Hard Drive Extraction Box detailed

One, what is the hard drive extraction box

Now in the market, we can see that there is a hard drive cartridge on sale, the extraction box is divided into built-in and external 2 kinds. The built-in hard disk box is similar to a drawer, with two parts, the shell frame can be fixed on the chassis bracket, the core part can be loaded with a normal 3-inch hard disk, can be used as a drawer to plug in. The "drawer" of the same type of built-in active hard disk box is universal, in other words, if more than one computer is installed with the same model of the built-in active hard disk box, then in the setting does not conflict, fixed the hard drive "drawer" can be like a floppy disk into any one installed outside the shelves of the computer to use.

The function and characteristic of the hard disk extraction box

The function of the hard drive box is to make the "hard" disk which is fixed without moving into a "soft" disk which can be freely active. The hard disk extraction box is a kind of carrier of the hard disk activity range expansion. As a product can appear in the market, foothold and development, there is bound to have his own characteristics, the following to see the characteristics of the hard disk extraction box .

1 convenient movement of the conversion of

If a hard drive is fixed on the computer, you have to take it out and it will be a very troublesome thing, first you need to open the chassis, and then unplug the hard drive data cable and power cord, can release the screws, can be removed, and if you remove the hard drive is to change a hard drive, then you need to reverse the above steps again, Even if your hands and feet are very neat, this one will take you a lot of time, and if you have a hard drive cartridge , you will find that everything becomes so simple (how it sounds like an ad.) All you need to do is turn off the power (because we're not using hot-swappable hard drives), pull the handle from the box, pull it out, and then put the hard drive with the carrier to the inside, then you can turn it on, so it's very simple.

If you are engaged in drawing or animation production of a type of work, must often have a lot of large-capacity files to copy, through CD-RW or CD-R speed too slow, disk read disk will take time, with a zip and other activities such as floppy drive, the same, and 100m/120m capacity is too small. With a network card, you can, but the speed is still not too fast, and if the two computers are not connected with the network card, or several kilometers apart. Then the extraction box will be able to play a role, as long as in advance in some often handcuffed to the computer installed on a few extraction boxes, you just turn off the power, to copy the data hard disk plugged in, and then the boot, immediately will be like the local hard copy of the same data transmission speed, in fact, is the local hard drive AH. This is a good way to be once and for all.

2 The low price makes it have the very strong popularization sex.

Now the market on the ordinary plastic hard Drive box for the price is about 140 yuan, which is gray-white, and the general chassis the same color, and another imitation of the color of the imac translucent hard Drive box , the price slightly more expensive, These are the patents of the famous manufacturers of authentic products prices, some small factory counterfeit goods prices are lower (how to debate the true and false will be discussed below), such a low price even if the average home users can afford.

Compared with CD-R or CD-RW, the price advantage of large-capacity hard disk + extraction box is self-evident, so we can calculate a sum of account. 1 13G hard drive + a 6.4g+2 box only 2500 yuan, and a cd-rw+ the price of a platter will be 2XXX, and only 600M of capacity, a cd-r+10 Zhang Pan slice of the price is so much, The extraction box can be used to achieve greater capacity and unlimited use and high-speed transmission rate. In the business of selling authentic extraction boxes, you can use dozens of yuan to buy the "drawer" in the box, that is, as long as dozens of yuan for each hard drive, you can make this hard drive has the ability to move, and you only need to screw the first screwdriver with 4 screws can be once and for all.

3 A variety of interface methods so that it has a wide range of application areas

Now the main extraction box in the market is the use of the built-in IDE interface, but he is not the only way to interface, the other is Scsi,ide external, the IDE outside the extraction box and 2, one through the mouth to connect, the other is the most popular USB interface now, The biggest advantage of this external extraction box is that it is used in environments where there is no temporary need for large amounts of data transmission within the 2 units that are not installed inside the built-in extraction box.

Not only the desktop can use the extraction box, notebook computer can also be used, such as the VP-8056 series is designed for the notebook. Laptop mobility is his biggest feature, but his biggest weakness is that the hard disk space relative to the desktop is much smaller, which is mainly because of technical and cost reasons, in the current household 13G is not enough, Many mainstream notebooks still use 4.8G or 6.4G of hard drives, when users feel that the hard disk is not enough, or need to copy data to other hard drive up, the extraction box is almost the best choice.

VP-8056 for notebooks using PCMCIA card interface, of course, and USB cartridge can be used in the same notebook, and the PCMCIA interface is for the notebook dedicated. Just put a hard drive into the extraction box and connect the cartridge to the computer. This computer is equivalent to having a large active hard disk, the user is free to transfer the data back and forth, while maintaining their mobility, because the weight of a hard disk is relative to the current notebook computer is negligible, When it comes to transferring data, it's hard to lose his mobility and connect the laptop to the desktop.

Taking into account the laptop power problem, these designed for notebook design of the cartridge can work under low power, while in line with APM Energy Management, can be savings for users more power.

Because the current extraction box by virtue of his various interface methods and characteristics, so that it has a very wide range of applications and user groups, so his future is a bright.

4 Continuous innovation technology gives the extraction box and hard disk more powerful vitality

The extraction box is not just a medium for connecting computers and hard drives, he is not simply a hardware device. Such a simple product also has a lot of innovative ideas and technology and software development. As we all know, the general home hard drive is not able to hot-swappable, even if the hot pull does not damage the hard drive, you hot plug a go up there is no meaning, and some large extraction box of the development company through a dedicated software, to give you any piece of hard disk, ZIP, CD-ROM, LS-120, Mo and so on have the ability of hot Plug and pull.

The principle of the software is that the software takes over the BIOS to read the part of the hard drive parameters, so that it can read the new Access IDE device parameters. The software was developed by High Point (the company was the first to launch the DMA66 support Chip). I used to find that it is possible to have a "hot plug" capability for any of your IDE's devices or other storage media that are connected through the extraction box, of course this is not really hot plug, you need to unplug the media in the extraction box before the power off, and then replace, and then turn on the power, The system will soon be able to identify the device you are accessing and put it into use.

A real support for hot-swappable hard drives and optical drive prices can buy a few do not support hot plug of the same products, and the use of the extraction box + software, the average family can also have this ability, so that the value of the extraction box and hard disk in stealth has been improved.

For example, we now use the hard drive most can not accept too much vibration, but you are constantly replacing the hard drive in the extraction box will inevitably have some collisions, so, some brand-name extraction box companies to withstand high impact capacity of the material as a shell, fully protect the security of the data, making use of the time without worries.

5 good confidentiality and multi-language platform support

Because of the popularity of the Internet, the security of the network is becoming more and more worried, coupled with the serial number of Intel PIII, Microsoft Office products are also out of the internal serial number, there are many other we do not know the back door exists in our hard drive, the average user will forget, If it is some of the more important units or computers have more important data, the Internet will inevitably have a risk, if the use of an extraction box can be a good solution to this problem, in the Internet, with a only installed the internet needs of the software hard drive, and after the Internet, Can be the usual work of the important hard drive to replace it, it is really bears and bear paws can be both.

Some companies, often need to do business with a lot of foreign companies, because of the popularity of E-commerce, many times are through the e-mail to contact, if at the same time with a number of countries to contact the company, you need to have more than one country's input method, although you can install a variety of input methods to solve the problem, But the best solution is to install multiple language versions of the operating system, we can put several operating systems through the software on a hard drive, but for some people without this experience is a bit difficult, now with the extraction box, we can buy a few hard drives, each hard drive to install a system, what needs to use what, And it's not going to cause all the systems in the entire hard drive to be compromised (such as CIH) for some reason in a system. It is indeed a convenient, safe and reliable solution.

Third, if the purchase of the extraction box

Having said so much of the advantages of the extraction box, we will inevitably have a little tempted, want to buy a taste of taste, but in the purchase of the time must be careful and careful choice, otherwise purchased a poor quality of the extraction box, perhaps you have not enjoyed the fun of moving, your hard drive on the first scrap.

Pick a cartridge and take a closer look at his materials, because the real extraction box is patented, so can produce few manufacturers, brand also on these, and inferior product shell and brand is to do according to the appearance of authentic, so to distinguish between true and false, only look at workmanship and materials. The quality of the plastic shell is very hard and thick, so as to prevent distortion and distortion, and some counterfeit products of the shell is very rough and thin, in addition to see his internal interface, high-quality extraction box, the internal that often plug the interface is gilded, in order to ensure that many times after the plug will not appear contact bad, and inferior counterfeit products will find the interface of the place is not shiny, many times inserted in the latter's fingers have obvious damage marks. Other also has the internal data line, the genuine data line is broken into several rows by the longitudinal, may facilitate these lines in the narrow space to bend, but the counterfeit goods and the desktop data line, is the whole root. Other differences are reflected in packaging and switching. In fact, the average price of authentic goods in about 120, and counterfeit in order to attract customers, the price is often low dozens of yuan, we buy when not for some cheap to buy inferior products, because the hard disk is very delicate, some small problems such as contact, voltage, heat, etc., can cause bad way even hard disk damage.

I hope that after reading this article, we can find some new ideas to expand their storage space. If you have any comments and suggestions, you can use e-mail to contact me.
