5.25" mobile rack that takes 4x15mm SAS?

[josh]

Hi all,

Looking for a reliable 5.25 mobile rack that fits 4 of HGST SAS SSDs. I was previously using the Thermaltake MAX-1542 but the drives keep dropping out of the system and messing up my ZFS array.

Does anyone have any experience with other models/manufacturers out there? So far I've not managed to find a combination of 15mm + SAS.

Thanks in advance.

You won't go wrong with the SuperMicro mobile racks. Rock solid. You will probably need to do something to tame the fans a bit - resistor mod or something - or you'll have to hide it in a soundproof room.

I can't seem to find a place to buy this. There's only one listing on ebay for $160.

I usually like SM for quality, the 2*5.25" 8 slot mobile rack has very good quality, but the M14TQC has very poor fit and finish, the trays get stuck all the times. I have 2 of them, one is kind of ok but the other ones stucks all the times even after swapping the trays.

I don't know why IcyDock gets so much praises either, very poor fit and finish.

Go with M28SACB if you have 2*5.25" bays, much better quality. You can get the OEM version if you case has good air flow, it's cheaper and quieter without fan. Again I have 2 of them.

If you really want M14TQC , NewEgg has it for $159

I've seen that but I've never bought from wiredzone before so I'm a little apprehensive

Wiredzone are OK to deal with. They are a direct reseller for SM so most of the time they just forward the order and you get the product drop-ship from SM.
