mixed info on the web, just wondering do you guys use it in a non raid system? i have it installed at present but not really sure if it offers anything to the mixer?
 
It offers full AHCI support for hot swapping SATA drives on any of the SATA ports that connect to the mobo so yes, it is important to have. You don't even have to "safely remove" any drive you plug in, just connect and disconnect whenever.

I use it to dock my backup drives to the Corsair 650D's top SATA docking bay and run weekly backups. An invaluable software/hardware combo to have.

i see, cheers

her mrk i have the Corsair 650D, you enjoying it? done any mods? It was bigger than i was expecting but really like the blackness of it and the top port is handy as well.
 
No problems at all with mine, have a bigger fan on the front though.

Chopped out the grill at the front as well!
 
nice mate and cool photo as well :) mine is really neat inside but gosh the back is a mess of wires and got a job to get the back panel on :D
 
yeah that is my only moan about the case, it could do with an extra half inch as those braided cables from the power supply are pretty thick and don't bend that well! mine needed a few beats to lock
