Hard Drive Enclosures - Nexus Aluminum Drive-A-Way Hard Drive Enclosure
The Nexus Drive-A-Way™ is your ultimate solution to completely silence your hard disk drive. This internal aluminum hard drive enclosure is suitable for 2.5" and 3.5" hard disk drives, IDE and SATA. The Drive-A-Way mounts into a 5.25" bay in your pc case.
The inside of the Drive-A-Way™ is fully covered with multi frequency noise absorption material to absorb any noise or rattling coming from your disk drive. To secure a stable operation of your disk, and to absorb any unwanted vibrations, the hard drive is mounted on unique soft rubber shock absorbers.
The cooling capacity of this enclosure is tremendous and sufficient in order to handle the newest disk up to 15,000 RPM. Because of the thermal pad conductivity surface on the inside of the lid of the Drive-A-Way™, the heat generated by the hard disk is dissipated to the aluminum drive enclosure perfectly.
Silence and excellent cooling for your hard drive finally combined in one product!
Let's take a closer look at the elements and techniques used to make the Drive-A-Way so successful. Significant elements of the Drive-A-Way enclosure are the unique shock absorbers, the heat dissipating interface and the noise absorption material.
The Nexus Drive-A-Way™ is equipped with 4 unique shock absorbers. These absorbers are made of soft rubber and will absorb any resonance or vibration from the hard disk. This is a unique element to guarantee stability for your Hard Disk drive.
The rubber shock absorbers are made of soft rubber and because of the circular design it is a simple yet very effective solution to absorb any vibration.
Once the hard drive is fixed inside the Nexus hard drive enclosure you can close the lid of the enclosure. When you close the lid, you will compress the multi frequency noise absorption material fixed on the lid so the hard disk will be in direct contact with the aluminum enclosure. The two elements that come in contact with the hard disk have a thermal pad conductivity surface to improve heat dissipation.
The multi frequency noise absorption material of the lid will be compressed when you mount the lid. With a thermal pad covered, conductivity surfaces will be in direct contact with the top of the hard disk drive. Heat will be perfectly transferred from the disk to the aluminum enclosure.
The Drive-A-Way™hard drive enclosure is fully fitted with multi frequency noise absorption material. This material has been selected as it has proven to absorb hard disk activity frequencies best. No element has been left uncovered, so the hard disk is fully surrounded by the absorption material.
The fine absorption material has a crystal-like structure and is ideal for absorbing frequencies produced by hard disk drives.
