| Mass-Storage 8x Features:
|
 |
| Compact drive storage system holds up to eight 3.5"
hard drives. Easy way to add large amounts of storage to your media system.
Multiple cases can be stacked on top of each other for more capacity as your
media collection grows. An optional 3U (5.25")
one-piece rack mount faceplate is available for mounting into standard 19"
racks.
|
 |
| Passive cooling design transfers heat into
massive thick-walled outer case.
The thick aluminum used on all panels provides a "highway" for
effective heat transfer to the entire case. |
| Rear panel features two baffled air inlets to allow air to flow in freely
while blocking sound waves from escaping. A standard ATX power supply is
mounted in the center of the case. The power supply fan is the only fan used
for added cooling. Two SCSI-1/Centronics sized port openings on either side
of the power supply allow a variety of drive connection options. |

| With the top panel removed, the drives can be seen inside. Drive orientation
was optimized for the most effective heat transfer and air flow. Each module
floats on special isolation pads designed to completely eliminate vibration
from being transfer to the outer case.

|
| Air inlets are designed for laminar flow over all the drives for very
effective cooling. The inner drive modules are held very close to the outer case
shell suspended only by the isolation pads. With the opposing plates right next to each other, heat is
transmitted by radiation to the outer shell without any mechanical
contact. |

The inner drive module floats on isolation pads to dampen vibrations from the
drives.
The isolation pads are contained within pockets machined into the top and
bottom panels. The small pads dampen vibrations from being transmitted. With isolation pads
on both sides of the chassis, the heavy assembly can float within the outer
case.
|
Extremely durable pads are specially designed for
this application. The size and firmness are finely tuned to the weight of
the drive module. The animated picture above shows how the material
swallows up the screwdriver blade, yet returns to its normal state
immediately with no compression set. This ensures the pad will not lose its
shape and effectiveness over time. |
