The new Addonics Mobile Rack for Serial ATA hard drive is a removable hard drive kit that instantly turns any Serial ATA hard drive into a hot swap removable hard drive without any special tool or complicated cabling. This hard drive kit offers several unique features that are not found in many removable hard drive kits.

To provide efficient cooling for the high RPM Serial ATA hard drive, high air flow is forced to flow through the drive enclosure by an innovative fan system located at the bottom of the drive cradle. The drive cradle is also equipped with a unique pass through Serial ATA and power connectors that turns any internal Serial ATA port inside a computer into an external Serial ATA port. The external Serial ATA port, couples with the Addonics External Serial ATA interface cable, enable you to connect an external Serial hard drive, or any Addonics Mobile or Pocket series DVD, CDRW, DVD-RRW via the high speed Serial ATA connection, just as simple as attaching a USB storage device to a system.

 

The Serial ATA hard drive in the enclosure of this mobile rack can be used independently as an external hard drive simply by attaching the Addonics optional Serial ATA power adapter and the external Serial ATA cable, open up a flexible storage solution that you have never imagined.

To match the color of your computers, you also have a choice of black or ivory color.

* Drive access signal is from Serial ATA controller. The primary drive (usually the drive C) cannot be removed from the system.
(1) Serial ATA 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.
