The drive sleds are easy to insert and remove but to remove the drive itself from the sled for replacement you have to remove screws. At least that was my experience. I remember typically 4 easily accessible screws though, not really as big a deal as the article makes out.

You're correct, OEM hot swap trays are only tool-less once it's screwed into the tray (Though the OEMs do tend to ship most drives preinstalled to their trays). The OCP stuff is designed to drop the bare drive into the JBOD/Server.
