Best 5 in 3 SATA Enclosures [3 x 5.25" to 5 x 3.5"] & a couple questions

I'd like to get a recommendation from someone with first hand experience working with these. I'm leaning towards this one.

What is Patent Balance Handle - No Skew In/Out? Anyone know if this supports staggered hdd start up or is that determined by the RAID controller?

Thanks,

Dem

I can only recommend getting a Supermicro cage. I have Aopen (identical to istar, IIRC) at home and Supermicro in the office. The difference is such that I'll probably throw out my stuff and get a Supermicro.

Thank you uOpt. I'll get the SuperMicro unless I hear anything else. Any more experience with these racks?

I have a Procase one (5-in-3), and I can say it's noisy..... whether it's noisy compared to others I don't know but it sure is noisy compared to the rest of my system
