Description

  The present invention relates to a 3.5-inch disk array module containing a 2.5-inch hard disk for use in a personal computer or other devices, and in particular, two 2.5-inch hard disk drives are already standard equipment on a computer. A 3.5-inch convertible disk drive with two 2.5-inch hard disk drives can be installed in a 5-inch SATA disk array module and installed in a general computer housing 3.5-inch disk bay. The present invention relates to a 3.5 inch disk array module containing a 2.5 inch hard disk that can be fixed or installed with any 3.5 inch disk drive and can be installed in any device.

Known computer data recording media include hard disks, soft disks, CDs, DVDs, and various memory cards. Among them, since hard disks are stable and have a large amount of recording, personal computers, servers, and digital recording devices have been used since early on. It is an indispensable recording device for the device equipped with
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the computer metal housing 9 of most personal computer motherboards or server motherboards includes several 5.25 inch and 3.5 inch standard disk drive bays 91, 92. The 5.25 inch disk drive bay 91 allows a 5.25 inch CD drive, 5.25 inch DVD-RAM drive, a slide lock tray with a housing of 5.25 inch and a 3.5 inch hard disk to be selectively used. ing.
The 3.5-inch disk drive bay 92 is configured so that a 3.5-inch hard disk drive, a 1.44-inch soft disk drive or a card reader conforming to the 3.5-inch standard can be selected and installed.

  Usually, the disk drive installed in the computer motherboard mainly includes 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch disk drives, and the 5.25-inch disk drive has a 5.25 hard disk drive (in recent years, it has been used near production discontinuation). Or 3.5-inch hard disk drive (using mount kit). One 3.5 inch hard disk drive or one 2.5 inch hard disk drive is provided inside the 3.5 inch disk drive.

Of the known 5.25 inch and 3.5 inch disk drives, only one 5.25 inch, 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch disk drive can be installed, respectively. As a .5 inch disk drive, an array-type backup cannot be performed, and support by using two hard disk drives at the same time cannot be used, and the range of use of the conventional 3.5 inch disk drive is greatly limited.
