About this product
The SYSCOM DS-104R is a rack-mountable e-SATA mass storage system designed to house up to four hard drives. It features eSATA for high-speed connectivity, along with USB 1.0/1.1 and USB 2.0 interfaces for broader compatibility and RAID configuration. This unit does not come with hard drives installed, allowing users to select their preferred storage capacity. It's built for those needing to consolidate multiple drives into a single, organized unit.
Our take
This SYSCOM DS-104R enclosure is a straightforward solution for consolidating up to four hard drives in a rack-mountable format. The inclusion of eSATA is a plus for faster data transfer compared to older USB standards, though the presence of USB 1.0/1.1 and 2.0 suggests an older design. It's important to note that it's diskless, so you'll need to factor in the cost of four drives. This system seems ideal for a home lab or small office where you need basic RAID capabilities for your own drives without a massive investment, but don't expect cutting-edge USB 3.0 or beyond.
