CRU-DataPort Debuts Space-Saving Removable Drive Enclosures; New Low Profile and Small Form Factor DataPorts Ideal For Applications Where Space Is Limited.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. Conference San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden 2004 Booth #1117 VANCOUVER, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 23, 2004 While space has become a premium in ever-shrinking computers and related equipment, technology users continue to demand increased functionality from their systems. CRU-DataPort's(TM) new small form factor DataPort 25 and low profile DataPort LP removable hard drive enclosures are the perfect solution for applications where space is limited yet performance is essential. CRU's small form factor DataPort 25 is a removable drive (1) A device that spins, reads and writes an optical disc, hard magnetic disk or floppy (magnetic) disk, which is inserted into the unit by means of a drive tray or cartridge slot. Examples of removable drive media are CDs, DVDs, REV disks and Zip disks. See removable disk. enclosure that houses up to two 2.5-inch low-profile IDE drives while occupying a standard 3.5-inch floppy drive bay. Its unique design allows you to either double storage capacity with striping Interleaving or multiplexing data to increase speed. See disk striping. striping - data striping or increase fault tolerance with RAID 1 Mirroring. Constructed of heavy-duty stainless steel stainless steel: see steel. stainless steel Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. to withstand rugged applications, the space-saving enclosure features a dual-interface receiving frame that supports either IDE or Serial ATA (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. ) interfaces and a hideaway push-button (electronics) push-button - A roughly fingertip-sized plastic cover attached to a spring-loaded, normally-open switch, which, when pressed, closes the switch. Typical examples are the keys on a computer or calculator keyboard and mouse buttons. eject mechanism for easy removal. The product is ideal for military use, test measurement, custom chassis, and other applications where space is limited. The low profile DataPort LP makes any standard 3.5-inch low profile IDE hard drive removable yet requires only a small amount of added space. Perfect for 1U or 2U rackmount chassis and custom multi-drive applications, the enclosure was designed to minimize the required outer dimensions of removable hard drive housings while remaining durable and supporting the latest interface standards. The CE Certified low profile DataPort LP can be installed either vertically or horizontally and is made of extruded aluminum for light weight and strength. "The rugged design and cooling features of DataPort hard drive carriers make them the safest way to remove, transport and re-use drives frequently," said Jon Johnson, director of sales and marketing for CRU-DataPort. "The new DataPort 25 continues that trend but in a much smaller and more flexible enclosure, suitable for mobile chassis like the ones used in police, military and forensics See computer forensics. systems. "The new low profile DataPort LP also addresses space-constrained data environments and it's all-extruded aluminum design makes it the sturdiest, yet affordable low profile removable for 3.5" disk drives."
