Where can I find a good removeable hard drive rack?

[ahsia]

I am looking to get a couple of these, and I don't know which ones are good. I've been seeing the Vantec EZ Swap Removeable Hard Drive Rack ad here at anandtech.com, but they don't seem to be available on pricewatch. I bought a few from compugeeks, and they were horrible. None of them worked after a few weeks. Those of you who use removeable HD racks, or know of any good ones, please let me know! Thanks!

I have this one and it works well. It's well-built, not too expensive, cools well and works great with the few drives I've thrown at it so far.

I like and use the Lian-Li mobile racks. See my reply in this thread from 2 days ago..

Really? Thats terrible! I have four of those and swap in/out all the time. I've had them for 1-1/2 years+ and haven't had any problems. Maybe I'm just lucky? Nah, not me 😉

Damn, you are lucky. I bought like 5 of these, and I think one works now. After connecting and re-connecting the drive bays, they just stop working. Really weird....

So anybody else here about these Vantec's? They look really cool....

I swap my Lian-Li's in and out of my system lke crazy. At least 10 times per day on the average. I've been doing this for almost a year now and have never had ONE problem with them. I'm 100% satisfied with the quality of these racks. Note, however, that they are the aluminum tray versions, not the all-plastic versions that are much more common. That's why they are $30 instead of $10. You get what you pay for!
