I'd love that to be the case but the units arrive fully integrated. We don't open them up (normally). Artecon uses fairly cheesy power supplies too.

They do however have a feature that seems to be somewhat rare among hardware RAID products; an honest to goodness usable serial console interface. /* Matthew N.
