Any experience with stacking drives in the sleds offered under the
vent fan of a Quicksilver 2002?
My Seagates (750 & 500GB) look awfully close together run off the
onboard controller. For heat and ventilation reasons, would prefer
they be separated, but even using a longer style non-CS IDE cable,
I cannot get the distance needed from the last two connectors, to
use the middle sled for the 2nd one.
Would putting the double sled in the middle slot be better or
possibly worse (no longer under the vent fan)? I have the length
from the onboard connection to the end 2 connectors ...
Any suggestions? IDE cable with more length between the end
connectors available?
I don't have any QSs, but in my Sawteeth, DA and GigE I was able to
flip the second drive over, putting the two drives' IDE connectors
closer together. Just close enough that I could mount ONE of them on
a sled and have the other next to it, almost straight. Since my
machines are typically only moved when I need to get inside 'em, I'm
not that concerned about having everything perfectly nailed down and
it worked for me.
When I do use a sled it's for a single drive in the top slot of a
dual slot type, to increase the potential airflow around it.
It would be nice if they just made the cables with a little more
space betwween those two connectors!
