Hotswap Bays

As above does hot swap bays actually slow down your SSD.

I have seen some results before where the read/write was greatly reduced because of using hot swap bays.

I currently use one in my 900D but have never tested this as of yet

Not if they are made properly and are rated @ sata 6 GB/s

I'm running 2 icyboxes for my storage drives. tbh there's no drives out there yet that can saturate a SATA2 bus (3GB/s). Any caddy out there will support SATA2, especially any that allow the SATA data cable to connect directly to the hdd. Experience talking.

Well I hope they are made properly the 900D is a £300 case

Yeah I have had a few cases, the Zalman I had used to slow my ssd speeds down.
I haven't checked the 900D bays but wasn't sure if it was a general thing

Thanks

There are loads of drives that exceed Sata 2. Sata 2 is 3Gb/s which is roughly 375MB/s. Plenty of SSD's have 500MB/s + Read / Write speeds.

Yep the corsair one seems ok on all tests

Corsair is also sending me one out FOC to add to my case which is nice

A additional HHD hot swap I mean
