  • Lian LI X2000F Backplane SAS Support?

    Well, the tittle says it all. I just purchased an X2000F. (This model: Lian-Li Global | PC-X2000F) On the website it says 7 SAS Hotswap. Is this correct. Will these backplanes support SAS drives?

    Well I got my X2000F. The backplanes are indeed SAS/SATA not just SATA. However, I have a problem. My 15k RPM SAS drives hum like crazy when installed. I don't have a problem with noise coming my pc, but I don't like this humming noise. I am not sure how to fix this.

    Also, I have been searching in vain for a windowed side panel. Looks like the X2000F is list as end of sale on Lian Li's site, so I may be out of luck.

      I had so many issues using the hot swap bays I moved all the drives up top. I use an external drive for backup now instead, and a lot less noise too.

      For the windowed side, I got a panel from NCIX. Don't know if they can still get them, but might be worth asking. I swapped out the plastic window it came with for real glass mounted on the inside that is tinted slightly. Looks great now imho, should have been the way the windowed side came! :)
