Addonics Technologies (www.addonics.com) has announced the US$49Addonics 5-IN-3 Drive Chassis, a storage solution that lets you increase the density of storage devices in a small space.

The new product features a drive bracket that enables users to install up to five 3.5-inch drives into many desktop computers, servers or rack mount systems via three standard 5.25-inch drive bays. The 5-IN-3 Drive Chassis increases by 67% the total number of 3.5″ storage devices that can be installed into multi-bay storage chassis or systems with three or more 5.25-inch drive bays.

For example, on the Addonics Storage Tower III that has three 5.25-inch drive bays, as many as ten hard drives can be installed by mounting five, instead of three, 2.5-inch Double Snap-In drives into the 5-IN-3 Drive Chassis.
