BIOS: Technology Means Business

StorCase Technology has announced its next generation disk-to-disk (D2D) backup solution. The new Data Express DX115 removable drive enclosures support up to 3Gbit/s Serial ATA (SATA) host connections and feature EMC’s Retrospect backup software.

D2D backup solutions are rapidly becoming a preferred alternative to traditional tape backup. Compared to tape, D2D backup technology offers higher transfer speeds, (performance improvements as high as 200 per cent), lower costs (savings up to 50 per cent over comparable tape solutions), greater ease of use, and 100 per cent accuracy for restored data. The new Data Express DX115 backup solution for 3.5-inch SATA drives further increases D2D backup speed with a direct 3Gbit/s SATA host connection.

‘Data Express disk-to-disk backup solutions are designed specifically with unique features intended for small to medium-sized companies considering an alternative to the limitations and hassles associated with tape backup technology,’ said Susanne Altadill, Marketing Executive, StorCase Technology Europe. ‘Our DX115 combines a uniquely compact and adaptable carrier design with the cost-effectiveness and latest levels of performance that our customers demand,’ added Altadill.

Each DX115 is a compact drive carrier and receiving frame for internally mounting a low-profile, 3.5-inch drive into any half-height, 5.25-inch peripheral bay. Profile enclosures incorporate protective Soft Start circuitry to ensure data integrity during spin-up and insertion and include a mechanical key lock on the drive carrier for additional security.

Rugged and versatile, Data Express products offer the highest frame to carrier interface connector ratings in the industry and exceed operating specification guidelines defined by leading drive manufacturers, claims the company. Built-in quality details should ensure ongoing performance in continuous drive swapping applications and provide the high-end protection for high-performance drives.

Pricing for the frame and carrier for this product comes in at £131 according to today’s foreign currency exchange rates. Fluctuations in this pricing may be affected by variations in currency exchange. All Data Express models provide an industry-leading 50K frame-to-carrier mating connector rating and 12-year warranty.
