Raidon iU2300-U6P3 Internal RAID for 2xM.2 NVMe or U.2 SSDs in CD-ROM Drive Enclosure

Raidon Technology Inc. launches the iU2300-U6P3 internal RAID storage device that boasts a design similar to that of a standard CD-ROM drive.

It is capable of supporting 2xM.2 NVMe SSDs of all sizes (2280/2260/2242). The iU2300-U6P3 features high-speed mini SAS (SFF-8643) connector compatible with both PCIe Gen 3 and Gen 4 interfaces and provides versatile application options with its support for JBOD Mode. It also offers compatibility with both U.2 SSD drive and firm’s 9.5mm UBOX mini disk tray specifically for M.2 NVMe SSDs.

The company is also launching a range of PC cards designed to complement the iU2300-U6P3 for user specific needs.

A key highlight of the IU2300-U6P3 is its support for JBOD mode. This feature extends the device’s application flexibility, allowing you to utilize user storage in ways that best suit users’ needs. The IU2300-U6P3 compact as a traditional CD-ROM drive and is built to support 2xM.2 NVMe SSDs, accommodating a variety of sizes, including NGFF (Next Generation Form Factor) 2280 (80mm), 2260 (60mm), and 2242 (42mm). Connectivity is with the IU2300-U6P3’s mini SAS (SFF-8643) connectors, ready to link up with PCIe Gen 3 or Gen 4 interfaces. This storage enclosure also supports U.2 SSDs and company’s distinct 9.5mm UBOX mini disk tray for M.2 NVMe SSDs. The M.2 NVMe SSDs can be securely fastened using mounting screws for a stable setup.

The construction of IU2300-U6P3 incorporates a metal tray design, which ensures durability and also offers heightened security via its key lock tray design. The IU2300-U6P3 is equipped with a vivid and legible LED display for each M.2 NVMe SSD.

This intuitive feature keeps users updated on the device’s overall status, facilitating easier operation and maintenance at all times. It also equipped with dual silent fans and prioritizes the longevity of storage. This feature, combined with a heat-dissipating metal shell design, optimizes the device’s cooling capabilities. These measures are designed to extend the lifecycle of user’ M.2 NVMe SSDs and ensure they perform at peak levels.

The iU2300-U6P3’s disk tray includes an UBOX mini, making it convenient for users to install M.2 NVMe SSDs. If the need arises to use a 2.5-inch U.2 SSD drive, simply remove the UBOX mini after unloading, and then you can install a standard 2.5-inch U.2 SSD drive (with a height of up to 9.5mm).

In conclusion, the IU2300-U6P3 encapsulates the essence of a next-gen storage device. It blends aesthetic design with functionality, versatility, and robust security. Its detailed attention to thermal management ensures user storage devices perform optimally and last longer. Regardless of user storage needs, it is poised to exceed user expectations.
