XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-01

Installs quickly into Storm Sniper case. Western Digital 1TB drive install in less than 5 minutes. Initialize and quick format hdd, backup 50 GB data in less than 30 minutes. Looks beautiful in the case, works like a dream. Can"t wait to fill up the remaining two hdd slots!


Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 1000w-2012-09-01


XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 1000W is one of the best for quality SLI/Crossfire builds. Clean look, quiet fan, modular (a must for DYI builds), sleeving is high quality and very versatile and single rail is fantastic. It fired right up on a new I-7 build the 100% modular makes a big difference in a smaller case when installing. The noise level is incredibly low. I cannot hear it over the sound of my case. Modular cables look good in their ribbon-like arrangement, great for cable management when squeezing them through tight spaces.  Power cables are just long enough to wire things. Enough molex connectors to power a few fan controllers and such (H100 needs a molex).


XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-01

Well-built, much better than other 4-in-1 devices I"ve read about or seen.  Dual power plugs, SATA and SAS connectors...it has everything you should need.


XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-01

4 2.5" drives in one 5.25" bay! It works great! Right now, I have 2 32 gig patriot ssd"s running in raid 0. Now, for those velociraptors . . . This was the perfect solution to my drive question.


 


XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-01

I love the manufacturing of this bay. It is quite sturdy and very appealing to the eye. The bays when loaded feel very tight in there place. The fan pushes an extreme amount of air. I installed this drive into an old Asus barebones I purchased here a while ago and it fit quite well. I paired this with a 3ware 3950 controller running SATA drives. Overall performance has been good.

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-09-01

This case is big enough to accommodate my GTX 260 video card (after re-positioning the Smart HDD modular system cages) and my Scythe Mugen 2 B CPU cooler (after removing the 18 cm side fan). The fit and finish of the case is good. The front door fits well.

PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel PC Case-2012-08-31

XClio Windtunnel PC Case
Pros: It"s huge. When I got it, I thought I accidentally ordered a Caterham 7 kit car...this thing is huge. My IT friend thought it was a server tower. Anyhow, there is a TON of room inside. I had a bit of trouble getting the front panel to stay on once I took it off, but it"s pretty much fine now. The I/O plate and my mobo (Asus M5A97) didn"t line up with the board on the standoffs, but I"d rather have it on the standoffs. Not too keen on the blue LEDs, though, but only because it seems like computer hardware HAS to be blue nowadays.
Everything I expected for (at the time I ordered it) a $90 case, well worth the money. Keeps my 1090T and HD6790 (and everything else) nice and cool under decent loading.


Cons: Where the f%$& am I gonna put this thing?

XClio IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-08-31

Waited for this Hot-Swap Cage for awhile. Did my research and bought it. The Hot-Swap Cage looks nice, it doesnt look like the other cages thats plastic and looks cheap. I have my main drive with operating system locked in the cage. Computer sometimes wont wake up when left for awhile. I had to go to power options to set "put computer to sleep" to never.

XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-08-31

Chassis & rail have full metal construction; Very well-built.  80mm low-profile turbo fan mounted on the underside provides plenty of airflow where your hard drive needs it most. On/Off switch allows you to leave the drive in-place without actually powering up the drive.  Direct connection between MoBo and chassis, and direct connection between chassis and hard drive means *ZREO* loss in data transfer speeds!


XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-08-31

 Overall a good deal. Installation and use are straight forward. Solid construction. No problems as of yet. Good price and as usual very good delivery on NewEgg"s part. Diffidently a good investment as compared to other removable drive enclosures.


XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-08-31

 Fast tool less install, trayless, three lockable SATA cables, hot-swappable, led on-off option, lockable, two power inputs to power three HDD"s, and mostly aluminum construction that fits in a two bay space.

XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-08-31

 


*Support both 9.5mm & 12.5mm heigh 2.5" HDD/SSD
* 2 quiet 30mm fans
*Tray -less and Screw-free HDD/SSD installation
* Feels fairly robust (assuming you know how to handle RAID cages)
* Comes with 4 SATA cables
* Nice box (getting picky)
EXCELLENT build quality, especially if you have used cheaper RAID cages before.
I installed two of them in my XW workstation with 8 15K drives in them, and they are VERY quiet. I had previously had some cheap cages in there, and the difference is staggering. No vibration, no weird noises...even with all those drives it sounds (almost) like a normal computer.



XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-08-31

 


Never bought anything from XClio before & didn"t have very high expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Solid construction, everything is metal with the exception of the front latches. Drive caddies are made of metal and quite solid. The 30mm fans aren"t louder than the other 120"s in my system.  Decent airflow on the drive. I installed a single platter 7200RPM laptop drive & after stressing it for an hour it topped out at 33C.

Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 750w-2012-08-31

First time buyer of XClio products. My impression is that I would certainly buy from them again. XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W has great modular design with cool and quiet operation. 80Plus Gold certificate. Capable of SLI. Silent fan is great. I can"t hear my PC over the TV anymore. Modular cabling is very neat. Cables are plenty long enough in my HAF912. Plenty of power for my overclocked i5 and crossfired 6870s.


XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-08-31

Fits description. It is the best tool-less, tray-less drive bay I have ever seen. Hardware and mechanisms are solid. the fan moves air. It locks. The activity lights are great.  Great overall product.


 



 


 

XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-08-31

 Solid construction- very sturdy. Sliding vent covers on drive trays to block airflow in empty trays. Easy to swap the cooling fan.


XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-08-31

Very well built. No problems with installation.Packaged well.Data Transfer Rate up to 6.0 Gb/s.  Solid construction, good cooling, nice solid trays & handles.

XClio Touch 787 Super Tower Chassis Review from Tweak Town


I just found out a very good PC case from XClio. They have a touch panel  to control 10 fans at once. I think this is very "cool". Just check out the pics and there is a review for the Touch 787 from Tweak Town.




 


Very nice review, this is a very nice PC case and I love it.


XClio TR2535USB (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack with USB3.0 Hub )-2012-08-30

2.5" and 3.5" hdd swap bays.  Sata III 6G. Works with ssds. Tray-less and screw-less, easy to install.


 


 

Power Supply XClio Goodpower 750W-2012-08-30

This is another great PSU from XClio.  XClio Goodpower 750W is super quiet. XClio is right up there with other top brands, but at a much more affordable price. DO NOT CHEAP OUT YOUR PSU, YOU WILL REGRET IT!! Maybe not now, or next week, but if you cheap out , you can kiss a few of your components goodbye as low quality PSU"s don"t just poop out, they fry other components just to spite you. 


Power Supply XClio Goodpower 750W-2012-08-30

I have had this XClio Goodpower 750W for about a week now and it has been on that entire time none stop. I"m a big gamer and i can say that so far there are no issues at all it run smooth and quite very nice.  I chose this psu after my a-power 800w died, and this one is considerably more silent. I thought it was doa until I looked at my hdd activity light. Very easy to install. I will buy this same psu for my another build. 80Plus Bronze certified, good!

XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-08-30

 


Holds four 2.5 drives, perfect for a RAID10 /. Looks like you can do the multi-path SAS on this, though I don"t use this technology in my workstation. The sleds for the drives are pretty nice construction. Aesthetically this thing is sharp looking. I haven"t really seen any other available 4 bay 5.25 inch containers that appear to be as good construction as this, so it"s kind of a no-brainer if you"re on the market for one.


XClio TR2535USB (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack with USB3.0 Hub )-2012-08-30

Quality build, easy access, uses ONE 5.25" bay for one 3.5" AND one 2.5" sata drive, on/off switch, vibration/noise isolated mount, only uses one power connector for both drives.

XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-08-30

 Works great. keeps drives cool even on low fan setting.  Easy access and it locks.  Clever design. Installed it and inserted a SATA drive. The results were good. I swapped the dirve with another SATA and it worked good.


 


Power Supply XClio Goodpower 750W-2012-08-30

This right here is a GOOD power supply. XClio Goodpower 750W provides plenty of power and is 80+ bronze! For the price it was at this was a steal.  One of the best 650w out there. Very efficient, inexpensive, and reliable. Bronze Class seals the deal.   It"s powered everything I"ve needed.  I"ve been a computer tech for many years. I"ve installed hundreds of PSUs and let me tell you, this one blew me away from the moment I opened the package, extremely well made.
