ReadyNV: Can´t get out the Tray...

I don't think you will have any problems. Part of the problem in the older design was the horizontal motion of the push button had to be turned into vertical motion to release the latch. With the new design, all motion is vertical so you don't have that change in direction of the force.

This bit tells me i don't have to worry about this issue, my cages open on a downward push, so they should be the new and "improved" design. Thank you for that.

When I got my new NVX with the newer trays, I considered upgrading my NV+ that had the older trays (4 year old Infrant NV+), but decided the $100 was better served elsewhere. Interestingly, I have not had any of my older trays hang up in the last two years, I guess because I have opened them more often with disk upgrades.

From working with "pro" equipment i can tell you this is exactly the reason your not having problems. Al along, the trouble was dust-buildup, and as long as you open and close the latch fairly regular it's not going to be an issue. However, i see in the thread that earlier suggestions to "fix" the issue has been to add some lubricant. Sure, this will fix the issue right there and then, just as cleaning the latch alone would have. but a lubricated surface is a wet surface, and dust sticks faster to a wet surface... Short story, i wouldn't lube a latch, even if i was a candidate to have this issue. I'd rather bring some compressed air on a can and blow it clean when the time comes to open a (stuck) latch.

Anyway, it's good to know there was a solution with new drive cages, eliminating the issue.
B!
