Concept Product CP136

8 x 2.5" U.2/U.3 NVMe SSD (Max 15mm) Data Shuttle Rack for 5.25" Optical Drive Bay (4 x MCIO SFF-TA-1016 8i)

Product Details

CP136 is a Concept Product based on customer suggestions. While not yet scheduled for release, with sufficient customer support and detailed feedback, we aim to bring it to market. Your insights are crucial in shaping this product and confirming market demand. Please share your thoughts and desired specifications by clicking the icons below or joining the discussion in our forum. Your input helps turn this concept into reality!

Product Introduction

The CP136 concept product is engineered for enterprise-level data migration and cross-site data transport, offering a secure solution for large digital file movement and offline backups. Designed to fit seamlessly into a standard 5.25” optical drive bay, this Data Shuttle Enclosure accommodates up to 8x U.2/U.3 NVMe SSDs, enabling lightning-fast PCIe 5.0 transfer speeds up to 128Gbps. Ideal for media production, enterprise IT environments, and secure physical data transport, the CP136 ensures efficient, high-capacity data handling with its tool-free, screw-less SSD installation, perfect for professionals managing high-volume data migration.
Modular Data Transport with Tool-less SSD Installation

The CP136 features an innovative removable tray design, allowing for modular data transport by supporting the quick swapping of up to 8 U.2/U.3 NVMe SSDs in one pull. Users can lift the upper SSD tray and place SSDs without the need for tools or screws, completing the entire operation in less than a minute. For added stability, optional screw holes are available on the tray to secure the SSDs during transit. This feature is particularly advantageous for applications requiring site-to-site data transfer and secure physical data migration in sectors like defense, media, and enterprise IT.
Efficient Data Migration for Mission-Critical Environments

The CP136 data shuttle is designed for high-volume data migration, particularly in industries where secure and efficient physical data transfer is essential. This solution is ideal for media production studios needing to transfer large video files between on-site editing stations and remote archival servers, or for enterprise IT environments managing off-site data backups to ensure business continuity. In defense and aerospace sectors, it facilitates secure data transfer between isolated networks or across geographically distributed locations, supporting cross-site data migration without relying on network infrastructure.
Unmatched PCIe 5.0 Transfer Speeds

Equipped with four MCIO 8i connectors, the CP136 fully supports PCIe 5.0 U.2/U.3 NVMe SSDs, achieving transfer speeds up to 128Gbps. This ensures high-speed data handling, making the CP136 four times faster than PCIe 3.0 and significantly faster than traditional SATA solutions, perfect for high-volume data transport and demanding IT workflows.
Rugged All-Metal Design

Part of the renowned ToughArmor series, the CP136 features a durable all-metal chassis and drive caddy, capable of withstanding temperatures from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. Built for harsh environments, this enclosure comes with a 5-year industry-leading warranty, providing reliable performance even in challenging data migration applications.
Individual Drive Status LED Indicators

Each drive bay in the CP136 is equipped with an LED indicator to display power and activity status. When no drive is installed, the LEDs turn off automatically to save power, offering a practical solution for energy-conscious users.
Optimal Cooling for Intensive Data Migration

The CP136 is equipped with dual high-efficiency 40x40x20mm cooling fans that draw cool air through the perforated front panel and expel heat from the rear. This, coupled with the all-metal construction, ensures effective heat dissipation, making the CP136 ideal for intensive data transfer operations requiring sustained performance.
