Heavy-duty

Ensuring the safety of your valuable data is the foundation to any good system build or design. The MB998SK-B is capable of holding up to the most demanding environments with its rugged heavy duty full metal construction in the entirety of the body and its smaller components. The ToughArmor's rugged full metal design is also perfect for industrial and medical devices that may require a flammability rating as the full metal material is considered to be already compliant with flammability requirements. An all metal design also dissipates heat from the hard drives to the backplane cage resulting in cooler drives. Lastly Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) and EMI grounding are used to ensure a stable environment for the hard drives or SSD's used dramatically improving reliability.

The ToughArmor MB998SK-B tray systems uses an individual key lock mechanism for each tray locking it in place and protecting against accidental ejection or malicious activity. This is useful in high-security zones where additional physical security is required or in on-the-go environments such as in-vehicle PCs and mobile workstations.

Bringing more utility your hard drives or SSDs LED's are installed into the front of the mobile rack to provide individual drive status information at all times. Active Power Technology (APT) allows each LED and the cooling fan to be active only when a hard drive is inserted into the enclosure. When the unit does power up two 40mm cooling fan placed strategically behind the rear panel provide airflow throughout the entire cage cooling all 8 bays effectively and efficiently.

Never forget which drives belong in what bays. With our individual drive ID labels you'll always know which drive tray belongs in your RAID array or which drive contains certain files.
