Hand-crafted 100% in the USA from the
finest materials and manufacturing processes available. Every part is
precision machined from thick aluminum billet for not only outstanding
looks, but to increase the cooling capabilities by dispersing heat
throughout the entire case.
|
|
 |
|
Unsurpassed attention to detail is seen all throughout the case. Each part
is carefully designed for form and function, creating a beautiful
enclosure that is at home even next to the finest
audiophile components. |

The HeatSync NAS-8x 2.5 Series case allows you to pack lots of
storage capacity into a
small, low-profile package. By utilizing the newest 500GB 2.5" drives, you
can build a 4 Terabyte server that only consumes 48 watts of
power for the entire system! |
 |
|
Completely fanless, the massive heatsinks
dissipate system heat for a truly silent
server. |
 |
|
Internally, the computer components are well laid out for equal heat
distribution and easy servicing. The HeatSync 2500 Mini-Client will fit a
number motherboards and RAID cards allowing you to build a system for your
specific needs. |
 |
|
The simple back panel allows for quick and easy connection to your external
components. PCI or PCIe slot can hold either full height or half height RAID
cards.
There are many different 8-port PCIe RAID cards that can be used in the
HeatSync NAS-8x 2.5 Series case. One suggestion is the
Promise SuperTrak EX8350

Highly efficient HeatSync®
CPU cooling system transfers heat directly into chassis. No fans are
required to cool the processor. The VIA SN1800G motherboard pictured above
only draws 28 watts under load, combined with the PCIe RAID card consuming 6
watts, and nine 2.5" HDD's each drawing 1.6 watts, gives a total load of
only 48 watts for the entire system! |
 |
|
For quiet and cool operation of the hard drive, we designed a smaller
version of the same isolation system used in our other Mass Storage cases. The drive module floats on specially
designed isolation pads eliminating noise from vibration. The drives attach
to the thick, precision-machined aluminum, vertical side plates. The side
plates attach to the thick aluminum upper and lower plates which dissipate
heat into the heatsink chassis. Holds up to nine 2.5" drives. |

The 2.5" Series Advantage Seagate Momentus 2.5" HDD:
- Average read/write power 1.6 Watts
- Idle power 0.7 Watts
- Idle noise 2.3 bels
- Seek noise 2.6 bels
Seagate 7200.1 Desktop 3.5" HDD:
- Average read/write power 13 Watts
- Idle power 9.3 Watts
- Idle noise 2.8 bels
- Seek noise 3.7 bels
Conclusion: As you can see, a typical 3.5" HDD consumes almost ten
times the amount of power as a 2.5" HDD. This allows you to pack more
storage capacity into a smaller space and create much less heat and noise. |
