Octane HD sleds = break easy

Octane HD sleds = break easy
PThe hard drive in the scsi ID slot 0 (bottom) seemed a lot tighter than the two drives above.  Even though I have changed the bottom drive a few times in the last week, today the drive removal took some force.   In short the drive sled literally decintigrated in my hands.  I had to reach back inside and pull the drive out by the back.

Anyone else notice how brittle these drive sleds are?

Thank god I had a spare in one of my storage bins.

I’m considering putting some vasaleen on the sleds to lubricate them.
