I bought these simply for the "Ice Pack" tray which this model converts SAS to SATA 3.5 form factor, and keeps my drives cool. I replaced the 160GB drives, those are moving ZERO, hence the "Slow"! I use these trays on 15k.3 SED drives in a RAID 5, keeps them ice cold! If you need to convert SAS to SATA pinout, and mount in a 3.5" bay which needs an adapter anyway, and a seperate SAS adapter for your fanout cable, you can have it all in one right here! Just get the right ones, some only do SATA. I have also seen models where you can see the pins for a second channel of SAS across the top, these are only single channel, and they have worked great on every SAS drive I have tried..

Computer wouldn't recognize it. Any computer I tried it in wouldn't recognize it. I formatted it to NTFS, FAT32, and FAT16. I also tried a couple Linux formats and OSs. When the computer is turned on you can hear it spool up but that's it. You'll have that buying used parts. I can't see it being tested and shipped arriving in the shape it's in.

I just built myself a new system, upgrading from seven year old technology. It contains two of these (among other drives)on a Gigabyte 970a ds3 board, amd athlon II 450 cpu, eight gig of ram. These two drives were used/pulls, but work great! My OS is on one, in its own partition. It provides very snappy performance. The second drive is setup like the first, only the OS partition is empty. I use this drive for my various programs. Setup this way, if my main drive/OS goes, all I have to do is load the OS on the second drive.
Came exactly as described, functions correctly. Good purchase. Noticeable improvement in performance over the old 5400 RPM hard drive.
