One very, very small gripe is that the HGST JBODs have no power switch. You power them on and off by inserting or yanking the power cables. Not my favorite SO

  Is that a real thing? Holy cow, I'm shocked (bad pun intended). What about adding an inline switch in the cord? Unless they expect everyone to be using a managed power system where each plug can be turned on/off, this just seems very odd decision to make. <off to look up this beast>

    As someone that flipped the power switch on a rack mounted machine by accident before, I could see how a power button or switch would be consitered a liability more than a benefit, especially when the solution (pull the power cable) is simple, foolproof, and doesn't happen that often to warrant optimizing!
