These 4-Drive/3-Bay PATA-to-PATA Drive Cages are ideal for reliable Hot-Swap Applications or RAID Subsystems. These units feature reliability and ease of use. Each canister supports 4 PATA Hard Drives but only uses 3 Bays in your Server or Workstation chassis! Each unit easily connects to an PATA RAID Controller to provide optimum fault-tolerant storage protection.
PATA-to-PATA Drive Cages are drive expansion bays. Designed for applications requiring the high performance Ultra DMA drive interface, they accommodate four 3.5" Ultra DMA drive trays within the space of three full height 5.25 inch drive bays. For improved reliability, PATA-to-PATA Drive Cages come with a built-in backplane to accommodate power and drive signal distribution. PATA-to-PATA 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 PATA-to-PATA Drive Cages now come in your choice of beige or black, allowing you to order the drive cage that matches your server's case color the best.
Ultra DMA drives are used in cost-effective fault-tolerant storage solutions and servers. However, unlike SCSI which is designed for greater number of drives per device channel and longer cabling distances, Ultra DMA's limited cabling length creates a challenge when integrating Ultra DMA RAID solutions. The four drive trays in this compact form-factor make PATA-to-PATA Drive Cages the ultimate packing solution for full-featured storage solutions.
These 4-Drive/3-Bay PATA-to-PATA Drive Cages comes with two fans that create an environment to keep the drives properly cooled. Flexible in configuration, each of the 4 Ultra DMA drive ports in the canisters can be configured as either a master or slave device. 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.
