Onnto introduced the O'TOSTORE SATAPro range of HDD
enclosures. SATA, due to its unbridled data transfer speed has long been prized
as the ultimate HDD interface choice. SATAPro HDD enclosures allow a SATA HDD to
be used in an external storage solution for the first time. The advent of the
eSATA shielded cable and connector, mandated by the SATA II standard, brings the
speed of SATA to appropriately equipped systems and offers unsurpassed
flexibility with SATA to USB2.0, FireWire400 or Firewire800 conversion, enabling
use of SATAPro HDD enclosures with systems, which do not provide an eSATA port.
Whether using the SATA, USB2.0, FireWire 400 or FireWire 800
interface, data is transferred at a fast speed.
Features
-
The hybrid TB-M12O 3.5-inch SATA to eSATA/USB2.0/FireWire800
HDD enclosure offers the convenience of multiple data transfer interfaces
and additionally provides an eSATA connector and a shielded external SATA
cable for enabling high speed SATA data transfer between the TB-M12O
enclosure and a desktop computer that supports SATA. The TB-M12O further
enhances flexibility with the bundled six-pin to nine-pin FireWire cable and
USB2.0 cable for connecting the TB-M12O to the FireWire 400 or USB2.0 port
of any notebook or desktop computer. -
The ST-EKB2 SATA-eSATA extension cable with bracket is an
optional solution for users who wish to use the ST-M10 or TB-M12O with a
mainboard equipped with a SATA II connector but no eSATA port. -
The TB-S12O 2.5-inch SATA to USB2.0/FireWire/FireWire800 HDD
enclosure overcomes the lack of SATA II (eSATA) interface port support in
current notebook configurations and most desktop models, which prevents
connection of a SATA HDD via an eSATA port. The
TB-S12O converts any 2.5-inch SATA HDD into a stylish, durable USB2.0,
FireWire 400, or FireWire 800 combo enclosure, allowing you to access your
SATA HDD through the popular USB or FireWire interfaces available in most
computers. Like the TB-M12O, the TB-S12O also provides FireWire repeater
functionality. -
The ST-M10 3.5-inch SATA to eSATA HDD enclosure offers
capacity for a serial ATA hard drive and the convenience of an eSATA
connector. This drive provides the same great features of our other SATAPro
models with the simplicity of a single eSATA port. System administrators
will appreciate hot-swap support, which allows rapid HDD exchange without
powering down the ST-M10 or the host.
As with all O'TSTORE enclosures, every SATAPro family model
offers protection for your hard drive with a rugged, thermally efficient,
aluminum housing. The heat-dissipating properties of aluminum protect your data
by maintaining the optimum temperature for HDD operation. The hard drive is
further protected by O'TOSTORE's advanced Stable Mounting System technology
creates an anti-shock chamber for your HDD by combining internal shock
absorbers, reverse-c mounts, and self-aligning guide rails together with the
proven impact resistance of aluminum. The Stable Mounting System protects your
hardware investment against impact damage, accidental drops and bumps and even
maintains HDD stability if the enclosure flips over or encounters violent
motion.
