Addonics Technologies (San Jose, CA) announced its Snap-In series, a family of enclosures that allows users to hot swap hard drives between systems by just popping out the drive.
The Addonics Snap-In ExDrive25 is the simplest portable 2.5-inch hard drive enclosure solution available. Any 2.5-inch SATA hard drive can be installed in this enclosure without tools or mounting screws. The Snap-In ExDrive25 acts just like a hard drive reader/writer. Users can hot swap hard drives between systems at any time.
The Snap-In ExDrive25 is constructed of aluminum for durability and efficient heat dissipation. A patented shock mount mechanism is built-in to protect the hard drive from damage. The device includes dual eSATA and USB 2.0 connecters for easy desktop-to-notebook connections. The Snap-In ExDrive25 is also bootable under eSATA to make it excellent for disaster recovery.
Addonics new Snap-In Double Drive for desktop systems has twin 2.5-inch SATA hard drive slots. To remove a hard drive users just "snap" open the drive door and pull out the hard drive. It fits inside a standard 3.5-inch drive bay.
The Zebra Snap-in Mobile Rack, may be the only external drive enclosure you will ever need. It is offered in eSATA or eSATA/USB models. When attached to a system via the USB 2.0 or a hot swappable eSATA port, hard drives of any capacity can be added or removed from the system as easy a popping out a cassette tape.
The Addonics Snap-In enclosures support Windows, Linux (Kernel 2.4 and above), Mac OS X and above with a USB connection. The eSATA connection adds support for DOS and Solaris 10 and above.
The MSRP for the Snap-In ExDrive enclosure (AE25XSNESU) is $29 (US). The Snap-In Double Drive (AE25SNAP2SA) is $39. Zebra Snap-In Mobile Rack with eSATA / USB 2.0 interface (ZSNESU) is $77.
