Our most dense storage enclosure yet
the ToughArmor MB516SP-B. With space available for 16 x 2.5″ SATA / SAS drives up to 7mm in height
it fits in only two 5.25″ bays
making it perfect for high density storage applications. It features our unique EZ-Slide Nano trays that make installing drives a snap
and are compatible with several other ToughArmor models such as MB998 series. Its large 80mm user-controllable fan runs quietly
utilizing its many ventilation holes for maximum airflow at minimal RPM ranges. The fan has 3 modes the user can set; high
low
and off. The MB516SP-B features a rugged heavy duty full-metal housing designed to meet high IOPS requirement which are generally found in Enterprise environments
Military systems
Medical systems
high performance computing and industrial settings.
Countless Options in a Single Cage
To maximize its storage density and compatibility
the MB516SP-B supports 16 x 5mm to 7mm 2.5″ SATA / SAS SSD or Hard disk drive
and only uses two standard external 5.25″ computer bays (DVD-ROM bays).
The MB516SP-B’s compact
dense design makes it perfect for workstations
compact servers
gaming rigs
home servers
and HTPCs that require high IOPS
high capacity
and low latency storage access.
It works well in advanced RAID configurations
due to its use of 4x Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8643) connectors
and can be controlled by a single RAID card. Mini-SAS is also preferable to remove cable clutter and clean up your system
4 cables are easier to manage than 16. It is also perfect for users that need non-RAID JBOD storage to save different content in different drive locations. It supports a wide-range of applications which makes the ToughArmor MB516SP-B invaluable.
Using the EZ Slide Nano trays makes drive interchangeability and maintenance completely hassle free. For drive security
the Eagle-hook lock system on the tray makes sure your hard drives will not eject when not needed. The trays are designed to accommodate 5 to 7mm height hard drive and SSD
creating a 2.5″ hot swap bay for any standard SATA / SAS hard drives and SSDs.
Maximum Reliability and Stability
Protecting the safety of your most valuable data is the top priority of any data storage system. The MB516SP-B is tough enough to handle the most demanding environments
using heavy duty rugged full-metal components inside and out. Its full-metal design is also perfect for industrial and medical applications
where flammability requirements need to be met. In addition
the Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT) and EMI grounding ensure a stable platform for the drives being used
vastly improving reliability and drive longevity. The full metal construction of MB516SP-B allows for maximum heat dissipation
and combined with the large 80mm cooling fan
keeps your drives at an optimal temperature even under intense accesses.
The user replaceable 80mm cooling fan is placed directly at the center of the rear panel
providing equivalent airflow throughout the entire cage. Depending on your needs
you may need the fan to be at a higher speed
or completely off for silent operation
and so a 3-Mode Fan Speed Control has been added to flexible in various situations.
Packed with Features
The ToughArmor MB516SP-B has LED status lights built-in to each tray
giving you current status information for each drive. Active Power Technology (APT) allows each LED to only be on when a drive is inserted
and shuts down the fan automatically when all drives are removed. When a drive is detected
the large 80mm cooling fan starts up
strategically placed in the rear of the unit to maximize airflow.
