Stardom SOHOTANK ST8-S2P
Mfr P/N: RD-ST8-S2P OWC SKU: RTIST8S2P
Up to 48TB of storage in a single, portable enclosure.
- Stardom 2 Year Limited Warranty
Large storage in a small footprint
The SOHOTANK ST8 enclosure holds eight 3.5" SATA hard drives, up to 6TB each, giving you up to 48TB worth of storage. Amazingly, the enclosure is only 5 inches wide and 8 inches deep. That's half the area of a sheet of paper!
Integrated Port Multiplier
Just because there's a lot of drives in the enclosure, it does not mean there's a lot of cables coming out the back as well. The SOHOTANK ST8-S2P has two port multipliers, each of which allows control of up to 4 drives on a single eSATA cable.
Tough and cool
The SOHOTANK's all-aluminum construction not only provides a sturdy frame for holding all the drives, it also acts a very effective heat sink. Combine it with two large, quiet fans, and your drives can run comfortably without risking overheating.
Easy installation & replacement
The SOHOTANK uses removable trays to hold its hard drives. Just slide them in and out. No need to open the case. No wires to try and twist around. No hassles.
