Sonnet SATA enclosure
Sonnet today announced Fusion R400Q, the latest addition to its line of Serial ATA drive enclosures. The 13.5-inch deep 4-bay rack mount drive enclosure provides four interface choices which include FireWire 400, FireWire 800, USB 2.0, and SATA II. An integrated port multiplier supports up to four hard drives through any connection, and the Fusion R400Q's hot-swappable 3.5-inch drives trays enable quick addition as well as swapping of storage. Users can install a single drive to start, add drives as needed, and purchase additional trays as well as drives to build a backup archive. The enclosure is shallow enough for use in the shortest portable racks, and its 1U height takes up the minimum amount of rack space. The Fusion R400Q includes drive mounting hardware for each of its four included trays, as well as a cable for each interface. The trays are interchangeable with Sonnet's Fusion 400 and Fusion 500P desktop SATA drive enclosures. Sonnet will ship the new enclosure in March for $700. [corrected]
