A-ATA133-3F Mobile Rack
Technical specifications | |
Device type | Mobile rack |
Interface | ATA/133 |
Supported devices | HDD, ZIP, MO, LS-120, Tape, SY Jet |
Case material | Aluminum/plastic |
Approximate price | $16 |
To test the HDD in “mobile” conditions, we used an A-ATA133-3F Mobile Rack from a no-name Chinese manufacturer. As you can guess from the marking, the rack supports the ATA/133 interface and three fans. Two fans are already here, and the third can be installed if necessary. The peculiarity of this rack is its case material: both plastic and aluminum. Thus, it better protects the HDD during transportation. Otherwise, this rack looks just like any other. It has two LEDs for telling the work status and comes with a pair of keys and a few mounting screws.
