DataPort HotDock
External Drive Enclosure Enables IDE Hot Swap
The DataPort HotDock is an external hard drive enclosure that provides the ability to hot swap IDE drives on a PC or MAC (the enclosure supports both FireWire and USB 2.0 interfaces). The vendor notes that the enclosure is compatible with most 3.5" IDE/ATA-6 hard disk drives.

The HotDock is plug-n-play, and is offered in bundles with or without drive carriers. Drives can be interchanged within the enclosure without powering down the host. The HotDock can be deployed horizontally or vertically, and features a low-noise fan for cooling.

For the individual drives themselves, the enclosure supports the vendor's DataPort V and DataPort V Plus drive carriers. The DataPort V is a plastic carrier available in latch or keylock versions that support IDE, Narrow SCSI, and Ultra Wide SCSI/LVD interfaces. The DataPort V Plus is a cast aluminum carrier supporting IDE ATA-133, Ultra Narrow SCSI, Ultra2 Wide SCSI (LVD) and Ultra160 interfaces. Additional features of the DataPort V Plus carrier include the vendor's Temperature Controlled Cooling System and a fan failure alarm.

New to the HotDock feature set is a bundled offering--called HotDock Secure--including both the HotDock and the vendor's Encryption Removable Hard Drive Carrier, offered in 64 (DES) and 128-bit (3DES) flavors. As its name suggests, this optional drive carrier adds security to stored data via built-in hardware-based data encryption; data is automatically and transparently encrypted before being stored on the drive and decrypted when retrieved. The entire hard drive is encrypted, including the boot sector, O/S, temporary and swap files; and, according to the vendor, each Encryption DataPort ships with its own unique encryption key, which is not stored by the vendor.

The DataPort HotDock ships with FireWire/USB cables and a power supply.

The new HotDock Secure offering is now available with estimated Government pricing of $209 (64-bit DES) and $279 (128-bit 3DES).
