The Ruby Mobile Rack (RMR) is designed to enable any SATA hard drive to be use as a removable hard drive via Ruby IDE or SCSI drive cradle installed inside the standard 3 1/2" drive bay of a computer. Constructed in anodized aluminum with precision finish for smooth operation, the Ruby MR is built to last while at the same time providing excellent heat dissipation for the hard drive.
The Ruby enclosure, small enough to fit easily in the palm of your hand, is designed to handle shocks and perform reliable in mobile application or rough environment with a patented shock proof rugged anodized aluminum housing. The Ruby drive enclosure comes with both an eSATA and SATA connector. The eSATA connector allows the Ruby drive enclosure to be used as an external eSATA hard drive using a standard eSATA cable and an optional power adapter. The SATA connector allows the Ruby drive enclosure to be used as a removable cartridge in the Ruby drive cradle installed inside the 3 1/2" drive bay of any computer. The Ruby drive enclosure can also be attached to the USB port of any computer with an optional USB 3.0 - eSATA adapter.
Coming built in with the Addonics SATA direct bridge interface, the Ruby drive enclosure allows the SATA hard drive to appear as a direct connection to the host both in eSATA mode or SATA mode while at the same time isolating the SATA hard drive power and data connectors from the wears and tears incurred in some of the removable SATA hard drive system
