  Faulty design and poor availability of accessories

  Never before has a housing annoyed me so much.
  
  First, it uses a SAS backplane, so you need a special and comparatively rare cable to use a SATA host. With only 4 drivebays, this is unusual to say the least. But the best thing is that the 4-pin power socket sits directly above the mainboard and protrudes. If the plug then has to go in, even more space is missing. So that's it for decently high coolers without any need - there would have been plenty of room on the other side of the backplane - or below the backplane, where there is nothing.
  The fans are deafening (even by server standards) and regulate via DC, not PWM. So they are turned up all the way, permanently. In addition, half of the space in the front cannot be used because the 3.5'' drivebays are on top and fans are theoretically on the bottom, but they are not included. But you can't screw them in without taking the whole front apart. Maintenance-friendly is different.
  
  Rack rails are available, but are usually not in stock.
  
  It is definitely a fun tinkering project to solve all the problems in the enclosure. But in so many places you simply ask yourself whether you should really spend so much money on it. I wouldn't buy it again. more
