Hi Larry,
Thanks for posting about the fan. I think the spec's on the web are probably incorrect as I got the following in an email from Weibetech:
But thanks for the heads up. I postponed placing an order until I get a confirmation on the fan.
I just got the following via email:
Sorry for the confusion. No fan. I opened one up to be sure. There is no place on the back to vent one out. The specs are wrong and I have alerted our webmaster. Thank you for your diligence!
When I questioned him, about the exact differences between the standard model and the "All Metal Bay" model he said one difference is that the "All Metal Bay" has some rubber cushioning between the drive and the case and the door is metal. This implies that the RTX100-Q doesn't have the shock-absorbing bay but only the RTX100H-Q.
I just ordered a U-matic video cassette case (obsolete format) that I think will fit a drive plus tray. The inside dimensions are just a fraction of an inch under 9 1/2" x 6 1/2" by 1 1/4" with two hubs. If anyone is interested I will post back how it works.
Thanks Again,
Mitch

If you have a Mac that can connect via eSATA, look at the RTX-SJ. It does not have a fan.
