SATA Drive Switcher Hard Drive Selector for desktop computers Overview Designed to manage and power multiple 2.5inch hard drives from a single desktop system, while making efficient use of the optical drive bay space on the host. Provides independent control of multiple HDDs with a compact, reliable switching solution. Key benefits Independent drive control: Four selflocking switches independently control six power outputs, enabling selective powering of up to six drives from a single unit. Space optimization: Fixes and positions a 2.5inch hard disk in the optical drive bay area to optimize internal PC space. Clear status at a glance: Each power output includes a dedicated indicator to quickly verify drive power status. Reliable power handling: Built with eight solidstate capacitors to support stable drive operation. Robust connections: Output uses a 5569 4P interface with a snapin connector for a solid, reliable connection. Versatile input options: Two input connections support IDE and SATA 15P interfaces, making it compatible with a wide range of power supplies. What it does Role: Fixes a 2.5inch hard disk in the optical drive space of the host and provides independent control over six power outputs via four selflocking switches. Includes visibility through power indicators and uses eight solidstate capacitors to improve reliability. It is designed as a HDD Power Control Switch, with the output configured through a 5569 4P interface with a snapin connector. This interface is the same style used by motherboard CPU power supplies, contributing to reliable operation. Compatibility and inputs Two input connections: IDE and SATA 15P two input interfaces. Suitable for use with any power supply that provides IDE or SATA 15P input options. Use scenarios Multidrive desktop workstation: Power and switch on/off up to six different 2.5inch drives from a single control unit, ideal for testing, benchmarking, or selective drive usage. System maintenance and testing: Easily isolate and power individual drives during troubleshooting or replacement without disconnecting cables from the power supply. Spaceefficient builds: Integrate a 2.5inch HDD into the optical drive bay area to maximize internal case space, while retaining full control over drive power. Notes This device is intended to optimize drive management in desktop PCs by combining fixed 2.5inch drive mounting, multiple independent power switches, and straightforward input compatibility. The described interface and connections reflect the described hardware configuration, including the 4P/5569 snapin output interface and the IDE and SATA 15P inputs.
