Default Re: M4100 Drive Trays

No thermal advantage since most all of the drive is exposed. The sloted ends mates up to the ear sticking up on the chassis. Mine has some sound deadning material on the chassis, I think. Don't believe it's on the sleds. Where the locking nut is for the sled.

Making it out of al would work, but... would bend real easy. I would use steel, if you have it. Now these are not removed very often. Unless you use it as a test machine like mine. The steel looks to be ~16ga.
