The StorCase Technology Parallel ATA Data Express

®

DE50 is a removable drive carrier and

receiving frame, designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) 2.5" Ultra
ATA100 drive within a 3.5" or 5.25" peripheral slot (with factory-installed adapter bracket).
It is downward compatible with earlier technology IDE drives.

The PATA DE50 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another PATA DE50-equipped
computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data by
removing and storing the drive safely for future use.
