The LEDs are actually a long plastic rod propagating light from a LED set the rack from the bottom.
(For economic reasons no doubt, rather than incorporating a circuit in each tray, making them that would have made it vulnerable)
The hotswap is enabled in the BIOS (if it supports it), for each SATA port.
Aside from this, I have only one thing to regret: a single molex to power four discs ... (it will favor the shower room for lower consumption)
But it's very good product and I recommend it.
In addition it throws :)
