The drive sleds are made out of thin plastic and seem cheap compared to SuperMicro sleds, which were thicker and reinforced with metal.Unless the drive tray is made out of cheap plastic, the limiting factor is the aluminum case of the drive as the screws just go through holes in the trays.
Not that i'm aware of but I wasnt really in a position to know. We used all sorts of SATA disks (desktop and cloud class) in them and they generally seemed to work. I know we had custom firmware for some disks, although I never knew what was changed in it.Any known issues with backplanes or other quirkiness, common failures or things to look out for?
