The StorCase Technology
Data Express
®
Ultra320 DE100
is composed of a receiving frame
which supports SCSI Ultra320 interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot. This
16-bit single-connect I/O can support up to 320MByte/sec transfer rates. The receiving frame
contains one (1) removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting
for one (1) 3.5" form factor Single Connector Attachment (SCA) SCSI drive (Figure 2).
A field-replaceable fan in the front of the drive carrier provides enhanced heat dissipation (3.5
CFM). Refer to Appendix C for further information.
The Ultra320 DE100 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another Ultra320 DE100-
equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data
by removing and storing the drive safely for future use. Up to fifteen (15) Ultra320 DE100 units
can be attached to one host adapter.
