We chose this mostly for footprint size. They are 6" by 6" square. They're pretty light as wel though. 7.5 lbs each.
A whole drive base, including fame but no electronics weighs 37 lbs.

All of the drive gearing is in the lower box chain to save space on top.
There's a picture of the frame as it was weighed.
