Overview
The Snap-In Disk Array PRO is the latest enhanced removable drive system that enable installing as many as five 3.5" hard drives into three 5.25" drive bays on any Desktop PC, Tower or 4U Rack mount system. Constructed in light weight and precision machined aluminum, this Disk Array offers a sturdier frame, more precise mechanical fitness and better heat dissipation. similar to other Addonics Snap-In removable drive system, the hard drive can be added by simply sliding the hard drive into one of the drives slots and closing the drive door, just like using a VHS cassette. To remove the hard drive, simply open the drive door and the hard drive will automatically be ejected.
The Snap-In Disk Array PRO also increases the number of hard drives that can be installed into systems or storage chassis such as the Addonics family of Storage Towers. Together, with Addonics Port Multipliers, you can create a powerful RAID storage with large storage capacity, drive redundancy for reliability and high performance in a compact 3-bay drive enclosure like the Addonics Storage Tower III.

Features
*While the Snap-In Disk Array is capable of fitting into three 5 1/4" drive bay stack on a desktop tower, support tabs inside the drive bay on some of the computer chassis may cause possible obstruction for the installation of the Snap-In Disk Array. Most of these tabs can be bent to clear the obstruction.
(1) SATA hot swap feature works only with controllers that supports this feature. You may consider adding one of the Addonics SATA host controllers to your systems to ensure the hot swap capability. New controllers from Intel and other suppliers may finally support this feature. Please verify with your controller manufacturer if you need to have hot swap in your application. Without hot swap support, drive can be removed without crashing the system. But replacing with a different drive can result in crashing the OS.
