Is there a U-channel (sometimes called a C-channel) protecting the drive screw?

The U channel does not protect the screw drive from below, it is open for viewing from below

On 2 of the u bolts i put tamper proof nuts...you can get them at a local hardware store..just bring u bolt to match thread size...but i can tell you it takes alot to get this off. Even without any security

There are "Y" cables available through VLEDS and other places. Possibly on Feebay. If you can solder and heatshrink, you can save there too.

What are you asking about? I don;t think mine has a drive socket, but I am not sure.

Standard will work. I put a dead drive in the case to mount the drive cover. Drive needs to be in case for you to be able to use the cover.

No it is a ZIF drive see this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_insertion_force#Hard_disk_drives Hope this helps.

Like cables or screws? No, just the bare drive, but I was replacing a failed drive and just used all the old items.

I think its pretty much compattible with all types that use this screw drive but the manufacturer would be best tp ask - they have a website you can go to.

My Sabrent enclosure is different from your choise. My enclosure contains four small screws that are easy to open and close. It is a little time consuming if you intend to use several 2.5-inch HDDs and replacing them frequently.

NO, it simply means that it is an internal (chassis-less drive) no worries, none of your bits will fall out.

I have found most standard bits fit the Channellock screwdriver. Just try some of the others you have in your toolbox or that which came with a drill/driver set to see.

Tona Plue, We believe what you are describing are tool-free mounting clips for the drives. To make certain that drives are adequately secured for shipping, we do use screws when installing them, instead of the mounting clips. We include them in the hardware packet you received, so that if you wish to switch to them, you may.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe the LED can be dismounted from the clear piece of plastic that runs through the middle of the drive. That would stop the LED from shining through that strip. I'm not sure if you can disconnect the LED completely, but I would start with just removing it from the plastic piece in the middle.

If we are talking about the CN15, there is no need for torx screws as any small sized phillips head screwdriver will do for getting the bottom panel off. At least on my CN15-A5. Of course I got the notebook used so it's possible somebody swapped out the panel screws. For the fan noise, I have set a personal power options profile using balanced with only 90% CPU power from the advanced options and that has kept the noise at a minimum for mundane tasks such as internet and other basic tasks.

This question can't be answered because it is too generic. In other words, it all comes down to what type of case or hot swap system you are using as there are different ways and methods of sliding and locking it the drives depending upon the manufacturer. You will just have to roll up your sleeps and do the research for yourself.

We are not a manufacturer. We are replacing an old drive that went bad in one of our servers. I hope that answers your question.
