Tired of external USB and FireWire® drives not stacking up when it comes to speed? Change your interface and think inside our box! Sonnet's Fusion™ 400 4-bay Serial ATA (SATA) drive enclosure combines the versatility of hot-swap functionality with support for the fastest SATA drives in a seriously cool package. This box is built for speed—data passes straight from drive to SATA host controller with no "bridge chip" to slow the transfer, unlike FireWire and USB enclosures. Fusion 400 is compact, but its small footprint will make a big impression—with its powerful built-in universal power supply and compact dimensions, it is a great solution for anyone looking to store large amounts of data in a little package.

Maximum Flexibility

This enclosure supports 3 Gb/s drives and is backward compatible with 1.5 Gb/s drives, so you'll get maximum flexibility in choosing drives for years to come. The four hot-swap drive trays offer great freedom of choice in building your storage solution—you won't get locked into a specific configuration. Start out with a single drive for simple data storage and then add additional ones as the need arises, or fill the enclosure with four drives up to 750GB each to create a monster 3 terabyte striped RAID array for uncompressed HD video capture and editing—Fusion 400 is truly versatile. Need even more storage space? Pick up additional trays so you can add drives to your arsenal for daily backups or project management.

Maximum Flexibility

Fusion 400 was designed with form and function in equal balance. The drive trays have built-in levers that double as handles to make swapping drives easy, and the cable-less connections from drives to enclosure simplify setup and assure reliability over the long haul. Each drive tray can be locked independently of the others, so you can control the level of security for each installed drive. In the unlikely event you need to replace the whisper-quiet fan, there's no need to shut down—it's hot-swappable, too.
