IPC XClio SS014 Backplane-2012-09-13

Pros: Good design and construction. Everything comes apart with screws for customization. Plenty of airflow around HDDs.

Cons: Activity light is too dim. Fans are loud.

Other Thoughts: I only have 7200rpm drives and have power management enabled therefore I was able to open and disable both fans without any side effects. The case itself gets plenty of airflow over the disks without the fans at all. It would have gotten 5 stars if the fans were silent. I haven"t tried it but suspect that 10k drives would work just fine without the fans as well as long as they"re not spinning 24x7.

 

PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel PC Case-2012-09-13

XClio Windtunnel PC Case
Pros: I have been using the original "Advanced" version of this case (same case as this except an added 180mm top fan) since I built this i7 920 setup back in 2008. I have ran my comp nearly 24/7 since then, and I can"t believe the big 250mm fans are still running perfectly to this day at constant full speed. Add a 120mm rear fan and the airflow is just amazing, also it is nearly silent because the 250mm fans don"t need to run at high RPM.

Cons: The plastic feet are sort of fragile, but I took mine off since it stands up fine without them anyway.

Other Thoughts: I remember the box being a bit dinged up when I got it, but luckily nothing was damaged. Reading other case reviews here, this seems to happen quite a bit, but not sure if newegg or shipping co. are to blame.

XClio IPC TR1135 (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack )-2012-09-13

 Easy way to temporarily add in a 3.5 SATA drive and way more useful that a blank slot. Has a locking mechinism. Connections are solid and drive works. Inexpensive, especially compare to most of the tray/trayless drive bays/racks. The installation is easy. Fit perfectly in my 5.25 slot. The size incomparability that happens to some people purchasing Thermaltake N0023SN does not happen to me. Design is decent, solid and smart. A drive can be plugged in/pulled out readily. Trayless really works!

XClio IPC TR1135 (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack )-2012-09-13

 Own several of them. Everything works as advertised. Yes, it"s mostly plastic but so far it works (and looks) just fine. A bargain considering the price and very easy to use in comparison to traditional drawer racks. Use the included cable for the HDD LED.

 

XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-12

 Overall a good deal. Installation and use are straight forward. Solid construction. No problems as of yet. Good price and as usual very good delivery on NewEgg"s part. Diffidently a good investment as compared to other removable drive enclosures.

XClio TR2535USB (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack with USB3.0 Hub )-2012-09-12

 Solid construction, drives snap in place perfectly, supports SATA 3, Has shock mounts on rails. Open construction keeps drives cool.

 

Power Supply XClio Goodpower 750W-2012-09-12

Just got this XClio Goodpower 750W power supply the other day and haven"t even installed as of yet but really like what I am seeing. Didn"t realize it was partially modular but with the cable management solution that I see in the box see lots of possibilities. Have just a few more things to get before I embark of building my monster but with most of the parts coming from Newegg see nothing but good things on the horizon.

Great looks! The blue LED Fans are huge and quiet. This case has plenty of room and was a breeze to set up... Truly a tooless case. My computer was packed with 3 HD"s 4 optical drives an FX -60 processor and 2 Geforce 7800 GTX"s running SLI. My system ran really hot until now. This case keeps everthing cool. Front Magnetic Door easy close and open.

XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12

Installs quickly into Storm Sniper case. Western Digital 1TB drive install in less than 5 minutes. Initialize and quick format hdd, backup 50 GB data in less than 30 minutes. Looks beautiful in the case, works like a dream. Can"t wait to fill up the remaining two hdd slots!

Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 1000w-2012-09-12

XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 1000W is one of the best for quality SLI/Crossfire builds. Clean look, quiet fan, modular (a must for DYI builds), sleeving is high quality and very versatile and single rail is fantastic. It fired right up on a new I-7 build the 100% modular makes a big difference in a smaller case when installing. The noise level is incredibly low. I cannot hear it over the sound of my case. Modular cables look good in their ribbon-like arrangement, great for cable management when squeezing them through tight spaces.  Power cables are just long enough to wire things. Enough molex connectors to power a few fan controllers and such (H100 needs a molex).

XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12

Well-built, much better than other 4-in-1 devices I"ve read about or seen.  Dual power plugs, SATA and SAS connectors...it has everything you should need.

XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

I have 2x WD 500g in RAID0 as a DATA drive and 1x 2Tb Hitachi (7200rpm) a backup storage (Acronis images, ISO"s, etc). The drives hot swap easily, handle snaps positively in place ensuring a tight connection. Additionally, the length is shorter than many other similar devices. No problem with bumping into the mobo power connector or long video. My Vantec caddy is too long!

XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

The other reviewers are correct, this item is extremely well-made. Sturdy & comforting. I would have NO problem putting these into high-performance environments. Other ppl complained about the fans, but I can"t hear them at all, and my PC is pretty quiet.

 

XClio IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

I was looking for something like this for a long time and everything I saw was cheap plastic. This one is top of the line, solid aluminum. Yes, it is pricy but you pay for quality product. Easy to install and you get 4 drives cage in 3 bays space. SATA cables are lockable.

 

Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 1000w-2012-09-11

XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 1000W is an amazing power supply. Comes with one  year warranty although I doubt you will need it. It"s quieter than I was expecting. I am now using it with two gtx 590s and the fan never even has to speed up even if I"m running both cards at load and they are drawing all 1000w of it. Looking inside, the heat sink is massive. Large fan that is extremely quiet. Worth every penny! Its very efficient has not failed yet.

XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

This is a great way to save space. I have mine mounted is a 3U server case. Works great for me. This is the best way to add raid to smaller cases. Nice design.  Compact size, versatility and construction are the best features. As compared to other similar units it is by far a more sturdy unit.

 

XClio IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

I purchased this item to replace my original one. This unit is MUCH better.
First, this unit actually fits. My previous one was too wide and had to be forced into the case, while this one slid in easily.  Second, this  metal unit feels like a tank -- smooth and professional.

XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

Great way to fit 3 drives in 2 bays. Drives stay cool. A great little raid cage, I would both buy again and recommend to a friend.

XClio IPC TR1135 (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack )-2012-09-11

 It works as advertised, looks okay in my case, e-z to install, and it"s trayless. Support up to 6Gb/sec.
Great. I"ve got USB Safe Remove set up to show SATA drives, so I can make sure any writes are flushed before removing.

XClio 256 Color Fan-2012-09-11

Pros: Really nice concept, it delivers a lot of air without any noise. I used a dremel to

cut a circle on the plexiglass side of an old case so cool down by wife"s pc which was

running a 65°C. After installing this and set it to blow down the GPU and motherboard,

temps are not 35°C.

Other Thoughts: To get the color you want, you have to wait until it cycles throught he

different colors (it takes around 15 secodns to go through all of them). Once the leds

change to the color you want, hit the button to make the cycle stop.

XClio Multimedia HDMI Travel Kit-2012-09-11

24K Gold plated HDMI connectors prevents contact corrosion and allows greater signal integrity.

XClio IPC TR1135 (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack )-2012-09-10

 Easy install with no problems, drives slide in and out with no problem. Cost it great for this item. I didn"t get this for frequent swaps such as for backups. I just want the ability to swap OS disks without opening up the case. It seems to work perfectly well for that. For the price I like having the option of swapping disks on a whim.

Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 750w-2012-09-10

XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W is DEAD SILENT. I can"t hear it at all. It provides more than enough power for my current setup with lots of room to upgrade.  Pumps out the power I need to get things done for a quad core and lots of usb hoggers. Voltages are nearly spot on. Unboxing of this unit you can see the quality.

XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-10

Fit, function, build quality are all excellent. Bought this to provide hard drive backup options in my WHS server.It works without a single issue.Highly recommended.I am running a 2.5 inch hard drive in the lower bay and two 3.5 inch,1TB drives in the upper bays with not a single hickup.Even though there is no claim to being able to support the 2.5 inch drive,it slides right in.

 

XClio IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-10

Solid construction. All ports worked. Fan is quiet. Very nice and solid construction. Outer case has a very solid feeling to it. The HD trays are well designed and feel okay . Perfect fit in 3 5.25" bays (I was worried looking at it that it would be really snug), but it fit perfect. Moves a lot of air through the HD bays (all bays), no way a HD is over heating in it (under normal circumstances). Over all, I have to say if anyone is looking for a nice hot swappable SATA/SAS container, this one is darn good.

XClio IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-10

Waited for this Hot-Swap Cage for awhile. Did my research and bought it. The Hot-Swap Cage looks nice, it doesnt look like the other cages thats plastic and looks cheap. I have my main drive with operating system locked in the cage. Computer sometimes wont wake up when left for awhile. I had to go to power options to set "put computer to sleep" to never.
