Dual 2.5" SATA/SAS enclosure

The CRU 8510-6402-9500 is a new removable drive enclosure that fits two 2.5 inch SATA or SAS drives into a single 5.25 inch bay. It consists of a frame and two carriers rated for up to 30000 insertion cycles. The unit delivers 6 Gbps transfer speed with compatible drives and hosts.

IT teams needing hot-swap 2.5" drives

This enclosure suits administrators who need tool-less swapping of two 2.5 inch SATA or SAS drives in a 5.25 inch bay. It does not support 3.5 inch drives, 1.8 inch drives, or more than two devices simultaneously. Buyers requiring internal 3.5 inch bays or single-drive carriers should consider other form factors.

6 Gbps SATA/SAS interface

The decisive specification is the SATA I/II/III and SAS 6 Gbps interface that governs host compatibility and maximum throughput. Drives and controllers must match this interface to achieve the rated transfer speed. The enclosure is backward compatible with 3 Gbps hosts and drives.

Questions about this item

How many times can the drive carrier be inserted and removed before it wears out?

The carrier is rated for up to 30,000 insertion and ejection cycles, which is roughly once every hour for over five years without failure or signal degradation.

What is the maximum data transfer speed the enclosure supports?

The enclosure delivers up to 6 Gbps when used with a 6 Gbps drive and host, and is backwards compatible with 3 Gbps configurations.

How much heat or noise does the unit add when running two drives all day?

The enclosure has no built-in fan; heat and noise depend entirely on the two 2.5" drives installed and the host system's airflow.
