Kaze Server 3.5" ??

Does anyone know if Scythe is working on a 3.5" version of the Kaze Server controller as it has done for the Kaze Master Ace?

Hi Matt_Rapp,

We are indeed working on a 3.5" version. There was actually a sample on display this March on CeBIT 2009. Not sure if I can locate an image, but you can guess it has only 2 fan support and the usual features of Kaze Server =)

Cheers,
Andy

That's great, keep up the good work! Any hints as to when we can see this product out?

I found this site which has pictures from CeBIT 2009, including the 3.5" Server model.

There was also a pic of a 6 channel prototype Kaze Master, whats the story there?

The unit looks pretty polished, is it still only a prototype? I like that there are still knobs for each channel and the only thing you have to flip through when using the controller is the display.

I'd probably buy a 6 channel Kaze Master unit over a 4 channel Kaze Server, but if Scythe made a 6 channel server model with automatic adjustments there would be no contest. It may be hard to squeeze everything in there, but I think such a product would be the best fan controller around by far. Of course a 8 channel unit that still has the same type of set up with RPM, Temp and auto adjust would be even better, but that seems rather like a pie-in-the-sky.

I am not quiet sure when the small Kaze Server will arrive here, I think it will take 3 months at least still.

The Kaze Master 6 Channel was a prototype and I am not sure if and when it might be for sale. So far, my guess is that it might not make it to the market =P

6 Channel Kaze Server could be an easier task there, chip is different and control is different too. So that might be even earlier on the market then the Kaze Master 6 Channel =P

Sweet, I can't wait!
