Overview
The SuperSwap 1600 drive enclosure installs easily into a 5.25-inch component
bay in your personal computer or workstation. The SuperSwap 1600 drive carrier
and enclosure enable you to add a 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch form factor Serial ATA
(SATA) disk drive or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disk drive to your system.
SuperSwap 1600 also allows you to easily swap your disk drives in and out of
your computer, without the hassle of opening and closing your computer cabinet.

SuperSwap 1600 accepts only Serial ATA and SAS disk drives. It does not
support (Parallel) ATA or SCSI disk drives.
When used with Promise Technology Serial ATA RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10 products,
such as the FastTrak SX4300, SuperSwap 1600 allows you to hot-swap a failed
drive without powering down the system while fully protecting disk drive and
internal system components.
