Burly Trayless Enclosures for SATA and SAS Drives

  The solution to many requests for a robust trayless enclosure has now been found. Burly Storage has been looking for that solution for some time and it's now available in the Burly line of Hot Swap Port Multiplier and Firewire Enclosures.

  This user friendly screw-less design allows you to quickly plug in any 3.5" SATA or SAS hard drive for immediate access to your data. Available in your choice of connectivity from Direct SATA to Port Multiplication to Firewire / USB and and even Mini-SAS in any size from Single Bay, 2, 4, 5 and 8 bay models. Even our Rack Mount Enclosures can be configured with the trayless drive bays. These Trayless Bays are available for either SATA or SAS drives. The SAS Bays will also accommodate SATA drives but allow dual data paths for redundancy, SATA Bays will fit only SATA drives.

  Each bay has a built in fan that keeps the drive cool when installed and a key lock to avoid unauthorized access to the drives. Sporting a stylish brushed aluminum faceplate the bay itself is made of sturdy steel construction. The drive is automatically ejected when the door is opened by a positive ejection bar that's directly attached to the door. Drive swapping couldn't be easier. However, if you're going to be using the hot swap function to move drives around for archiving purposes we still recommend our Standard or LCD Burly Enclosures which provide a great deal of drive protection when the drive is removed from the chassis.

Please note, the 500 GB and smaller Seagate 7200.12 generation drives will not work with the trayless style bay. These drives are physically shorter and will not fit snugly in the drive opening. The 750 GB and larger drives have the correct frame size to fit these bays.

This is the finest built enclosure you can get to store your data! It’s worth it.

  Burly Enclosures use the most robust power supply (300 Watt) on the market and provide great cooling with huge incredibly quiet 80 mm case fans as well as individual drive fans promising long term drive life. With all steel construction, you can literally stand on them.
