Form Factor: 6U

Product Features

  • 4 easily removable latching canisters
  • SCA connector backplane offers instant connectivity
  • Occupies only 3 slots space in a 6U card cage

One Stop Systems’ SCSI hard drive shuttles hold up to four removable SCSI hard drives with SCA (Single Connector Attachment)connectors. The shuttles are easily removed with a thumb latch and handle and occupy only three slots of space in a 6U card cage. They provide an ideal storage solution for the data com/telecom applications requiring alot of hard drive capacity in a small area.

The 6U x 12 HP carrier shell houses the four latching canisters, each with mounting provisions for a 3-1/2" hard drive. Each canister contains a green LED, denoting hard drive activity. A single backplane mounts in the card cage behind the carrier shell and contains four SCA connectors which combine the 68-pin wide SCSI connector with power and ground which allows the drives to be disconnected and inserted without connecting additional lines. All SCSI signals are routed as differential pairs and matched impedance to comply with SCSI electrical standards.

Due to the physical proximity of the drives the shuttles lend themselves well to drive mirroring and RAID 5 (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) configurations with the use of a RAID controller or software controlled RAID.
