SATAMAXI System Reviewed

I called Promaxx tech support and they said either it is a power issue or a heat issue or both and that they will test it out more.

Could be that my radeon card's fan is less than a centimeter away from my sata card?

Ahhh yes - heat and power...

The raptor drives run quite hot.

My 10k Atlas IV scsi drives seemed to be much cooler last time i checked.
They are a much better bet for internal mounting.

I was wondering how that drive mounting solution would effect the airflow and temperature of the air to the processors. I am still going to go with the G5 jam and if I ever need more I will find some kind of external case for the hard drives.

SataMaxi thermaled out with 2 drives. I think the furthest drive back is near a heat sensor.

If it isn't, then this solution will not work for the raptors at least.

Failed after less than 1 hr running 2 layers of 720p content.

Sorry for the hype.

these internal sata solutions are horrible.
they dont work.

they wont work unless they do some real engineering.

christian's computers crashed during recent shows because of heat and cabling issues.
