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.
QSs ... DAs ... Sawteeth ... GigEs ... Yikes! ... mostly the same
casing, I think. I also have a DA and a Yikes ...
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.
I like that arrangement a lot, too.
It would be nice if they just made the cables with a little more
space betwween those two connectors!
That's the idea ... I think I saw some on cablestogo:

But they say those connectors are at 0-12-18 ... so still only 6
inches at the end ....
Searching ...
