These 3-Drive/2-Bay SATA-to-SATA Drive Cages are ideal for reliable Hot-Swap Applications or RAID Subsystems. These units feature reliability and ease of use. Each canister supports 3 SATA Hard Drives but only uses 2 Bays in your Server or Workstation chassis! Each unit easily connects to an SATA RAID Controller to provide optimum fault-tolerant storage protection.
SATA-to-SATA Drive Cages are drive expansion bays. Designed for applications requiring the high performance SATA drive interface, they accommodate three 3.5" SATA drive trays within the space of two full height 5.25 inch drive bays. For improved reliability, SATA-to-SATA Drive Cages come with a built-in backplane to accommodate power and drive signal distribution. SATA-to-SATA Drive Cages are ideal for installation in servers, industrial PC and rack-mountable systems, places where drive capacity exceeds drive bay availability. Dynamic Network Factory's SATA-to-SATA Drive Cages come in your choice of beige or black, allowing you to order the drive cage that matches your server's case color the best.
SATA drives are used in cost-effective fault-tolerant storage solutions and servers. The four drive trays in this compact form-factor make SATA-to-SATA Drive Cages the ultimate packing solution for full-featured storage solutions. SATA's point-to-point signaling provides full bandwidth to each connected device, hot plug capability, smaller connectors, standardized connector placement and layout, simpler cabling and longer cable lengths. The cost advantages and performance of SATA can make it a compelling alternative to other technologies.
These 3-Drive/2-Bay SATA-to-SATA Drive Cages comes with three fans that create an environment to keep the drives properly cooled. The front panel door contains LED indicators to provide real-time drive activity and status plus individually lockable drive trays provide an extra layer of data security.
