Introduction

The StorCase DX115 Removable Enclosure is a compact, cost-effective, yet rugged drive carrier and receiving frame for internally mounting a SATA or SAS hard drive into a 5.25 inch optical drive bay in an HP xw Series Workstation.

The DX115 supports Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gbps drives and is downward-compatible with earlier-technology drives that are supported in HP xw Series Workstations.

  • StorCase DX115 SATA 3.0Gb/s Removable Drive Enclosure (EA332AA)
    Model EA332AA is a receiving frame and carrier for an SATA 3Gb/s disk. The receiving frame installs in one of the 5.25" optical bays in the workstation. The carrier holds the HDD and has a quick release handle for insertion/removal. You can install any HP supported SATA disk in the carrier.
  • StorCase DX115 SAS Removable Drive Enclosure (EA333AA)
    Model EA333AA is a receiving frame and carrier for an SAS disk. The receiving frame installs in one of the 5.25" optical bays in the workstation. The carrier holds the HDD and has a quick release handle for insertion/removal. You can install any HP supported SAS disk in the carrier.
  • StorCase DX115 SATA/SAS HDD Carrier Tray (RA697AA)
    Model RA697AA is the carrier only. This model works with any HP supported SATA or SAS disk. The tray can be installed in either an SATA or SAS receiving frame. Either an SATA or an SAS disk can be plugged into frames that are connected to an SAS controller. Only SATA disks are supported when connected to an SATA controller.

Key Features & Benefits
  • Compact enclosure with centered drive carrier ensures no interference with the workstation bezel
  • Drive spin/power up/down button
  • Power, spin & fan failure indicator
  • Drive activity indicator (system-dependent)
  • "Soft Start" circuitry & anti-static device protection
  • Cable-less drive connector
  • SAS receiving frames can accept SATA drive carriers for added flexibility and cost effectiveness
  • Rugged construction; drive is protected in the event of physical trauma.
  • Mating connectors provide 50K insertion rating for multiple insertions and removals.
  • Integrated fan assures proper drive cooling.
  • Key lock functions independently from drive power.
  • Exceeds rotational vibration and heat dissipation requirements of today's high-speed drives.
