Mobile Rack Module for Echo Express III Rackmount

Using the mobile rack mounting kit, you can install two 5.25-inch mobile rack devices inside the III-R's enclosure and easily connect them to cards installed in the Echo Express III chassis. Connected to a 6Gb/s SAS host controller card, you could add an internal LTO 6 tape drive for backups plus an enclosure for four swappable 2.5-inch SSDs for fast storage. An alternate configuration might include a Sonnet Qio MR pro universal media reader (with its interface card installed in one of the chassis' PCIe slots) for quick ingests of files from SxS, P2, and CF memory cards.

Or, install a 6Gb/s eSATA host controller in one of the chassis' slots and connect one full-height mobile rack enclosure for three swappable 3.5-inch hard disk drives”you can migrate your old Mac Pro's drives to your new system. The Echo Express III-R Mobile Rack Kit includes an internal 250W power supply inside to power the installed devices, a large internal fan to cool the installed devices, and mounting hardware to secure the devices and the kit itself. No matter what you choose, the Echo Express III-R Mobile Rack Kit enables you to add more devices to your rack without taking up additional rack space.
