Shock and Vibration protection power over eSATA or USBUSB 3.0use as an external drive or drive cartridge
The Ruby ExDrive Kit features the new generation of eSATA hard drive enclosures using native eSATA interface for the highest performance possible today through an externally connected hard drive enclosure. Designed for accommodating any standard 2.5" SATA or SATA II or SATA III hard drive, the Ruby ExDrive provides data transfer rate up to 12 times the maximum throughput of any USB 2.0 drive enclosure. When connected via eSATA interface, drives contained inside the durable and heat resistant Ruby enclosure is even capable of booting Operating Systems through an eSATA port on a motherboard or add-in card.
The Ruby drive enclosure, small enough to fit easily in the palm of your hand, is designed to to protect your hard drive against rough handling, drop and vibation with light weight cast aluminum housing and patented shock proof material to sustain a drop up to 3 feet. The Ruby drive enclosure comes with Addonics SATA direct interface design that provides an eSATA connector for high speed eSATA interface, as well as an additional SATA connector on the back. This SATA connector allows the Ruby drive enclosure to be used as a removable drive cartridge via an optional Ruby drive cradle installed inside a 3.5" drive bay of any computer.
Anatomy of the Ruby drive enclosure
The Ruby ExDrive kit can connect to standard eSATA port, eSATA / USB hybrid port (EUHP) that appears on many new Notebook systems, USB 3.0 or 2.0 port using an optional USB 3.0 - eSATAp adapter. Depending on the implementation by the Notebook manufacturer, the eSATA performance can be as fast as 6 Giga bits per sec, almost 15 times the speed of USB 2.0.
Power and data via a single eSATA cable (power over eSATA)
By connecting to the eSATA / USB hybrid port (EUHP) with the Addonics eSATAp cable, the Ruby ExDrive can be directly powered from the Notebook with high speed eSATA connection - the combination of true portability and fastest drive performance similar to internal hard drive. The Ruby ExDrive can also be directly powered from USB port when using the Addonics eSATAp cable in conjunction with the USB3.0 - eSATAp adapter.
