DCmini Cartridge

Thank you for purchasing CRU’s DataExpress 115 (DX115) DC mini enclosure. 

The  CRU  DCmini  hard  drive  enclosure  is  designed  specifically  for  the 

distribution of Digital Cinema media on 2.5” drives. The aluminum external 
drive enclosure can connect to servers via a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 interface 
without the need of a CRU MoveDock or other external docking station. The 
DCmini is bus-powered on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 hosts. An optional split host 
connection cable is available for older USB 2.0 servers without adequate 
power available on a single USB 2.0 port. The external device can be docked 
using a DCmini adapter (accessory sold separately) with the existing CRU 
DX115 DC frame in servers, ingestion racks via standard high-speed SATA 
connection.
