Addonics Mini Storage Tower Lets You Mix, Match 3.5” and 2.5” Hard Drives

¶ — Support for Infiniband Multilane, Multiple Operating Systems and Interfaces

SAN JOSE, Calif. –(Business Wire)– Nov. 8, 2006 Addonics Technologies today announced a compact storage enclosure that can be easily configured for almost every imaginable storage application, including Infiniband Multilane for external RAID, video, or network server storage.

The Addonics Mini Storage Tower is a true chameleon and perhaps the most flexible storage enclosure available. The Mini Storage Tower can store up to four standard 3 1/2-inch SATA or IDE hard drives, or up to four Addonics 2.5″ Mobile Racks or Jupiter Mobile Racks. The Addonics Mobile Racks allow hard drives to be easily hot swapped. In addition, the Mini Storage Tower enclosure can be used to provide hacker-proof, key-based hardware encryption for the hard drives when it is configured with the Addonics Jupiter Cipher Mobile Rack.

Offered in white or a black-colored enclosure the Addonics Mini Storage Tower comes with a low noise cooling fan with a swing open vented front panel for easy drive access. The enclosure’s side panels can be quickly removed to provide easy access for storage device installation and cable connection. The compact enclosure measures just 5.25 x 10.4 x 7.25 inches (W x D x H).

The Mini Storage Tower can be configured with a choice of four different back panels, which support multiple operating systems and drive interfaces depending on the selected panel. Available options include:

– Multilane bridge (MSTS4AML) — for connecting up to four SATA/SATA II hard drives to system via one 1.5 Meter long Infiniband Multilane cable. Multilane supports Windows, Linux or Mac OS.

– SATA Port Multiplier (MST5X1PM) — for connecting up to four SATA/SATA II hard drives to the computer via a single eSATA port.

– JBOD USB (MST4IDEU2) — to connect up to four IDE hard drives as one large combined drive, two combined drives, or four individual drives to computer via 1 USB 2.0/1.1 port.

– Four Individual eSATA ports (MST4ESA) — for connecting four hard drives to the enclosure via four individual eSATA cables.
