What kind of hotswap kit to get?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any recommendations on what sort of hotswap kit to get for an existing tower server?

 

The only requirements for it are that it be bottom mountable in a 5.25" drive bay and that it is Serial ATA.

We currently use a Promise FastTrak TX2000Pro kit (SATA/ATA RAID card, 2 drive plugs, 2 drive trays) for another of our servers but the drive tray is only mountable from the sides. (this is essentially the same one except ours is an older model)

The server I need to install this in has pull out chasis drive trays which can only mount CDROMs, etc, from the bottom.

Something like this looks good, but there is no way to tell what mounting points the drive tray has.

Any kit recommendations would be preferred but if someone has separate SATA RAID 0+1 recommendations as well as drive tray/plug combos that are bottom mountable that would be awesome.

 

Thanks.
