The new Pocket ExDrive USIB cradle, coupled with Pocket
ExDrive enclosure, create one of the most flexible and powerful hard drive
kits in the market. Unlike other removable drive kits in which the drive
cradle or tray is limited to IDE connection, the Pocket ExDrive USIB cradle
can be connected to any internal USB 2.0/1.1, Firewire, Serial ATA, IDE
or any future IO interface utilizing one of the Addonics USIB interface
cables.
Without any special controller, software or hardware,
you can implement hot swap removable hard drive in any Desktop system,
Servers, Kiosk or any computer equipment. In fact, you can create a storage
console bay in variety of applications and use the hard drive just like
a data cartridge without rebooting or restarting your computer.

hot swap feature works only with controllers basing on Silicon Image chip set
from our inhouse testing. Other controllers that are not Silicon Image based may
not support hot swap. You may consider adding one of the
Addonics Serial ATA host controllers to your systems to ensure the hot swap
capability. New controllers from Intel and other suppliers may finally support
this feature. Please verify with your controller manufacturer if you need to have
hot swap in your application. Hot swap is supported in Windows 2000 and XP only.
On other OS, drive can be removed without crashing system. But replacing with
a different drive can result in crashing the OS.
