Hot-Swappable Optical Disc Drive + SSD Combo Enclosures
When working in the harsh desert environments often seen by the military, ensuring that data is well protected from environmental impacts while still being easily accessible is important. Hard drives, SSDs, and optical media are all delicate, and need full-metal protection. While HDDs and SSDs have the benefit of size and speed, they lack the critical read-only functionality provided by optical discs to ensure that once data is written, it cannot be maliciously modified with viruses. Additionally, preventing downtime is important in any mission-critical system, so a storage management solution that is both modular and hot-swappable becomes necessary. ICY DOCK’s line of ruggedized full-metal Optical Disc Drive ODD+SSD combo enclosures are the first to combine conventional storage with a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray reader in a fully hot-swappable enclosure, built for protection to stand up to the heat and impact in arid desert environments.
