Is it normal to not be able to use the sled's lid for 14.8mm SAS disks?

Yes, I cannot use the sled's lid when using full height drives like the WD Velociraptor, which are similar in size to SAS SFF disks.

I am not familiar with the gamecube media. I am presuming they are disc media like cd or DVD but smaller diameter. While I am not certain my guess would be probably not. I say that because the lid closure itself prevents the mechanism from lowering enough to accommodate smaller diameter discs. I see a response by John Fast indicated a possible adapter and it would be worthwhile investigating that possibility.

Mine was different than the photo as well. However, slim HDD's are 7mm (9/32 roughly), not 9.5mm. You can fit either though, I have tried both. With the slim drive I simply left the tray that it is attached to on it. It is very cheap, but hey for $10 or less, that's kind of what to expect. I added electrical tape to mine to hold the HDD in place, and it doesn't match the bezel of my T410 at all, but I do have 2 local drives now so I couldn't care less.

Some sort of spacer or standoff between the drive and the chassis is required.

There are much easier ways to move your data than removing the optical drive and installing a second internal - which you would also need.I would hire a competent person to do the data migration for you. "Buy a sled" isn't really the solution.

You can replace the drive with any size SATA or SAS drive, however if you are using RAID you should have all drives in the astray match capacity. SAS and SATA cannot exist in the same array but can be set up in dire separate arrays on the same controller.

Well I didn't try that but am sure its not support any hdd Thicer than 9.5 mm so not possible even to try any hdd more than 1 tb as it should be more Thicke than 9.5 mm

Many models (including this one) seem to be omitting that feature these days. The idea is that if you are opening the tray then you need to be up there anyway to insert a new disc.

@Alexei: Does the cooler fit at all? Or just when you try to squeeze in a 3.5" drive?From the description of the M350, it's only supposed to be able to hold a 2.5" drive (e.g. a laptop drive), or a 2nd one if you get the additional rails. It's not supposed to be able to hold a 3.5" drive.Thanks for the info!

Yes. I have done this several times. The hdd fits snugly though, and it is quite difficult to get in and out. I used a screwdriver, but a flatbladed scaper of some sort might be better.

The best thing that you can do is contact intel support. I like using the Chat, they are quick to respond and will help you for free and have always helpped me. The short answer to your question is probably. If it is an Intel backplane, usually there are four to six drives per SAS cable. You connect your RAID card to the expander card with SAS cables and then use SAS cables to connect the expander to the backplane. The connection schema is not intuitive, hence you will need to speak with an Intel tech support. Usually the documentation is very poor or even incorrect. The Intel support will give you a download link for good diagrams or will simply tell you which ports connect where.

I can't answer if it's typical or not. Mine is flat and I have no trouble having it on my server tray.

Works for me. Are you using light scribe disks and turning them upside down when putting into the drive? Did you download the light scribe part of the software? I don't remember if that was automatic or had to be selected. If nothing works, contact Lite-On support.

I guess not, SAS drivers are not suported, have a look for more details in http://d.buffalo.jp/ls421de/

Did you buy a diskless model and install a drive in it? Unless you bought a preconfigured model, there is some setup work before you can use the DS. Ricardo's answer only pertains to preconfigured Beyond Cloud models.

The only drive I could find was the silverstone drive... It's a slotted slim drive. Full size drives won't fit at all. The drive placement is right behind the vertical slot on the bottom right in the picture.

It's been awhile since I put my together... I currently have one SSD as the OS Drive, one 3.5 data drive and if I remember correctly it's using up all the space on that mount. There is a 5.25 bay which I'm using for a Blu-Ray drive, but I'd imagine you could get something like a 3.5 to 5.25 adapter and get your 3rd drive in there that way. Page 3 in the manual (6 on the PDF) will give you a better idea of how the insides are laid out: http://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/downloads/Manual/case/Multi-GD05-Manual.pdf
