Marketing description

The HPE StorageWorks Rack-Mount Kits provide a high-density, rack-mountable tape drive and removable hard disk drive enclosure for direct-attach SCSI, USB, and SAS backup and archiving applications. Because these enclosures use standard internal tape drives and internal removable hard disk drives, they provide a cost-effective means of mounting tape drives and removable hard disk drives in rack server environments. These enclosures provide customers with scalability, allowing the customer to add drives and migrate to new tape or removable hard disk drive technologies as their capacity and performance needs grow.

Product features

• Scalability
  HPE StorageWorks Rack-Mount kits support two tape drives or two RDX removable hard disk drives in the 1U. Tape drives and RDX removable hard disk drives can be added at any time, allowing flexibility to add capacity or change tape technologies at any time.
• Ease-of-use features
  HPE StorageWorks Rack-Mount kits include features designed to provide for easier access and management of installed tape drives and RDX removable hard disk drives. The top access door allows the customer to access the drives (or drive area) while the enclosure remains in the rack. Each unit also includes two slide-out drive trays that allow for easy removal of the internal tape drives and RDX removable hard disk drives through the top access door.
