Trayless is nice. All the sleds mostly use *different* screws. The ones that drive me crazy are the Penguin boxes we have, that use screws no one else uses... *and* we have a good number that came with only one or

It has been a while since I used Penguins, but as I recall they used to ship a bag of those screws with every unit, so if you don't have them it may be because you threw them out. And they put working carriers in
Don't look at me, they've were here when I started. And the other admin I work with claims they came without. I dunno, maybe the guy I replaced, or the one he replaced....
the bays. The ones that irritate me are the IBMs and Dells that ship dummy carriers that take just as much material in the empty bays and charge a bundle for working ones if you add drives later.
Oh, that silliness. What I dislike are the PERC 700s, that will *only* accept Dell drives, not commodity ones.
