A hardware RAID drive enclosure, also known as a RAID backplane drive cage is an all-in-one RAID sub-system with a built-in RAID chipset, allowing users to easily install a hot-swappable RAID array into any desktop PC, rackmount, or workstation without needing a PCIe RAID controller card or OS/BIOS-based RAID software. ICY DOCK RAID drive enclosures offer a variety of hard disk interfaces, including 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD, 3.5" SATA HDD, or E1.S NVMe SSD (concept model), providing flexible RAID solutions to meet different needs.
