The StorCase Technology Data Express
®
Ultra320 DE200 is composed of a receiving frame
which supports SCSI Ultra320 interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot
(Figure 2). This 16-bit 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 SCSI Wide, Wide Ultra, Wide Ultra2, Wide Ultra160, or Wide Ultra320
drive.
The Ultra320 DE200 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another Ultra320 DE200-
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 DE200 units
can be attached to one host adapter.
The DE200 was specifically designed for use in high shock and vibration environments (e.g.
aircraft) which may also have non-PVC material requirements. The DE200 is equipped with
manual lockdown thumbscrews to secure the drive carrier within the receiving frame.
