SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Addonics Technologies today announced a compact storage enclosure that can be easily configured for almost every imaginable storage application, including Infiniband Multilane for external RAID, video, or network server storage.

The Addonics Mini Storage Tower is a true chameleon and perhaps the most flexible storage enclosure available. The Mini Storage Tower can store up to four standard 3 '-inch SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986.  or IDE hard drives, or up to four Addonics 2.5" Mobile Racks or Jupiter Mobile Racks. The Addonics Mobile Racks allow hard drives to be easily hot swapped. In addition, the Mini Storage Tower enclosure can be used to provide hacker-proof, key-based hardware encryption for the hard drives when it is configured with the Addonics Jupiter Cipher Mobile Rack.

Offered in white or a black-colored enclosure the Addonics Mini Storage Tower comes with a low noise cooling fan with a swing open vented front panel for easy drive access. The enclosure's side panels can be quickly removed to provide easy access for storage device installation and cable connection. The compact enclosure measures just 5.25 x 10.4 x 7.25 inches (W x D x H).

The Mini Storage Tower can be configured with a choice of four different back panels, which support multiple operating systems and drive interfaces depending on the selected panel. Available options include:

* Multilane bridge (MSTS MSTS
