STARDOM SOHOTANK
0GB 8-bay eSATA Drive Enclosure
Mac | PC | eSATA 3Gb/s | Port Multiplier

Mac PC

Up to 16TB of storage in a single, portable enclosure.

Large storage in a small footprint.
The SOHOTANK ST8 enclosure holds eight 3.5" SATA hard drives, up to 2TB each, giving you up to 16TB 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.

Package Includes
  • SOHOTANK ST8-S2P Enclosure
