5 Bay Enclosure connects with a single eSATA data cable

  Supreme Performance and HUGE Capacities are easily yours for up to 230 MB/s per enclosure and current capacities of up to 7.5 TB. Capable of being formatted into individual (JBOD) mounted drives or in RAID arrays using utilities like OSX Disk Utility, SoftRAID or Windows Disk Management utilities.

  This is the finest built enclosure you can get to store your data! Burly Enclosures use the most robust power supply (300 WATT) on the market, great cooling with huge incredibly quiet 80 mm fans. All steel construction, you can literally stand on them. No wimpy little box with the drives stacked one on top of the other and no airspace between them. These contain full size Hotswap Bays with solid aluminum trays protecting your drives and fully enclosing them even when removed from the enclosure. Every Bay has its own internal fan for the absolute best cooling you can get. All these features are aimed at giving the highest stability in temperatures and power supplied. That is the #1 priority of a drive enclosure. Is your data worth the best protection possible?

  Attaching the enclosure to your computer couldn’t be easier. With an eSATA connector on the back you connect the 1 or 2 meter long eSATA cable between the PCI Host Card and Enclosure. Enclosures come fully assembled either ready to install your choice of hard drives or already assembled and tested with Seagate or Hitachi SATA Hard Drives for industry leading performance at bargain prices. All components are SATAII capable and meet all SATA-IO.org specifications.

ORDERING SUGGESTIONS

  We at Burly Storage strongly suggest that you order the defaulted 2 meter eSATA cable. It's 6'6" length allows you the room needed to move the enclosure around a little and lets you get it a little farther away from your computer. (The maximum cable length possible within the SATA Specification is 2 meters.)

  The LCD trays are a nice way to keep tabs on your drives but we find that after a while most customers never look at them. The LCD trays provide drive temperature, drive activity and fan activity readouts as well as an audible alarm if the drive fan should stop or the drive itself overheat. Standard Trays provide a LED for drive power and drive activity. For most applications the Standard Trays work perfectly but the LCDs are nice for keeping tabs on your drives.

NEW Trayless option!

  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 Enclosure line. If you want your enclosure to include the trayless bays simply choose them in the "Bay Type" pull-down menu on any Burly Enclosure. CLICK HERE for a complete description and photos.

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.

  For those that need a larger enclosure such as the eight bay model, let me suggest a pair of the smaller 4 or 5 bay enclosures instead. (Two Four Bay PM Enclosures combined are only $61.00 more than a single Eight Bay) The smaller enclosures are easier to move around and diagnose should there be a problem at some point. By using a pair of enclosures you also get some redundancy because you'll have dual power supplies each with 4 or 5 drives.
