Whether you’re looking to increase your drive storage capacity, access swapped-out and/or archived drives, or utilize drives like memory cards, the DriveXpander opens up a new world of storage convenience for PC desktop and legacy Mac Pros. After an easy two minute install in any open full sized expansion slot on the back of your machine, you can swap 2.5” SATA hard drives and solid state drives as you desire.

Experience The Power of Storage Convenience

• Adds additional storage capacity when internal bays are filled.
• Offers quick and easy bare drive status verification.
• Access individual drives from a storage array with minimal or no system down time.
• Adds storage capacity to small form factor chassis that don’t offer accessible bays.
• Add removable storage to the rear of a system, where it is less noticeable or accessible to unauthorized users. A great option for HTPCs!

 Three Easy Steps to Use A Drive In DriveXpander

1. Open drive access lever.
2. Gently insert drive until you meet resistance (about ¾ of drive inserted).
3. Close drive access lever to fully insert and connect drive.

That’s all you have to do to start reading and/or writing to the drive!
