Serial ATA DE110 is a removable drive carrier and
"universal" receiving frame, designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) low-
profile (up to 1" high) 3.5" SATA drive within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2).
The SATA DE110 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another SATA DE110-
equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data
by removing and storing the drive safely for future use.
The SATA DE110 is the first removable drive enclosure for SATA host interfaces to provide
compatibility with both SATA and PATA drives. The SATA DE110 incorporates a unique
"universal" receiving frame (patent pending), capable of use with either a SATA or PATA
DE110 drive carrier!

inside a computer peripheral bay or external expansion chassis. This guide supplements
documentation provided with the host computer system, operating system, and the drive to
be installed within the carrier.
