1.1 Overview
VI-ON external hard drive enclosure is the world’s first external enclosure with
embedded hard drivesuspension system and Active SMART Cooling System that
utilizes an auto temperature sending fan thatreacts to hard drive temperature
changes in real-time for utmost quiet and efficient heat dissipation.
While most users do not realize, hard drives are capable of producing a fair amount
of vibration whenhard drive internal disks, up to 4 disks depending on drive’s model
or size, are at their maximum rotational speed. That is exactly why Thermaltake
engineers designed-in the world’s first hard disk drivesuspension system to minimize
those vibration noises.
VI-ON’s outer design played an equally important part of the development process.
With huge amount of digital data that are available today in our every day life, stor
aging them has been made very simple thanks to continuing price drop in larger
capacity hard drives. However, storaging hard drive itself has not really improved
much until now. VI-ON’s unique tilted structural design along with eccentric metal
mesh makes it visually pleasing to be placed almost anywhere. Removable base
unit can be detached for effortless transportation. After all, it is an external mobile
enclosure.
