Storage Tower with 4 USIB ports
Include power cord, user guide

The Storage Tower is another innovative storage enclosure solution from Addonics that offers tremendous customization flexibility that you can ever imagine. Comes with 4 standard 5 1/4" drive bays, a strong power supply and in a compact footprint, the Storage Tower can accommodate up to 4 full height optical drives or 5 3.5" hard drives; or a combination of these devices in various mixes. With choice of back panels featuring eSATA, USIB connectors or both, various IDE, ATAPI or SATA devices installed into the Storage Tower can be individually interfaced to computers via USB 2.0, Firewire or eSATA connection for a wide range of storage applications.
 
Using the back panel with eSATA connectors, you can build yourself a high performance (up to 3 Gbits/sec using SATA II) external storage system or a terabyte storage farm, with simple inexpensive eSATA cable and up to 6 feet distance from the computer system! Any SATA devices inside the Storage Tower can be easily converted into eSATA (the latest external SATA standard). Each drive can be connected directly to a eSATA host controller for maximum throughput in any system. With Addonics USIB interface on the back panel, any IDE device in the Storage Tower can be converted into USB 2.0 or Firewire connection by attaching the Addonics optional USIB interface cables.

Note
The compatibility of ATAPI DVD+/-RRW and CDRW drives connecting to USB or Firewire depends on several factors: the firmware in the ATAPI drive, the software, OS and the USB 2.0 electronics. We have tested a number of drives in this enclosure using Nero Express software and Cyberlink PowerDVD. The table below summarizes the list of drives that have been tested to work with this enclosure. It is not possible for us to test all the different models of ATAPI devices out in the market. We will constantly update this list whenever new device has been tested. We cannot guarantee that all ATAPI devices will work in this enclosure. If you are installing a device that is not in the list below, make sure you are using the latest version of software and firmware to ensure better compatibility. We apologize that we cannot offer technical help on devices that are not in our list. However, we can offer to test the drive for you if you can send us the drive. Please email this request to [email protected] to make the arrangement.
