The brand name is placed on both sides of the enclosure.

Taking a look at the front we see a plastic door and the control panel.

Here we see the on/off button, Activity/Status LEDs, RAID mode control button and the fan speed control button (there’s also a long blue/red LED HDD activity stripe that starts from the power button).

A small round lock is placed at the front of the door.

Right beneath the door we see a small sticker with the RAID word on it (although not really needed).

Opening the door reveals two aluminum covers (one for each cage) which are kept in place with fixed thumbscrews.

Each drive bay has an activity LED right next to it.

The brackets for the drives are mounted at the front as you can see from the above picture.

Unfortunately we don't have eight 3.5" to use the enclosure with (not identical anyways) but our 6 Seagate Constellation ES.3 4TB SATA III drives should do the trick.
