RAX840-XJ 4U Rackmount Enclosure

The CRU RAX840-XJ 8-Bay JBOD 4U Rackmount Enclosure offers 6 Gb/s performance with a Multilane SFF-8088 interface supporting eight 3.5” SATA hard drives. TrayFree™ bays make adding drives effortless. It's as easy as opening the door, sliding the drive in, and closing the door. No screws, no trays, it just works.

RAX840-XJ, with 6Gb/s performance, is an ideal solution for post production audio and video editing, storage or backing up large amounts of data. With the option of a dual redundant power supply, RAX840-XJ offers extra security to protect data. Our TrayFree design also offers HDD hot swapping.

Mounting RAX840-XJ
RAX840-XJ can be mounted in a standard 19” rack (EIA 310 Standards) by using our available rack slide kit (0641-5500-00). A rack depth from 22” to 30” is suggested when using CRU-DataPort’s rack slide kit to allow easy access to the back of the unit.

What is MultiLane?
Multilane is a cabling method for combining up to four eSATA cables into one capable of moving data up to 6 Gb/s using a SFF8088 connector..

Key Advantages
Speed: SATA supports max transfer rates up to 6Gb/s.

Cooling: Drives can overheat, so cooling has always been a key element in CRU product design.  RAX 4U enclosures feature one large 120mm fan and two 60mm exhaust fans. In addition each power supply includes its own cooling fan.

Easy Host Connect Cabling: Connect to your host computer via one cable using multilane cable technology.  RAX840-XJ offer up to 6 Gb/s speeds using a multilane cable and SFF-8088 connector. Cables sold separately

Available Dual Redundant Power Supply: RAX840-XJ is available with a dual redundant power supply option allowing an additional security feature to keep data secure.
