbo fan mounted on the underside provides plenty of airflow where your hard drive needs it most.
