iTank SATA drive to USB2.0 and SATA connection
The Stardom iTank is a versatile enclosure which accepts SATA (I or II) hard drives. It has a combo USB2.0 and SATA interface to the computer. This ensures that you have fast data transfer via SATA, and compatibility via USB2.0 (SATA is much faster at transferring data than USB2.0, but few computers have external SATA ports.)
The advantage that the iTank holds over standard enclosures is that the hard disk is housed in a removable bay, or caddy. Therefore, if you have many hard disks, you simply buy an inexpensive caddy for the disk, then easily swap the disks in and out of the iTank. This not only saves money, but hassle as well. Only having one USB drive connected to your computer means only one power supply and a single USB lead. Yet you have access to any number of hard disks.
Connecting via USB2.0 means that the iTank enclosure is suitable for use on Windows PC’s, Apple Macs and Linux. The external power supply is auto switching, enabling usage anywhere in the world. SATA support needs to be added to your computer via an upgrade card, unless your computer has an ‘eSATA’ port.
