I'm looking at all these hot swap cages, and am not familiar with the criteria I should be using to differentiate.

  • Is trayless "better"?
  • Is 1x80mm fan going to be significantly quieter than 2x60mm fans?
  • Does anyone have a good suggestion on the best cage?
 
Trayless typically is faster to swap a drive. otherwise not a big deal one way or another (IMO)

I onlt saw two identical (other then the color) iStar units. I've always seen this supermicro hot swap cadge recommended:

The only thing with these units is you'll likely have to buy a replacement fan that spins alot slower. since the ones that come with these were made to go inside a actual server where noise is less of a issue.
