Hi
I've got a rig I built as a secondary, and one of its duties is to image both SATA and PATA (ATA-100) hard drives for my client's PC rollouts. Right now I have a SATA tray, which fits fine. I then have an Enermax hotswap tray. Would be fine, except it is ~ 8.5inches deep, and no matter what bay I put it in, it winds up colliding with stuff on the mainboard (24-pin ATX power connector, RAM, capacitors, etc) while still sticking out an inch or so from the front of the case.
Case is an Antec 300.
Sooo what I need to know is if they make a unit that is shallower than the Enermax unit (probably would need to be 7 or 7.5 inches deep at most).
Ideas, or is it not going to get any shallower due to the extra connectors for the 40-pin header vs SATA being a direct connect into the backplane?
