Customer Reviews

  SQA-EX  Very very easy to install. 1. Remove from packaging. 2. Connect SATA cable. 3. Connect power cable. 4. Insert hard drives into extender box. 5. Add hard drives using server console. 6. Job done ! A little expensive when compared with a SQA-5H. But it is very compact and looks great !!   

  Excellent addition  Power cable & eSata cable come in the box. Connect them all and it works right away. As easy as that. Would be nice if it had a power button, or turned off with the Squash, but that's the smallest of niggles. Great quiet unit, far better quality than some cheaper units I've seen.   Matt

  Simply excellent  Puchased as an addition to a Squah, plugged in works wonderfully, my only disappointment no ability to daisy chain multiple boxes, so only 1/squash - shame with hd prices cheap it would be a great time to add MEGA storage   Simon Walker
