Meet the DataPort 25 6G Frame, a palm-sized, heavy-duty solution designed for rugged storage in tight spaces. This small-form-factor removable-drive enclosure lets you host one or two 2.5" HDDs and removes them easily from any standard 3.5" floppy drive bay. Built with stainless steel for durability, the DataPort 25 is ideal for environments where space is at a premium yet data storage needs are high. With dual-drive capability, it increases storage capacity and provides flexible options for data management in compact systems.

  • Ultra-compact, rugged design: Palm-sized, heavy-duty stainless steel construction delivers dependable performance in field, workshop, or data-center environments where durability matters most.
  • Dual-drive flexibility: Supports one or two 2.5" HDDs or SSDs, enabling scalable storage configurations and potential RAID-like setups for redundancy or performance gains.
  • Space-saving 3.5" bay compatibility: Removable from any standard 3.5" floppy drive bay, making it the perfect fit for small form factor systems where every inch counts.
  • High-speed data transfer: Built around a 6G frame (SATA 6Gb/s) interface to deliver fast data access and transfer rates for demanding workloads.
  • Rugged, reliable performance in SFF systems: Specifically designed to optimize storage density in small form factor configurations without sacrificing durability or ease of maintenance.

how to install cru-small-form-factor-removable-drive-enclosure

  • Step 1: Power down the computer and unplug all cables to ensure safe installation.
  • Step 2: Remove the front 3.5" drive bay cover or bracket from the chassis to reveal the 3.5" slot where the DataPort 25 will reside.
  • Step 3: Insert the DataPort 25 6G Frame into the 3.5" bay, aligning it with the chassis mounting points.
  • Step 4: Attach the SATA data and power connections from the motherboard and power supply to the DataPort 25 frame as required by your system configuration.
  • Step 5: Prepare your 2.5" drives by placing them in their removable caddies. Insert one or two drives into the caddies as supported by your setup.
  • Step 6: Slide the caddies with the drives into the DataPort 25 frame until they lock into place. If you are using two drives, ensure both caddies are fully seated and secured.
  • Step 7: Replace the front drive bay cover or bracket, reconnect power, and power on the system. Initialize and format the drives in your operating system if required.
  • Step 8: In your OS, configure any desired storage arrangements, such as RAID-like setups, software RAID, or simple independent volumes depending on your needs.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What drives are supported? A: The enclosure supports one or two 2.5" SATA HDDs or SSDs. Always verify drive compatibility with your specific SKU before purchase.
  • Q: Is the DataPort 25 hot-swappable? A: The design facilitates easy drive removal via removable caddies while the enclosure remains installed; for safety, power down before removing drives unless your system explicitly supports hot-swapping in this configuration.
  • Q: Will it fit in my desktop or server chassis? A: Yes, it is designed to fit into standard 3.5" floppy drive bays, which are common in many desktops and servers, especially in small form factor builds where space is tight.
  • Q: How do I manage storage performance? A: With SATA 6Gb/s interface, you can achieve high data transfer rates suitable for demanding applications. For optimal performance, pair with compatible SATA drives and ensure proper cooling and airflow in your chassis.
  • Q: Are there any maintenance considerations? A: Regularly inspect the stainless steel frame for signs of wear, ensure caddies are locked securely, and keep the bay area clean to prevent debris from interfering with drive removal or connection.
