User Guide

The Saturn Drive Cartridge System (SDCS) enables any SATA or IDE hard drive to be use like a tape cartridge via a 5 1/4" drive bay. You can swap hard drive in and out of the drive bay without restarting your system. instead of a slow tape cartridge, you have full performance of a hard drive. The drive enclosure, comes in a compact foot print slightly larger than a VCR cassette, can also be used as an external drive. External connection can be either USB, Firewire, CardBus or SATA, all by simply attaching the appropriate Addonics USIB interface cable. There is no switches or jumpers to set between internal and external hard drive applications. Constructed with strong aluminum, the SDCS kit is built for long durability and efficient heat dissipation.

With the choice of Saturn Cipher drive enclosure that comes with built-in bullet proof hardware encryption technology, sensitive data stored in the hard drive can be kept secure even if the hard drive is lost or stolen, Unlike software encryption, the Addonics hardware solution encrypts and decrypts data with no measurable performance degradation and yet simple to use as there is no software to install or password to remember.
