drive packs
posted by  on Sept. 3, 2015, 6:35 p.m.
Hi folks, My google-fu is failing me: maybe 2 or 3 years ago I saw a product at NAB that was a 2U or 3U drive docking solution. There were 4 docks (iirc) and each one held an 8-pack (or 6-pack?) of 2.5 drives. The enclosure of these drive-packs was really just some sheet metal with a handle, holding the drives in the correct spacing. Youd shove the brick into the dock, and then presto, those 8 drives presented themselves (as a RAID volume, I presume, but dont really know). Overall the setup was pretty compact, actually. Anyway, I couldnt find anything like this any more. Maybe theyre gone now, ahead of their time back then. At the time I wasnt really looking out for anything like this. Now Im looking for some kind of multi-drive brick+docking solution, and of course I cannot find it or remember the name, and frankly my recollection of the details of that product are pretty hazy. Does this ring any bells? Thanks in advance, Antoine To unsubscribe from the list send a blank e-mail to mailto:studiosysadmins-discuss-request@studiosysadmins.com?subject=unsubscribe
