Innovative functionality
It has space saving features that converts 3 x 5.25″ slots into 4 x 3.5″ bays allowing greater storage density by utilizing unused space. This can be imperative for power users that demand ample storage capacity in their systems. Each bay allows for any type of 3.5″ drive whether it’s SATA, SAS, or IDE interface. It is also compatible with our 2.5″ to 3.5″ SSD / HDD converter – the EZConvert series, so you can mount a 2.5″ drive as well, or if you would like to mount two 2.5″ drives in a single bay, you can utilize our EZ-Fit series SSD / HDD bracket to incorporate more storage density.
Full front access allows users to install and remove drives, without having to remove the entire cage. Additionally, you can replace drives without disassembling your computer chassis.
Installation is easy due to our EZ-Grip handles. Installing these to your HDD requires two screws. Use these to slide your drives into our cage and lock the switch. The firm designed locking mechanism to mount your drives so once they’re locked in place, they’re not going anywhere.
Handles are also compatible with company’s portable docks and HDD adapters such as the EZ-Dock Series and EZ-Adapter. You can remove drive and insert them into our docking stations without removing the handles. This is useful when transfer data in between systems.
Cooling
The product gets its name from the 120mm fan integrated in the unit, which allows it to cool not just the drives, but the entire system. The fan pulls cool air from outside the system resulting in a lower overall temperature which may increase performance. Placed in front of the Black Vortex, having multiple units allows for greater system cooling along with storage space.
