The StorCase Technology Data Express® SATA 3Gbps DX115 for Backup is a removable drive carrier and receiving frame, designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one

(1)low-profile (up to 1" high) 3.5" SATA 3Gbps drive within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2). It is downward-compatible with earlier SATA technology.

The SATA 3Gbps DX115 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another SATA 3Gbps DX115-equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data by removing and storing the drive safely for future use.

The DX115 for Backup includes a EMC® Retrospect® (Express or Disk-to-Disk) Backup software CD, which allows for easy data backup and restoration.
