DAT Optic Inc.'s eBOX-F is one of the latest series of Eight 3.5" IDE drive FireWire 800 (1394b) metal enclosure, which can be program into a RAID 0, RAID 1(4 drives only) or JBOD mode, the whole enclosure measure as: 5.25" (W), 13.40" (H) and 13.40" (D), one of the smallest enclosure for Eight hard drives.
The eBOX-F has a built-in high-performance FireWire 800 (1394b) bridge board with 1394 payload of 4096 instead of 2048, and support 48-bit sector addressing (138GB+ HDD). With such specifications there are no HDD size restriction limitations.
Any Eight 3.5" HDD (no size limitation) devices can be easily, quickly and reliably converted to plug-and-play high speed FireWire 800/1394b, up to 800Mb/s.
Note: (*) requires SATA to IDE converter
Note: Due to limitation 32bit OS some systems may not access beyond 2.0TB volume
Quiet is the main design factor of our engineering team, and the eBOX-F intakes cool air from the front and forward left and right panels. This intake of cool air will be funnelled to the back of this enclosure where the 12cm exhaust fan will push this hot air to the out side, which creates a high thermal exchange ratio bettwen cool air and the HDDs. Thank to the BIG 12 cm fan, the same high amount of CFM is being pushed out the chassis but without noise being created.
With our specially designed leveler, any EIGHT 3.5" HDD (no size limitation) devices can be easily, quickly and reliably converted to plug-and-play without resources to conventional HDD tray. This feature allows end users to replace HDD within seconds and without tools.
Our eBOX-F offers a unique opportunity for OEM or ODM to continue to take advantage of the low cost IDE/SATAI/II HDD while presenting high performance (480mbps transfer rate), hot plug-able devices into the brand new and expanding FireWire of MAC and Window market.
How to get around the 2.0TB volume limitation
Configuration of RAID 0, RAID 1(4 drives only) or JBOD can easily program to our firmware uploader (included in CD-ROM)
